Abstract: A method for vision-aided navigation which utilizes an image registration system to update a navigation control system. One exemplary feature of the method includes the use of Enhanced Phase Correlation techniques to create a reference imagery database and register images against the created database. The method may be operated on a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions which when executed by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform the method for vision-aided navigation which utilizes an image registration system to update a navigation control system.

Abstract: The system and method of guiding an autonomous vehicle and/or mapping a target in 3D space using a digital light processing array and a laser with a wide field of view. The variability of the digital light processing array allows for adjustment of image resolution to account for range, weather conditions, and attitude of the target. Coupled with a learning AI system, an unmanned vehicle can offer superior tactical flexibility in the operational environment.

Abstract: A laser warning receiver system and method having at least four optical components mapped to a photodetector array to provide for omnidirectional detection of incident laser light. In some cases, a fifth optical component is mapped to the central portion of a photodetector array to provide hemispheric detection of laser light. The laser warning receiver system is configured to detect laser light in the NIR, SWIR, MWIR, and/or LWIR range using a single photodetector array and ROIC.

Abstract: Anti-jamming techniques are provided for RF receivers, such as those that operate in hostile environments. In some embodiments, the techniques are embodied in an anti-jam communications system configured with automatic gain control (AGC) that is complementary. The system includes a first AGC circuit prior to an interference suppression circuit and a second AGC circuit after the interference suppression circuit. The first AGC circuit operates to adjust the power level presented to the interference suppression circuit to facilitate interference cancellation. The second AGC circuit operates to maintain the original power level of the desired communications signal and prevent amplitude errors as the first AGC circuit responds to fluctuations in jammer signal power. The second AGC can be slaved to the first AGC circuit such that the sum of two gain values is held constant, according to some embodiments. In this manner, the first and second AGC circuits provide a complementary-AGC system.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for self-configuration of a sensor array. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes deploying a number of mobile sensor elements from a base unit to a region of interest. The method also includes transmitting an initial sensor configuration plan from the base unit to the sensor elements. The mobile sensor elements navigate to a calculated location based on the initial sensor configuration plan. Sensor data is collected by each of the elements and transmitted back to the base unit for data integration. The method further includes performing, by the base unit, a response analysis using the integrated sensor data and updating the initial sensor configuration plan based on a metric associated with the response analysis. The method further includes iterating these operations to employ the updated sensor configuration plan. Additional iterations are performed until the metric reaches a selected threshold value.

Abstract: The system and method for protecting multiple networked enclaves each having one or more insecure machines. The system may include an attack detector as part of a secure node (e.g., SAFE node) proxy. The system may include an attack detector external to the proxy. The proxy may support multiple detectors and its actions may include isolating an insecure machine, cleansing an insecure machine, or tattling on (impugning the reputation of) an insecure machine.
