Phase I effort will develop an innovative Exploitation of Discrete GPS interference for Enhanced navigation (EDGE) technology. EDGE uses existing antenna configurations and RF front-ends on a missile platform (or similar platforms) to detect and locate GPS interferers (jammers and spoofers). Localized interference sources are then exploited for navigation, targeting, and guidance. Common approache ...

Tactical situation awareness (SA) is critical for ensuring the Warfighters situational dominance, especially during combat. SA can improve security, survivability and optimize lethality. The object of this SBIR is to develop a dual-mode transducer (B-Tac) that provides both bone conduction (BC) sound transmission and vibrotactile cues. The merit of each technology alone has been shown to enhance p ...

Smart On-Board Device for Detection of Static Sign Codes and Other Roadway Entities 3/20/2018 Connected automated vehicle (CAV) technology offers great benefits to vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) safety through information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure. The availability of ICT is limited in the rural areas of the country. To mitigate this problem, SBC proposes a method for m ...

In prior research and development, the developers created Tyto Online, an online multiplayer sandbox game where middle school students engage in quests to apply life science learning. This project will extend the game by developing a prototype for the Earth and Space science domain, with a prototype including quests for the Climate and Weather topic aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NG ...

Florida Turbine Technologies (FTT) is seeking affordable turbo-generator technology combinations that improve Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) without compromising the reliability, noise, and power-to-weight advantages inherent to turbo-machinery.Recuperation offers 30%-50% reduction in SFC; however, three basic challenge areas of weight, durability, and cost have prevented widespread adoption in p ...

The primary objective of this proposal is to develop a human-readable liquid ticket to improve detection of CWAs and other threat agents; and evaluate its sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility to develop a new detection method that compares favorably against the existing M8/M9 paper. iSense has successfully demonstrated capability in developing customized indicator arrays for detection of T ...

Attempts to reuse modern graphical software applications are met with difficulty because avionics applications are typically developed with a specific platform in mind; in these instances, portability is an afterthought. This proposal provides a solution for prioritizing and maximizing the reuse of graphical avionics systems by detailing an innovative software development process and reference arc ...

Demonstrate the feasibility of leveraging open standards commercially available technologies to develop hardware and waveform for the Next-Generation Encrypted Aircraft Wireless Intercom System (NG-EAWIS). A trade study will be performed between 802.11n (MIMO) and LTE to determine which waveform will meet performance specification in a high EMI environment. The proposed solution is a low risk appr ...

Our Intelligent Cyber Adversaries Tool Suite (ICATS) system-of-systems builds upon existing work integrating cyber effects into Live, Virtual, Constructive, and Gaming (LVC&G) training systems and leverages other existing systems in the cyber domain. We leverage several in-work technologies to bring together complementary tools and achieve rapid progress. We research use of an existing framework t ...

The goal of this proposal is to develop a WBG based motor drive that can interface with military 600 Vdc power systems, provide 18 kW of output power, and have full power capability with ambient air temperatures of 71 °C and liquid coolant temperatures of 105 °C. Building upon an existing 105 °C coolant SiC based motor drive, Mainstream Engineering proposes a revised SiC based motor drive that ...
