Bridger Photonics proposes developing an optical metrology probe with a wavelength greater than 2 microns capable of transmitting through key infrared materials, achieving

Bridger Photonics proposes developing a disruptive metrology probe capable of achieving 1 kHz update rates and measurement ranges exceeding 10 cm. This probe will be coupled with OptiPro Systems' 5-axis air-bearing UltraSurf stage to provide optical figure and transmitted wavefront error of large aspheric optics including conformal windows, aerodynamic domes, and corrector optics.

We propose CADET (Cognitive Assessment During Evaluation and Testing), a flexible and minimally intru-sive machine learning enabled software sensor that classifies environmental, human behavior, and physiolog-ical features to measure and predict near real time workload (WL) and performance. We will combine SIFT's prior WL research in zero-intrusion techniques in linguistics, keyboard dynamics and ...

Future DoD and Navy missions require advances in current high voltage power electronics technology as existing technology and even recent promising advances in Silicon Carbide and Gallium Nitride based materials lack fundamental material properties to deliver switching capabilities needed for future high power converter applications, advanced radar and propulsion systems. Much interest has been re ...

This project team will develop and test a prototype app of a screening assessment for children who are Spanish-English Dual Language Learners (SE-DLL) in early education. The prototype will provide formative assessment reports to teachers to guide their decision-making, and will include a series of videos to increase knowledge on core competencies of supporting SE-DLL children. At the end of Phase ...

Despite gains in component cohesion due to FACEs data-modeling standard and approach, integration of UoPs still presents a significant challenge for system integrators. The UoP data models required by FACE are necessary but not sufficient; FACE does not currently provide mechanisms to describe behavioral aspects of communication such as sampling rates, messaging patterns, latency requirements, and ...

S-FAN initiative provides the Navy with data routing, switching, optimization, security, and monitoring in a low-SWaP, single-box package that is compatible with existing aircraft data links and targeted for insertion into Navy aircraft. The goal of the Phase II SBIR effort is to develop S-FAN as a ruggedized single-box appliance that can be tested on the Navy's E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and carrier-b ...

Effective Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Command and Control (C2) have long been a high priority need for the Navy and Department of Defense (DoD). Communication is essential for enabling UAV applications. A major challenge in the rapidly growing UAV secure command, control, and communications area is ensuring the transmission of critical information in Anti-Access Area-Denial (A2AD) bandwidth-limi ...

The proposed technology: GROK (Generating Reports On Knowledge) combines existing open source research tools to automatically generate reports from a dynamically changing set of documents. GROK presents the generated reports with a novel, uncluttered interface designed to save the analyst time in consuming the knowledge in the report, and finding the next piece of knowledge they need. The approach ...

Kinetic Resolve, Inc. (KR; Stillwater, MN), a service disabled veteran-owned small business, and The Protective Group (TPG; Miami Lakes, FL), a developer of lightweight armor solutions for the Department of Defense, have agreed to work together by forming Kinetic Protection (KP), a limited partnership, to rapidly develop and integrate a system of lightweight, reconfigurable and non-reconfigurable ...
