Abstract: A method of assessing the effectiveness of an electronic countermeasure (ECM) applied against an unknown, ambiguous, or unresponsive radar threat includes monitoring changes in a radar-associated factor while applying the ECM and determining if the ECM is disrupting the hostile radar. The radar-associated factor can be a weapon that is controlled by the radar threat, and assessing the ECM can include determining whether the weapon is misdirected due to applying the ECM. Or the radar-associated factor can be a feature of an RF waveform emitted by the radar threat, and assessing the ECM can include determining if the feature is changed due to applying the ECM. Continuous changes in the feature can indicate unsuccessful attempts to mitigate the ECM. Return of the feature to a pre-threat state can indicate disruption of the radar. The ECM can be selected from a library of countermeasures pre-verified as effective against known threats.

Abstract: A replacement fin for an underwater vehicle includes a fin defining a socket that includes a bore of a first diameter and an internal spring recess of a larger diameter. A coil spring is retained in the spring recess and has coils of an elongated coil shape. The coil spring can occupy a first canted position in which the coils are canted in a direction generally into the bore and the coils can occupy a second canted position in which the coils are canted in a direction generally out of the bore. The UUV has a post that can include at least one circumferential recess configured to engage the coil spring, and which can function as a lock in some canted orientations of the spring. Alternately, the socket is defined in the UUV and the fin includes a post sized to be received in the socket.

Abstract: A filter assembly of an optical system. The filter assembly may include a first spool, a second spool, and a film filter that operably engages with the first spool and the second spool and the film filter having at least two filters that are different from one another. The filter assembly may also include a drive assembly that operably engages with one of the first spool, the second spool, and the film filter for moving at least one filter of the at least two filters into optical alignment with a focal plane sensor of the optical system. The film filter of the filter assembly may also be made from a flexible material that bends when wound about the first spool and the second spool.

Abstract: A lightweight thermally dissipative EMI shield for electronics is composed of both metallic (e.g., conductive) and non-metallic (e.g., nonconductive) materials. The thermally dissipative EMI shield or cover may be formed of multiple layers of metallic or conductive materials and at least one layer of non-metallic or nonconductive material. There may be a conductive base layer, a lower intermediate nonconductive layer, an upper intermediate conductive layer, and an outer nonconductive layer. The conductive layers operate to thermally dissipate heat and suppress EMI, whereas the nonconductive layers provide lightweight rigidity and stiffness to support the EMI shield and protect components from foreign object ingress or damage of a circuit card or cover is coupled.

Abstract: An extensible open data framework asynchronously processes augments received in response to alterations in registered triggers. The framework includes an active data storage and an algorithm execution protocol. The active data storage includes short term data signals and long term data augments or emitter tracks. The execution protocol includes an execution thread pool having multiple threads that operate in parallel. The parallelization of the algorithm via the execution thread pool scales through multiple threads and cores to process data.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a structurally competent, EMI-shielded IR window includes using a mathematical model that combines the Sotoodeh and Nag models to determine an optimal thickness and dopant concentration of a doped layer of GaAs or GaP. A slab of GaAs or GaP is prepared, and a doped layer of the same material having the optimal thickness and dopant concentration is applied thereto. In embodiments, the doped layer is applied by an HVPE method such as LP-HVPE, which can also provide enhanced GaAs transparency near 1 micron. The Drude model can be applied to assist in selecting an anti-reflective coating. If the model predicts that the requirements of an application cannot be met by a doped layer alone, a doped layer can be applied that exceeds the required IR transparency, and a metallic grid can be applied to improve the EMI shielding, thereby satisfying the requirements.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for jammer detection. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes estimating an angle of arrival of a jamming signal, the jamming signal included in a received signal, and generating a direction finding (DF) confidence indicator associated with the estimated angle of arrival. The method also includes extracting the jamming signal from the received signal. The method further includes correlating the extracted jamming signal with previously extracted jamming signals to generate a correlation score and using the correlation score as a uniqueness assessment of the extracted jamming signal. The method further includes identifying characteristics of the extracted jamming signal and generating a characterization confidence indicator. The method further includes demoting the extracted jamming signal to non-jammer status based on one or more of the DF confidence indicator, the uniqueness assessment, and the characterization confidence indicator.
