In Phase I, Phase IV proposes to develop the overall architecture and design of a prototype RF system for shipping containers that will operate in the marine environment while being loaded stacked aboard ship, on board deck of a ship in a stack, unloaded, and moved and stacked in shipping terminals. Phase IV has developed a state-of-the-art RF system for tracking and monitoring munitions, both at ...

First Responders face critical life and death issues in dangerous environments. Efficient radio communications is essential in the success of their mission, but high background noise can degrade radio efficiency and intelligibility. This proposal presents a novel approach to mitigate noise, improve VOX efficiency, permit hands free operation, and improve voice intelligibility. It is based on the p ...

The recent wave of mass casualties plaguing the public safety community showed that the incident commander s situational awareness of the first responders can be quickly and easily overwhelmed. At emergency scenes, with the overburdened first responders and unreliable communication infrastructure, the lack of accurate and timely information creates an organizational nightmare for incident commande ...

The goal of this proposed research is to determine the feasibility of developing and commercializing an innovative, low cost, high performance small boat tracking and collision avoidance device. Small boats are defined as being floating craft that fall into the category of port vessels, leisure, un-powered and small fishing craft. The device would be compatible with the Automatic Identification Sy ...

We propose to develop a novel reagent for nucleic acid isolation. If successfully developed, this reagent will be appropriate for use in nucleic acids isolation from a variety of sample types, including environmental samples. The most advantageous characteristic of this reagent is its specific binding to nucleic acids as opposed to adsorption to solid phase, which is currently used for nucleic aci ...

Intelligent Automation, Inc. (IAI) proposes a novel peak detection and data fusion methodology for multidimensional chemical analysis. The proposed peak detection technique is based on Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT). Its distinction from other peak detection methods is that it does not require any baseline removal or smoothing algorithms and is robust to noise. It can differentiate the signal ...

For the past 10 years, Robotic Research, LLC has worked with the Special Forces community to meet these requirements, and to deploy the resulting systems: WarLoc and Mole. The US government has invested in excess of $10 million to develop such capabilities. Over the years, Robotic Research has also leveraged this technology to match the different mission needs of the Army (e.g. the 2nd Infantry D ...
