Development of a pc-based flight instruction tutoring system will improve the most basic capabilities of air force flight personnel, standardize initial training of the basic concepts of flight, provide a foundation for the advancement of modern training methods, and allow innovations addressing… More

Analysis and development of a parallel phigs primitive capability is possible using available parallel architectures and software tools. evaluation of the phigs primitives, identification of possible methods of implementation using parallel architectures, selection of a phase i approach, theoretical… More

Development of a system architecture targeted specifically for head mounted displays and a personal synthetic environment (virtual world) interface is proposed. this new architecture will eliminate many of the traditional problems associated with hmds. phase 1 will include, as proof-of-principle,… More

Design and development of a semi-automated flight evaluation system (s afes) is proposed. this will involve the integration of custom software, a microcomputer, software utilized by the usaf in learning abilities measurement, and precision aircraft instrumentation. safes will improve flight training… More

The technologies of Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) are becoming a cornerstone of military operations and research. Examples include DIS based training programs such as the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) and emerging R&D environments such as the Battlefield Distributed Simulation… More

The need for a reconfigurable, affordable, DIS compatible Combat Vehicle Simulator is immediate. The training needs of the Army Reserve and National C3uard (ARNG) are unique, ARNG personnel operate actual equipment infrequently and therefore have little opportunity to maintain proficiency in basic… More

The application of industrial lasers in producing structuralshapes for shipbuilding will create enormous savings (in excessof $1M per Destroyer), plus result in a higher quality productthan produced by present methods. This is because componentsfabricated from plate steel are inherently more… More

his STTR Phase II project will result in the creation of an advanced network capability to enable ad-hoc networks to operate in a low bandwidth undersea environment. The specific application of the resultant capability will be to support Autonomous Undersea Systems Networks (AUSNET), which are… More

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase 1 project will initiate creation of a capability termed Spider Explorer Data Visualization. This project will explore new means for organizing, exploring, and visualizing large data sets by incorporating into a fundamental presentation format, the spider… More

The Naval Autonomous Surface Threat Identification system will leverage Augmented Reality technology, advanced sensors and automated threat detection to enable superior surface threat detection aboard the Littoral Combatant Ship. Camera systems will be enhanced with magnification and non-visual… More

TSI proposes to develop a mission planner that will be adaptable to AUVs currently planned to be integrated into the fleet over the next 3 years, be able to receive environmental data from Navy libraries (such as DIOPS), and optimize AUV missions as a result of the environmental data received. The… More

The Modular Mission Planning Toolkit (MMPT) will support multiple autonomous undersea vehicles (AUVs), multiple environmental databases, and multiple warfare scenarios. The toolkit provides a plug-in modular framework to facilitate the creation of planning mission scenarios and will be able to… More

The ability to track small vessels is critical to national security, but not easily accomplished due to the sheer volume of craft and the range of environments which they operate within. The introduction of smart-phones with location, orientation, camera, and Internet capabilities is… More
