“Red Team, Chiplet IP Protection and Countermeasures for State-of-the-Art Heterogeneous Integrated Packaging (SHIP) Prototype Project” is a three-year, $699,895 subcontract to the larger SHIP project.

Descriptions

This five-year, $743,806 National Science Foundation collaborative research award is titled, Discovery, Analysis, and Disruption of Illicit Narcotic Supply Networks.

Descriptions

This March 2018–September 2019 project studied the dynamics and statistical characteristics of brain activity based on measurement data from magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencelphalography (EEG). One potential application of the research would be to monitor pilots in simulation training, and perhaps ultimately in actual combat or reconnaissance flights.
