Highlights

CASPER

This collaborative research effort, dubbed Coupled Air-Sea Processes and EM Ducting Research (CASPER) addresses overarching knowledge gaps related to electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation in coastal Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layers (MABL). The objective is to fully characterize the MABL as an EM propagation environment.

Hybrid schemes for exact conditional inference in discrete exponential families

Exact conditional goodness-of-fit tests for discrete exponential family models can be conducted via Monte Carlo estimation of p values by sampling from the conditional distribution of multiway contingency tables. The proposed method runs many parallel chains initialized at SIS samples across the fiber. The scheme alleviates many of the challenges faced by the MCMC and SIS schemes individually while largely retaining their strengths. It also provides diagnostics that guide and lend credibility to the procedure. Simulations demonstrate the viability of the approach.

null Understanding Development Test and Evaluation (DT&E) Implications for Cyber

Prof. John Gibson

The pervasiveness of cyber operations across all defense activities underscores the need to consider and plan for cyber-related developmental test and evaluation initiatives throughout the development life of acquisitions programs. However, the implications and processes associated with cyber developmental test and evaluation (DT&E) are less well known than traditional system test activities. This effort seeks to explore the implications of cyber DT&E with respect to Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Command, Control Communications, Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) systems. Central to this study will be a review of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Developmental Test and Evaluation [DASO (DT&E)] guidelines as they impact cyber considerations, particularly in the area of test capabilities and facilities. Results of prior cyber test initiatives will be used to baseline capabilities and identify requirements for cyber range and facility support for cyber DT &E activities.
