Small infrared (IR) camera packages are now possible as a result of uncooled sensor performance improvements (sensitivity and time constant) in small pixel pitch (12 µm). Leveraging prior investment in miniaturized uncooled infrared camera cores, and digital readout circuit and electronics design, there is an opportunity to demonstrate a digital output nano-IR camera core with direct application ...

Maxentric’s solution provides multi-level security and information flow control with cell level encryption for existing relational databases. At the tactical edge, access to advanced cloud based services such Apache Accumulo may not be possible. The novel database solution allows these types of services to be deployed in any point of the network, but also to be integrated in already existing app ...

The Department of Defense depends on multiple systems to establish and update position information of our forces on the battlefield. However, the current interfacing capability for position location information (PLI) systems is limited to a select few service providers. By adding flexibility to the RF media interface for these systems, new levels of connectedness and reliability can be achieved, p ...

The need for lightweight vehicles that are able to be quickly and efficiently deployed has been identified in recent years as potential theatres emerge with the evolution of crisis and conflict in the world. . In order to be effective and useful, the gap-crossing/ bridging system for Ultra Lightweight Combat Vehicles must be matched to the vehicle not only in capacity, but also in transportability ...

The objective of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to develop a comprehensive modeling environment for the accurate study of propagation channels and development of communication systems with particular emphasis on the HF/VHF frequency bands. The proposed software will provide accurate solutions based on full-wave modeling of the scene as well as a high degree of computatio ...

Navitas proposes a novel approach to produce high energy, high power lithium batteries. Our innovative approach produces multilayer electrodes with gradient pore structure throughout the thickness of the electrode. Phase I results showed that the graded electrode structure enhanced lithium ion transport. The innovative electrodes were fabricated using water-based coating process. Phase I individua ...

The U.S. Army wishes to use new aluminum alloy components in next generation vehicles to reduce weight and improve ballistic protection performance. While such components can be fabricated, the Army has not adopted their use because adequate welding technology does not exist for repair in the field. The objective of the R&D in this SBIR is to develop a new type of portable welder capable of perfor ...

During Phase I and a first Phase II, Welkin Sciences developed the Channel Realization Generator (CReG) algorithm, an enhanced functional replacement for the ACIRF code intended to be embedded into software link simulations and HWIL fading channel simulators. The proposed second Phase II effort will refine the CReG documentation and its software and firmware implementations. Many in the strategic ...

Combat Lifesavers (CLS) and Combat Medics (68W) are the first responders of the battlefield, and their training and skill maintenance is extremely important to the military. Scenario-based training is limited in how casualties and wounds are presented to trainees, and the amount of hands-on experience that trainees can get in the schoolhouse. Typically wounds are created using simple moulage that ...

The focus of the Innovative Rendering for Simulation Phase II effort is to implement the proof-of-concept Unified Physics-based Rendering System (UPRS) in order to deliver new capabilities to the modeling and simulation community. UPRS will provide the government with a tailored HW and SW solution optimized for the specific simulation rendering needs. UPRS will be delivered as a Government Open So ...
