Abstract: A system and method for combining the inputs of various sensors used in platforms, primarily those having a military use, having or making use of a number of inputs capable of determining information about an environment in which they are operating. Each input is configured to output a standardized set of information regarding its capabilities and the environment in which it is operating. A correlator is configured to adaptably process the information based on rules contained in at least one changeable correlation matrix and information contained in at least one changeable configuration file. The information, or simply an alert, is provided to at least one output that provides the information to a human operator.

Abstract: A soft-kill countermeasure system utilizing a confirmation device, which may be radar, to enhance existing countermeasures, and enable new countermeasures to be utilized to combat the ever evolving and increasing sophistication of threats. The threat defeat confirmation may allow for rapid or immediate redirection of the countermeasure system to address additional simultaneous threats. The confirmation device can be mounted on a gimbal head or above a gimbal to take advantage of slewing movement to direct the confirmation signal towards the threat.

Abstract: A port protection network provided with a joint test action group (JTAG) core and method of use. The port protection network includes an agent device operatively connected with a streaming bus and a test access port (TAP) of the JTAG core. The port protection network also includes a master device operatively connected with the streaming bus and the TAP of the JTAG core. In the port protection network, the agent device is configured to selectively restrict access to the master device through the JTAG core.

Abstract: A sensor determines the spin rate or rotation frequency of a munition body of a guided projectile relative to precision guidance munition assembly. The spin rate is used to determine launch velocity of the guided projectile early in flight before GPS is operationally active. The launch velocity is used to determine whether a corrective maneuver is needed to change the range of the guided projectile. Logic can control the canards on the canard assembly in response to the determination that a corrective maneuver is needed.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for a multi-frequency sampling system. A system implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes a first bandpass filter to filter a radio frequency (RF) signal to generate a first filtered signal in a first frequency band, and a second bandpass filter to filter the RF signal to generate a second filtered signal in a second frequency band. The system also includes a first analog to digital converter (ADC) operating at a first sampling frequency to convert the first filtered signal to a first digital signal and a second ADC operating at a second sampling frequency to convert the second filtered signal to a second digital signal. The first frequency band is selected to avoid a first Nyquist boundary zone associated with the first sampling frequency and the second frequency band is selected to avoid a second Nyquist boundary zone associated with the second sampling frequency.

Abstract: A content based video organization, prioritization, and retrieval system and method utilizes metadata contained or included with or inferred from image frames of a video stream obtained from a sensor carried by a platform. The metadata are indexed and stored for processing to automatically create workflows depicting resultant images of a target, object, or location of interest. The workflows can be incorporated with a representation or graph based on the metadata that is time agnostic with respect to when the image frame containing the metadata was obtained by the sensor.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for determining a range to an object in a fluid. The system includes a polarized light source directed to the object in the fluid, a first imaging sensor, a second imaging sensor, and at least one processor. The at least one processor characterizes a depolarization rate of the fluid and determines the range to the object. The method includes generating polarized light via a polarized light source, polarizing an imager relative to the polarized light, transmitting the polarized light from the polarized light source into the fluid, receiving reflected light from the object, characterizing a depolarization rate of the fluid, based, at least in part, on the reflected light, and determining the range to the object, based, at least in part, on the depolarization rate of the fluid.

Abstract: Nosecone and tailfin designs for aerodynamic systems are disclosed. The designs increase the usable volume within the fuselage of the aerodynamic system while still maintaining the same length for the aerodynamic system. In an example, the nosecone is truncated and includes a blunted tip compared to standard nosecone designs, which allows for more useable space along the length of the aerodynamic system. A tailfin structure is fabricated as a separate piece (separate from the fuselage of the aerodynamic system) and slips over a portion of one end of the fuselage, thus allowing useable volume within the fuselage beneath the tailfin structure. The tailfin structure also includes a hollow cavity for holding componentry (e.g., an RF transmitter, receiver, or transceiver device) with wires that feed through the tailfin structure and into the fuselage of the aerodynamic system.

Abstract: A pressure collet that operably engages with a die in which the pressure collet is configured to land on predetermined positions of the die without damaging said die, a perform, or a heat spreader during a reflow process. The pressure collet further comprises a plate that has a mounting surface and a plurality of contact pads that operably engages with the mounting surface of the plate. The plurality of contact pads is configured to apply pressure to predetermined positions of a die without the mounting surface of the plate contacting the die during a reflow process. The plate of the pressure collet is also formed of a first material and the plurality of contact pads are formed of a second material different than the first material.

Abstract: A dynamic controlling framework that is adapted to dynamically optimize existing routing decisions in an optimized link state routing (OLSR) platform to favor higher-bandwidth, lower-latency links in the active link database. The dynamic controlling framework includes a link probing tool that is in communication with OLSR platform where the link probing tool is adapted to dynamically measure estimated bandwidth, latency scores, or both estimated bandwidth and latency scores of active links in the active link database of the OLSR platform. The dynamic controlling framework includes a plug-in framework that is in communication with the OLSR platform and the link probing tool where the plugin framework is adapted to receive at least one link quality multiplier (LQM) metric computed by the link probing tool and to combine the at least one LQM metric with the OLSR platform's existing link quality (LQ) metric for enhancing route selection by the OLSR platform.
