Military and intelligence operations are gathering imagery from a variety of sources including ground-based sensors, aerial platforms, and satellites at rates far exceeding our ability to analyze or even transmit and archive this data. This imagery comprises not only still images but increasingly full-motion video (FMV); high-definition (HD), wide-area imagery (WAMI), and other high-resolution for ...

This effort will provide automated GPS outage and degradation characterization (e.g., environment or man-made) tools based upon GPS satellite to site Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) data, Communication/Navigation Outage Forecasting System (C/NOFS) scintillation cloud predictions, and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) event tracks. Then detect and track relationships of t ...

ABSTRACT:Braxtons primary goal is to integrate and test advanced space asset command, control, and communications (C3) assets so that the current low bandwidth, high cost USAF systems can use high bandwidth, high reliability, low cost, automated commercial communications assets and system resource planning methods.Braxton will leverage 20 years of tracking, telemetry and commanding (TT&C), mission ...

In Phase I Ceebus demonstrated the feasibility of an underwater, acoustic, direct-sequence spread-spectrum communication architecture, including actual data transfers and decoded message recovery. All of the communication algorithms were post-processed and communication was performed with a single piezo transducer. Prototype development is the next step in delivering a system that offers real-time ...

ABSTRACT:This SBIR proposal covers the preliminary design and initial hardware and software in-the-loop testing of the GOLauncher 1, a single stage liquid air launched rocket system, for utilization in future hypersonic flight testing efforts. Major objectives include completing prelimianry design of the system based on requirements defined during Phase I, further validation of cost and schedule e ...

The current U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) is comprised of a range of components, the integration of which is the responsibility of the Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) system. In the current architecture, track data from Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) systems and ground-based radar systems are processed separately. However, ongoing work is devel ...

Program Executive Office Submarines (PEO SUB) requires initiatives that help it achieve its Virginia Class platform cost reduction objectives as well as contributing innovative technologies to the Submarine Based Strategic Deterrent (SBSD) development and legacy classes (SSGN). To this end, PEO SUB requires technology initiatives that contribute to the goal of controlling multiple sensors using a ...

The Submarine Reliability Management System (SRMS) is a tool integrated into the TI14/APB13 increment of the AN/BYG-1 submarine combat system. SRMS monitors the host system for faults and degradations using datamining techniques, based on signatures defined in an extensible, Navy-managed set of XML-based Issue Definition File (IDF). This Phase II.5 effort will mature and extend SRMS to improve the ...

The proposed Phase II SBIR will design, analyze, produce and test a protoflight unit for a Low Cost De-orbiting System. The proposed de-orbit module is a high reliability, modular, aero-blanket system that de-orbits a 180 kg spacecraft from an 800 km orbit to meet DOD Instruction 3100.12 for a 25 year de-orbit time. The de-orbit system uses common space flight qualified mechanical elements and m ...

OptTek proposes to create a new methodology and tool set, “OptDef,” to provide MDA a capability to optimize Ballistic Missile Defense systems—a capability that will enable MDA to answer credibly not only “what if?”, but also “what’s best?” and “why this and not that?” OptDef will build on proven OptTek-proprietary technologies in simulation optimization that will leverage MD ...
