At present, there is no certified/accredited Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)-based solution for cross-domain voice and video that can support more than two domains.The desired IOC end state for the new MDAVS technology is a fundamentally new architecture that supports more than two simultaneous domains and can manage much larger numbers of concurrent calls while supporting high definition vide ...

In this effort, nGimat will develop the capabilities to produce high-quality optical ceramic nanopowder for DoD applications such as laser and missile weapons and defense systems.Development of such capabilities will require improvements in current man...

OCCAM is software for Tactical Information Management. It is designed to enable the most relevant information to be identified and transmitted to units at the tactical edge.

Signature management technology such as camouflage coatings on military tactical vehicles significantly reduces detection by enemy combatants. Black tires and tracks, however, are in direct contrast to the vehicle and surroundings and constitute a large portion of the vehicle profile. To satisfy this need in Phase I Luna developed a durable, color-matching coating that can be simply applied to tir ...

ABSTRACT: The goal of the Phase II work is to significantly advance the maturity of the IMPULSE system through the detail design, development, and comprehensive bench testing of its power and propulsion systems. The Phase I conceptual design showed that the system was able to meet the desired performance requirements for a Group 2 SUAS. This work will expand upon this Phase I design, while maintai ...

ABSTRACT: The Numericus Group, LLC has demonstrated during Phase I that our new approach to digital filtering vastly outperforms existing algorithms. At the heart of this new approach are algorithms that are guaranteed to converge and do not require an expert to oversee their operation, unlike many existing algorithms commonly used today. The new approach allows us to automatically design robust, ...

ABSTRACT: DZYNE Technologies, Inc., proposes a Phase II SBIR effort to continue development of MONARCH, a Mobile Onboard Nexus for Autonomy and Radical Computation Handling. MONARCH shall provide an elastic, embedded computing capability for hosting operationally-relevant classes of software applications onboard manned and unmanned systems through the interoperation of distributed, networked compu ...

ABSTRACT: The useful life of medium caliber gun barrels is dominated by fatigue cracking initiated early in the weapons’ deployment. Fatigue cracks worsen in severity throughout the life of the barrel until they reach a critical size, indicating end of life. During the Phase I effort, Luna demonstrated that eddy current (EC) techniques are effective in detecting both machined and fatigue-induced ...

ABSTRACT:Echo Ridge and subcontractor Rockwell Collins propose to build and test handheld prototypes of the Augmented Positioning System (APS) using previously developed components. APS will use highly abundant and globally available RF signals of opportunity (SoOPs) to provide error-growth-constrained position in GPS-challenged environments. APS employs an SDR architecture which allows it to use ...

The JRM team (JRM Technologies and Optical Sciences Corporation) proposes to develop a Dynamic Virtual Infrared Training System (DVIRTS), leveraging the teams unique expertise in real-time IR scene projection systems, dynamic 3D thermal target modeling, and physics-based vehicle and ordnance special effects simulation. The JRM Team will design and prototype an optimal IR scene projection system, i ...
