To address the OSD need for an innovative model and a dynamic system of cyber threat identification coupled with a means to redirect suspicious or malicious network activity to independent locations for investigation, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Threats Redirection and Analysis System (TRAS). TRAS integrates POC-developed network protection model with existing BGP F ...

Today's decision analysts are faced with an ever-increasing amount of information from a large number of sensors and other data sets. Data fusion is a key component of this effort to integrate information from various data sources. In particular, one of the crucial aspects in battlefield operations concerns the development of continuous, unambiguous tracks on objects of interest in the survei ...

This proposal is to extend into Phase II our development of a new system for Cultural Information and Value Visualization System (CIVVS). We are joined in this effort by subcontractor the University of California at Irvine (UCI) Department of Sociology with Principal Investigator Professor Rick Grannis. CIVVS provides new and powerful tools for analyzing, selecting, and visualizing critical cult ...

The overall objective of this proposal is to evaluate the new in-situ growth monitoring system, Auger Probe, in an MBE environment for reliable and reproducible, highly precise results. State-of-the art data manipulation techniques will be used without impacting the growth process (MBE in this case). Using Auger Electron Spectrometry (AES), the Probe system will be used for in situ, real time an ...

This STTR Phase I project will develop a novel multifunctional coating to combat a wide range of threats in a variety of complex situations for the warfighter. Military combat uniforms currently use NYCO fabrics (Nylon/cotton 50/50). The US Army is seeking new coating technologies that will impart multifunctional properties such as antistatic, conductive, flame resistance, improved abrasion resis ...

The proposed work will result in a method for production of dense, hard, tough, strong tungten carbide (WC) ceramic material for ultimate use as the penetrating core in armor piercing projectiles. Focus is on the development and feasibility of a titanium silicon carbide (Ti3SiC2) based matrix as a replacement for cobalt based materials currently used. Ti3SiC2 is a so called ductile ceramic which ...

The goal of the proposed work is to develop simulation and analysis model based on cognitive task analysis for cyber situation awareness, for human-in-the-loop testing and training. Cognitive task analysis technique is a prominent approach that captures knowledge representation used by experts to perform complex tasks. It provides a comprehensive vulnerability assessment using cognitive metrics t ...

This program creates a new class of advanced transceiver techology. This technology can create 40 Gbps VCSEL-based micro-transceiver (uTRX) components that operate reliably over the standard military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C in Army environments. uTRXs are low-cost, compact components that can be assembled onto the PCB in close proximity to high-performance ASICs using conventional ...

Toyon Research Corporation proposes to develop a portable tool for deployment planning, real-time monitoring, and maintenance of tactical wireless ground sensor networks. The tool will consist of a tablet (iPad, Android, or Windows) application and a desktop/cloud web service application. The tablet app will be used by the warfighter for planning, display, plan modification, sensor monitoring, a ...

To address the Army need for advanced data stream disassembly and reassembly solutions, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Scalable Parallelized LInk data Transmission Through Embedded Referencing (SPLITTER) technology. SPLITTER consists of two hardware elements: a satellite side data disassembler and a ground-station-based reassembler. It is based on advanced self referen ...
