We propose to evaluate and recommend a set of candidate models of the flow and evolution of population beliefs and intentions as the starting point for developing a deployable DIME Effects Model (DEM) for tactical commanders. DIME (Diplomatic, Information, Military and Economic) seeks to avoid counter-productive and conflicting activities during tactical operations by considering these factors in ...

Accurate numerical predictions of antenna performance on aircraft are important in many problems of avionics design and integration. In particular, such predictions are needed to determine optimal antenna placement on aircraft in order to achieve required coverage. The focus of this project is an investigation and development of new high-frequency computational methods and codes for accurate and e ...

Cermet, Inc in collaboration with Georgia Institute of Technology proposes to develop ZnO based light emitter with light emission wavelengths ranging from UV to IT. On successful completion of the proposed effort, the market place will have a unified device structure based ZnO that emits light from UV to IR. The proposed work will be accomplished by the researchers from Cermet and Georgia Institut ...

We propose to develop an enterprise portal architecture for integrating Air Force data sources, making this information accessible through standard web appliances. Our proposed solution is a two-fold approach. First, we will develop an enterprise portal server technology that makes use of and extends Cybernet Systems OpenSkiesä networking and simulation technologies. Second, we will design and i ...

The goal of this Phase II project is to develop a decision aid tool that provides for the management and arbitration of data flow between fielded assets. Our solution will act as a decision aid to support situational awareness on the battlefield. Assets can be coordinated efficiently since decision-makers and dismounted units alike will have access to the full situational picture. Our solution wil ...

The solicitation calls for "approaches for providing a safe environment for detecting software vulnerabilities and malicious code. Determine how these approaches might be employed in typical development/sustainment processes and facilities." The approach we believe will return the greatest benefit with a low cost is converting a Windows (or Linux as the sponsor requires) PC into an instrumented s ...

Cybernet will develop Behavior Detection Modules for the purpose of detecting, detecting, tracking, analyzing, and interpreting biomotion behaviors, including the prediction of hostile actions and alerting the Army to suspicious events. The final unit will be a portable, battery powered, ruggedized, and designed to function optically in extreme light and environmental conditions. Crowd recogniti ...

Highly fluorinated, nanoscaled polymers were developed in a Phase I program (Contract No. W81XWH-04-C-0132) as an oxygen-carrying treatment for hemorrhagic shock in battlefield environments. These were highly soluble in water and buffered electrolyte solution (up to roughly 50% weight/volume) and were thermally stable up to 167 °C. Mixing the polymers with dilute canine blood significantly enhanc ...

At a recent DIA briefing to industry, intelligence community representatives reiterated the urgent need for improving the TPED process to meet the operational need to obtain persistent intelligence about on the battlefield. TPED is the process of sensor tasking, sensor processing, sensor exploitation and report dissemination. The requirement to improve the ISR TPED process has been articulated ...

We propose to address the problem of communications blackout caused by the plasma layer around a hypersonic vehicle through the application of electric and magnetic fields to control the properties of this plasma layer. An embedded magnet integrated beneath a communications or GPS antenna along with electrodes on each side of the antenna will create electric and magnetic fields that accelerate the ...
