Commercialization of a very high definition (HD) (>2.3 megapixel) color Active Matrix OLED microdisplay has the potential to significantly increase warfighter effectiveness without compromises in resolution, field of view and digital capability. Warfighters require high performance virtual displays that provide 20/20 visual acuity with high information content, suitable for today"s/future network ...

ABSTRACT: In phase I of this program, we proposed to develop and validate detailed designs for highly scaled silicon photonic-electronic chips for applications relevant to the DOD in high-bandwidth data communication. This effort has been closely coordinated with the OPSIS (Optoelectronic Systems Integration in Silicon) project being led at the University of Washington, an effort to create an ope ...

ABSTRACT: As we move from a paper-based world into a digital environment, the internet will soon evolve from a virtual documentation system into a vibrant ecosystem of data where documents and human actors play an even smaller role. We are currently reaching a tipping point in history concerning data: more data is being manufactured by machines, servers, mobile devices, and software applications ...

ABSTRACT: The Leadership Agreement signatures on this Commercialization Readiness Program (CRP) project Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Technology Transition Plan (STTP 2011-51) formalize an agreement to develop the technology maturation and transition strategies, and pending funding and direction, plan and prepare the transition strategy described. High cycle temperature requirement ...

ABSTRACT: We have designed a system we call the Human Terminal System - a wrist-or-chest wearable system to provide organic battlespace visualization capability to pilots and other warfighters. The system is a powerful, miniaturized, man-wearable, multi-processor PC running Windows and Android in support of both legacy PC and smartphone software. It supports numerous displays from 3.5 to 7 inch, ...

ABSTRACT: This Phase II proposal seeks to develop a prototype speech segregation system that can significantly improve intelligibility of noisy speech for human listeners, a technical challenge that has eluded a solution for decades. Motivated by principles of auditory perception, system development is based on an auditory scene analysis approach to speech segregation. This approach differs subst ...

ABSTRACT: A Hybrid Structure Evaluation and Fatigue Damage Assessment (HYSEFDA) toolkit for Abaqus will be developed for advanced hybrid structures under multi-axial and variable amplitude cyclic loading. The tool will be able to characterize arbitrary geometric configurations of fiber metal laminates with the coexistence of multiple metal ply and delamination cracks. High computational efficienc ...

ABSTRACT: Coordinate Registration (CR) of OTHR targets requires accurate real-time ionospheric modeling coupled with HF propagation calculations to convert radar-measured target signal delays and beam steers to geographical position. Our team is the developer of the most sophisticated CR capability currently in existence, CREDO (Coordinate Registration Enhancement by Dynamic Optimization). CRED ...

Orora Design Technologies, Inc. proposes to develop an innovative computer-aided design (CAD) based methodology and enabling tools for rapid radiation-hardened prototyping and migration of military satellite microelectronics. A key innovative tool to be explored is automated generation and validation of behavioral models for complex analog, digital and mixed-signal circuits, including radiation e ...

The goal of this research is to develop electronic design automation (EDA) tools to automate the following three major radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) tasks: (1) The capture of RHBD design constraints and design rules for sub-90nm mixed-signal designs in an industry-standard EDA data base, (2) Checking and verifying if a given sub-90nm mixed-signal design satisfies all the RBHD design const ...
