Award Data

Stuxnet malware destroyed Iran’s nuclear centrifuges by altering the rotational speed by increments undetectable to humans. Cyber attacks with nation-state backing have produced this and other examples of adversarial danger.  It is very possible for an adversary to carry out the destruction, detonation, or launch of our ICBMs. In order to understand where software comes from, validate its pedig ...

The overall objective of this program is to develop an open platform of strategic radiation hardened IP on the commercially available 16nm FinFET foundry technology from Intel to enable development of ASICs, SoCs, and other custom integrated circuits. Trusted Semiconductor Solutions will develop a strategic radiation hardened latches and flip flops, memory bit cells, voltage controlled oscillator ...

A comprehensive software tool for Rendezvous and Proximity Operations using Random Finite Set algorithms (RPO-RFS) will be produced to facilitate dynamic spacecraft command and control around obstructions and debris for On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and M

A proposal to develop an architectural concept for a low-cost, near real-time, passive optical fence for low Earth orbit (LEO) surveillance incorporating an innovative, computationally efficient, multi-hypothesis, search algorithm for detecting dim moving objects. This new search algorithm significantly reduces computing complexity, and thus associated hardware costs. Optical arrays could be imple ...

The only companies working on this technology are in China/Taiwan and the Middle East.  In fact, China has stated a national goal to dominate Bluetooth/5G RFID (and especially the crucial semi-conductors required to power it) by the year 2025.  Other than

10% of cancers are associated with an inherited pathogenic variant that can partially be identified by cancer gene panel testing, but up to 40% of cases show variants of uncertain significance (VUS) or no pathogenic variant results. VUS or no pathogenic variant do not reassign risk and, are confusing for how to proceed with surveillance/prevention. Morgan & Mendel Genomics (MMG) has developed rapi ...

Defense Need: The U.S. Air Force 2030 Science and Technology Strategy’s vision is “An Air Force that dominates time, space, and complexity in future conflict across all operating domains to project power and defend the homeland.” The document specifically calls for advanced technology solutions along the following five strategic capabilities: 1. Global Persistent Awareness, 2. Resilient Info ...

Approximately 4% of the population, and 7% of combat veterans have nightmare disorder. Chronic nightmares are found in approximately 18% of patients with insomnia, 15% with anxiety and depression, and 50-80% of patients with PTSD. Annually, eight (8) Million Americans and 20% of Airmen and Soldiers serving in wartime operations and US conflicts are diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PT ...

The issues in the Afghan evacuation highlight the Air Force is lacking in its capability to collect, compile, and disseminate data reports in a timely manner. The Air Force can only move as fast as its ability to disseminate information and make informed

The purpose of this effort is to develop enhanced Custom Support Electronics (CSE) capable of providing high-fidelity scene data synchronously to a large-format scene projector or sensor for HWIL simulations.  The goal is to use the new CSE (NESSIE2) for driving current and new scene projectors with synthetic imagery generated by KHILS-developed FLITES or FLINT scene-generation PCs. A major empha ...
