The use of UAVs has increased exponentially since 1995, and this growth is expected to continue. Many of these applications require extensive Research and Development; however, the need to fund development of the UAV often competes with funding intended for the end-user application. Therefore, off… More

The National Transportation Safety Board's accident database reveals that up to 40% of all commercial aviation fatalities are due to loss of control. The military is acquiring commercial-derivative aircraft for certain missions, and will fly these aircraft more aggressively, increasing the… More

The Multiplex Data Bus Controllers, Translator, and Transmitter (MDBCTT) provides open access to aircraft 1553 multiplex bus data via open-architecture standards such as High Level Architecture (HLA) and the Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA), among others. The technology to inject 1553… More

The use of UAS's in the military and the commercial field has grown tremendously over the last few years and is set to explode over next several. An open-architecture avionics system that utilizes standard communication interfaces and allows for rapid reconfiguration would be an attractive addition… More

The objective of CTSi"s specific SBIR proposal is to demonstrate that the aerodynamic database for a full-scale transport-category aircraft in upset conditions can be reliably derived from flight tests of an autonomous scale model. The process for extracting the needed aerodynamic database will… More

Hostile conflicts leave behind millions of armed landmines in developing countries throughout the globe. Humanitarian demining is hazardous and labor intensive. A promising development in landmine detection is using small, olfactory sensitive animals trained to act as biosensor detectors. But… More

The Navy Mudbucket Phase II CPP will accelerate the transition of the innovative embedded-signal-manipulation technology developed under Army SBIR A06-086 to a flight-capable and autonomous-control-enabling product for NAVAIR. Building on the proven MIL-STD-1553 transparent overdrive technology and… More

ABSTRACT: Identifying the presence of endangered and threatened species is crucial to complying with Environmental Protection Agency regulations. Each year military reservations spend large amounts of resources in time, materials, and manpower in identifying if endangered or threatened species… More
