We propose maturation and extension of an innovative batch algorithm for track scene history reconstruction, and track refinement conditioned on this history, given input source track data from one or more sensors. The envisioned method is designed to process both kinematic data (e.g., track reports) and feature/discrimination data (e.g., useful to distinguish objects seen by multiple sensors to s ...

A simulation optimization tool can exploit existing BMDS simulation models to streamline the scenario generation analysis process. Our Phase II project will focus on using a simulation optimization approach to solve the problem of generating a minimal collection of test scenarios, using the minimum number of shared scenario components that meets a required set of test objectives. Each individual s ...

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to

Currently, deployed medics are required to transport, maintain and be resupplied with liquid-based medications and materials that are heavy, expensive to transport, perishable and may require refrigeration. Many medications and materials are or will soon

Hypervelocity projectiles (HVPs) offer the potential for highly effective and low-cost point defense against missile threats. Classical guidance schemes are ill-suited to the unpowered dynamics of the HVP, as they fail to account for its changing capabilities and limited energy budget over the course of the fly-out. Numerica’s solution consists of an automated real-time fly-out trajectory optimi ...

This Second Phase II effort will leverage the existing Standard Space Trainer (SST) Phase III SBIR state-of-the-art research platform to leverage its inherent capabilities as the software engine to support this research effort. SST has a collection of software that provides development support and a common runtime environment for the use of mission specific plug-ins. This reusable SST Architecture ...

This proposed SBIR Phase II effort continues the development of rugged MEMS inertial measurement units (IMUs) for operation in high shock and vibration operation environment of missiles, and other military and commercial platforms with harsh environment characteristics. The primary outcome of the proposed effort is a 6-axis highly-reliable and durable tactical-grade MEMS IMU with inclusion of vibr ...

Veterans with amputations are relatively common as a result of war and peace keeping efforts. The civilian amputee population is also steadily growing as a result of vascular disease. For many years, there has been an emphasis on the development of prosth

New generation electric lasers offer the potential of a compact, lightweight deployable directed energy weapon with projected power levels into the megawatt range. These systems require power generation sources that can near-instantaneously deliver high levels of clean, stable power to the HEL load without disturbing the weapon platform stability or environment. This Proposed Phase II program adva ...

he Storable Clean Ethane-ethylene Nitrous Engine (SCENE) is a proposed technology designed to provide upper stages and spacecraft with non-toxic, liquid, non-cryogenic, high-performance propulsion with an Isp on the order of 300 seconds. The propellant components are stored as liquids under their saturated vapor pressures. With the SCENE, nitrous oxide is used as an autogenously pressurized oxidiz ...
