This project is dedicated to the development of an adaptive network security management tool that is analogous to implementing and incident/response paring mechanism on top of a universal remote control facility for a variety of network and security tools, network types and operating systems. Our proposed approach to accomplishing this is to integrate and agent architecture with a Case-Based Reas ...

WITH THE ADVENT OF LASERS IN COMMUNICATIONS, ONE TECHNIQUE THAT IS EMPLOYED IS DIRECT AMPLITUDE MODULATION OF THE SOURCE LASER WITH THE RF WAVE THAT ACTUALLY CARRIES THE INFORMATION OF INTEREST. DEMODULATION IS PERFORMED VIA DIRECT DETECTION OF THE RECEIVED BEAM FOR MANY SHORT-DISTANT COMMUNICATIONS. A LIMITATION ON THIS TECHNIQUE IS THE LINEARITY OF THE DIRECT MODULATION. THAT IS, THE AMPLITUDE O ...

DARPA has identified collaborative computing as a technology not yet adequately developed in the marketplace. This need to share and interactively work with documents and other information objects across separate computer systems is really the underlying human business need that originally drove the creation of network technology, desktop video-teleconferencing, and even the failed earlier indust ...

A dynamic Environment driven by real-world data is a crucial element in Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS). The synthetic Environments Program's Dynamic Terrain and Objects (DTO) project has developed an architecture for including a dynamic environment in distributed simulations. However, to date, heterogeneous applications have not been to interoperate. In addition, the long-term success ...

A one watt 94 GHz power amplifier with >2 GHz bandwidth will be designed, and an operational brassboard model fabricated. The approach is based upon power combining of four single-diode silicon IMPATT amplifier modules using magic-tees. The brassboard model will serve as a developmental unit during Phase II in which a product development effort will lead to a production version. Also on Phase I ...

A PROTOTYPE OF ESM/ELINT RECEIVER SYSTEM UTILIZING ACOUSTIC CHARGE TRANSPORT (ACT) TECHNOLOGY IN AN ADAPTIVE CHANNELIZER IS PROPOSED. THE TYPES OF ACT TECHNOLOGY TO BE EXPLOITED IN THIS DEVELOPMENT ARE TUNABLE FILTERS WITH PROGRAMMABLE BANDWIDTHS AND ADJUSTABLE DELAY LINES FOR DELAY LINE DISCRIMINATORS. A VERY LONG DELAY USING ACT TECHNOLOGY WILL ALSO BE INVESTIGATED. THIS ADAPTIVE RECEIVER BUILDS ...

Mountain Wave, Inc. proposes to investigate the development of an automated network security management product that would allow personnel within an Information Technology (IT) organization to combine information from heterogeneous sources into an integrated application that captures business processes and automates tasks to "prevent" potential security violations. This product will: be "extensib ...

The rapid expansion in the use of microwave communications has created a need for dramatically improved microwave devices. Frequency filters are a key component in the wireless communication and military systems. Currently available filters are discrete bulky components. In this program NZ Applied Technologies in collaboration with Las Alamos National Laboratory proposes to develop novel tunab ...

For this Phase I effort, Observera proposes to develop an attribute based system for automated image quality assessment of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Imagery. Observera's expertise in SAR image analysis, image quality assessment and digital image processing algorithms are uniquely suited to this program. The imagery community uses the Radar National Imagery Interpretation Rating System (RNII ...
