The proposing team has developed an innovative antenna technology called the “Confetti” antenna that is particularly suited to this application, offering potentially revolutionary performance in antenna efficiency, bandwidth, and compactness. We propose to design and optimize a compact “Confetti” antenna for high-power, directive applications. This antenna will have a volume of only 500 ...

Due to the limitations and power requirements of modern computational hardware and sensors, the central goals of smallness and high-level autonomy (usually associated with higher algorithmic complexity and computational cost) are directly at odds with each other. Current small UAVs often shed weight through the use of limited sensors and rudimentary algorithms, while very high-level autonomy usua ...

Applied Systems Intelligence proposes to design an intelligent control architecture based on our associate system technology to provide a UAV-equipped medic team the ability to autonomously coordinate activities in a combat environment. In Phase I, ASI will document the specific demands on this type of system, design an architecture that includes associate system software for integrated combat int ...

This proposal describes the work performed by the DIME Effects Modeling (DEM) team, composed of Applied Systems Intelligence, Inc. (ASI) and the Center for Advanced Defense Studies (CADS). CADS brings leading technology research and cognitive modeling experience to the partnership while ASI contributes a proven cognitive engine and commercialization channels through their existing contracts. Tog ...

Uncooled focal plane array (FPA) technology has evolved such that high performance is achieved in the long wavelength infrared (LWIR) with small pixel pitch and fast time constant. Small pitch allows high resolution with reduction in optics size and weight. Black Forest Engineering (BFE) has demonstrated 1024x768 a-Si:H FPAs with 20 um pixel pitch, noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) < ...

Colorado Engineering, Inc (CEI) is a small woman owned business with a wealth of engineering expertise in the development of software and hardware systems for DOD combat, weapon and sensor systems. The measuring and mapping of community development in order to adjust tactics, as well insert stimuli to direct future change, is a purely systemic problem. Community development and maximization of a ...

Data Fusion Corporation (DFC) and ITT Industries propose the development of a prototype Combat Identification (CID) system that will reduce fratricide, increase situational awareness (SA), and enhance combat effectiveness for Soldier-to-Soldier based CID applications. The sys¬tem design will use GPS, a modified-mobile adhoc network MANET, local ranging signals, mesh network and geometric pairing ...

Consider a typical Army soldier. He’s young, he probably has not been abroad before entering the military, he has not been to college, and he is serving in very dangerous situations. He also may not have joined the military with the intention of taking on the role of peacekeeper. Yet the cultural skills he needs are crucial to the success of the US military’s missions in foreign environment ...

The proposed planning tool will be designed after an exhaustive review of commercial and military cross-cultural training products, interviews, and literature review. We describe a sound pedagogical approach which includes transition along the cognitive domain, formal phases, and accommodation to varied learner styles.

We propose numerous innovations for training soldiers to decode nonverbal cues. Courseware will teach universal and culture specific nonverbal cues, distance and close range decoding. Video will be used extensively to present relevant, engaging material. Military relevant, game based scenarios will provide practice and assess student performance. Video vignettes of soldiers discussing experien ...
