Abstract: An emitter ID ambiguity reduction system includes a Mission Data File Ambiguity Resolution matrix that contains both a) the INTEL-based emitter parameters data necessary to break emitter-by-emitter ambiguities, and b) the action(s) the Electronic Warfare (EW) system is to take to collect that data. Control software is triggered via either external command or per Mission Data File information (such as that contained in the Ambiguity Resolution Matrix). The emitter ID ambiguity reduction system includes Data collection hardware and firmware and Data Analysis OFP software algorithm(s).

Abstract: A mid-wave infrared (MWIR) discrete zoom lens for use with remote surveillance and identification having a dual focal length of 9 and 6.39 inches and F #2.8 and F #2, respectively. In one case, a full field of view is about 30.8 degrees for a 9 inch focal length configuration and about 43 degrees for a 6.39 inch focal length configuration. The lens is corrected for monochromatic and chromatic aberrations over the wavelength range 5100 nm-3300 nm. The focal plane may constitute a pixel array consisting of MWIR sensitive material (e.g. InSb, HgCdTe, nBn, SLS, etc.) for use in high-resolution, wide-area imaging applications.

Abstract: The system and method for imaging having filter containing polarized elements, multispectral elements or both being oscillated in circular or linear motion so each individual pixel will view a scene thru the individual filters. The motion of the filter is synchronized with a frame rate of an imager. In one example this is accomplished by micro actuators. Each pixel sampling feeds a processor detection algorithm that determines if a multispectral/polarization signature is present in the scene.

Abstract: The system and method for position, navigation, and timing and more particularly to a system that is time and/or position independent and capable of autonomous transition from GPS to non-GPS navigation. The integrated position, navigation, and timing system uses primary and secondary navigation sensors and primary and secondary navigation measurement sources with a common time reference architecture, an integrated “dual-grid” navigation module, an integrated “dual-grid” navigation Kalman filter, and an integrated “dual-grid” navigation source selection module to provide both geodetic and relative grid timing and/or location among members of a network of platforms, particularly in GPS denied or degraded environments.

Abstract: The system and method of a dual mode semi active laser seeker and imaging system using pulse detection and angle determination as applied to quad detectors to properly identify a correct designator spot. The angle performance is driven by the field of view of the imaging system. The imaging system resolution provides the required angle accuracy for guidance as cued by pulse detection apertures. The imaging system eliminates the need to designate until impact thus eliminating exposure to counter fire against the designator. The elimination of designation until impact also opens up the opportunity rapid engagement of multiple targets from a single designator.

Abstract: Systems for detecting a presence of a microbolometer are provided. The systems may also discriminate a type of the microbolometer. The systems may comprise analog filtering and processing or digital filtering and processing. In some examples, both analog and digital filtering may be used. For example, a system may comprises a photodiode, an analog to digital converter (ADC) having a frequency sampling rate of at least two times an expected frequency range of known microbolometers and a processor. The ADC may receive an amplified output from the photodiode and produce a sampled sequence using the frequency sampling rate. The processor converts the sampled sequence into a frequency profile, examines the frequency profile to identity at least a fundamental frequency and determines whether a microbolometer is detected in a line of sight of the photodiode based on the fundamental frequency.

Abstract: A process for securely processing a search query for homomorphically encrypted search results is provided. The process includes receiving a search query from a requesting device, the search query including a request for encrypted data stored in a data store operably coupled to the one or more processors. The process further includes executing a search function to access a set of search results from the data store, the search results including homomorphically encrypted information, and determining, based upon the search query, a transmission encryption technique for secure transmission of the search results to the requesting device. The search results can be additionally encrypted using the transmission encryption technique to generate an additionally encrypted search response that includes the homomorphically encrypted information. The process can further include causing transmission of the additionally encrypted search response to the requesting device.

Abstract: A narrow band antenna is configured to guide a munition toward a target location during a flight of the munition from a launch location toward the target location. The antenna has a first mode of operation operable during a first portion of the flight at a first bandwidth, and a second mode of operation operable during a second portion of the flight at a second bandwidth, the second bandwidth being a harmonic of the first bandwidth, and may be a third harmonic of the first bandwidth. The method includes transmitting a target location information to the munition in the first bandwidth during the first portion of the flight and then transmitting the target location information to the munition in the second bandwidth during the second portion of the flight. The first band may be X-band and the second band may be Ka-band.

Abstract: A tightly coupled dipole array is an egg-crate configuration defined by a plurality of electrically connected antenna unit cells. At least one of the unit cells utilizes a short or conductive element that shorts the common mode resonance. Shorting the common mode resonance in an intentional manner removes instances of the common mode resonance. To achieve the shorting of the common mode resonance, a conductive element is connected with one of the dipole arms and connected to the outer conductor of the feed or a ground plane. This creates a grounding loop that pushes the resonance out of the band of interest.
