  Deep learning characterization of classical music with potential applications to the general fields of signal detection and classification

  Develop deep learning models that can characterize Indian classical music ragas (analogous to western scales) . These models can then be applied to signals in multiple disciplines for characterization and analysis. The structure inherent in ragas helps give scientific rigor to the model development process.

  Rapid Multiple Counter Sensor - Counter s-UAS Technology

  Laser Storm is a patented, scalable, wide-area coverage laser-emitting device that can "Target and Blind" multiple UAvs at once. Designed to overwhelm multiple sensors by combining different wavelengths effective against different sensors, and splitting each laser into hundreds to project a “shower” of multiple-wavelength laser beams.

  Nuclear Deterrence: Boost Phase Missile Interception with Superconductors in Space

  We can intercept ballistic and hypersonic missiles in Boost-Phase, the ¨Holy Grail¨ of missile defense, from space using superconductors with our Dipole Coilgun in LEO orbit. Our innovation overcomes railgun heat issues and early coilgun electric switching problems. Space is cold (3°K) enough with available sunshields for superconductivity (≈20°K).
