The objective of the proposed research and development work is to create non-lethal munitions that generate high-power microwave (HPM) pulses to defeat the electronics used to activate Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) or to attack blasting caps to pre-detonate IEDs. To provide the best Phase I results we plan to develop HPM munitions (which we call HPM grenades whether they are hand-emplace, th ...

Metronome and Raytheon propose the development of our Stratus Guardian System (SGS) technology in support of the Governments critical need for new innovative solutions to protect applications and data pushed to the cloud computing environment by authorized entities from being exploited or captured by adversaries present in the cloud. SGS incorporates the following innovative software-based feature ...

Clinical monitoring of mental health status has not evolved much from the routine meeting between patient and clinician, which suffers from a lack of quantification, irregular and anecdotal reporting, and does not necessarily include input from caregivers. This is unfortunate given today's technology, where people routinely volunteer to track their own health related behavior, such as exerc ...

Army doctrine calls for pushing decision-making to lower echelons where possible. Improving technology will allow small combat units to access and exploit battlefield systems. Yet at company and below, units lack staff that can master such systems and maintain expertise through full-time use. Thus future systems must be designed to support occasional users: systems must become easier to use and ...

To address the U.S. Army's need for high-bandwidth, compact, wireless, millimeter-wave intra-missile datalink, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a novel, Highly Adaptive Millimeter WavE (HAMWE) transceiver system that can communicate data rates over 2 Gbps in crowded multipath intra-missile environment. This short-range communication system, built on a unique integration o ...

To address the Army need for advanced data stream disassembly and reassembly solutions, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Scalable Parallelized LInk data Transmission Through Embedded Referencing (SPLITTER) technology. SPLITTER consists of two hardware elements: a satellite side data disassembler and a ground-station-based reassembler. It is based on advanced self referen ...

Tactical networks are critical to soldiers'ability to communicate and access applications. The configuration and operation of network devices needs to be simple, fast, and reliable. The emerging NETCONF standard protocol can be optimized to meet the special needs of tactical networks. The goal of this research is to identify the specific gaps in the NETCONF protocol and architecture ...

Toyon Research Corporation proposes to develop a portable tool for deployment planning, real-time monitoring, and maintenance of tactical wireless ground sensor networks. The tool will consist of a tablet (iPad, Android, or Windows) application and a desktop/cloud web service application. The tablet app will be used by the warfighter for planning, display, plan modification, sensor monitoring, a ...

To address the Army's need for an amplifier linearization module, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Predistortion-based Amplifier Linearization Module (PALM). It is based on a POC developed nonlinearity compensation methodology, with additional innovation in the system design that allows PALM to automatically adjust to changes in the nonlinear response of the amplifi ...

Adaptive Dynamics, Inc. (ADI) has developed the MAGIC(TM) (Multiple Adaptive Generalized Interference Cancellation) Filter, a revolutionary interference mitigation technology that offers these specific advantages for both in band signal separation and out of band signal rejection: * It has demonstrated successful mitigation of multiple interference types (continuous wave (CW), swept tone, random ...
