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 ...

Crisis decision-making is difficult and error-prone because it involves time-urgency, physical and emotional stress, chaotic conditions, and poor data availability/quality. This SBIR project will investigate, develop, and deploy a web-based software system (called PolARES) that supports key decisions for crisis management and battlefield applications. This system will produce a revolutionary impr ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Diagnosis and medical management of HIV-infected individuals is significantly enhanced if one can simultaneously define the subset of the most common co-infections for which patients are at risk. Unfortunately, running such a series of parallel diagnostic tests is cost prohibitive, particularly in low-resource settings. Precision Photonics Corporation proposes ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of this project is to develop a tumor-targeted TCR-IL2 fusion protein, ALT-801, as an immunotherapeutic for treatment of p53-positive cancers. The TCR portion of this fusion protein is specific for a peptide derived from the tumor-associated protein p53 presented in the context of HLA- A2.1. This high-affinity TCR is designed to guide th ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The threat of terrorist attacks using biological weapons continues to be a major national security issue. A new congressional report (www.preventwmd.gov, Dec 3, 2008) indicates that a terrorist attack with bioweapons or other weapons of mass destruction might occur before 2013. Plague and smallpox could be devastating bioweapons if intentionally released. A rel ...

Due to recent technological advancements there is a need for a family of flexible, optically transparent conducting films. Eclipse Energy Systems (Eclipse) has developed a proprietary visually transparent electrical conductor (88% transmission at 550 nm,

Increased capability in natural environment data capture (such as LIDAR) is combining with expanding military requirements for embedded training and automated vehicles to dramatically increase the need for much higher resolution terrain representations and services. Previously, the most complex synthetic natural environment (SNE) representations were focused on correlation with a visual represent ...
