The purpose of the present effort is to provide a capability to the Joint Standard Instrumentation Suite (JSIS) for the characterization of ultraviolet atmospheric scattering in order to better determine the impact of atmospheric absorption/scattering on missile signatures.A working prototype of the Characterization of Off-axis Direct and Ultraviolet Scatter (CODUS) instrument will be built and de ...

The goal of the project is to develop a handheld instrument that detects, identifies, and categorizes radioactive sources based on gamma, thermal-, and fast-neutron signatures. Existing radioisotope identification devices (RIIDs) are typically biased toward gamma spectroscopy; some instruments may use an additional inefficient neutron counter in form of a He-3 tube. The recent development of mat ...

The proposed Phase II.5 ViPER USMC large mission planning mission planning expansion effort seeks to add capabilities to ViPER-CVW that will provide an initial large force air planning capability to USMC aviation planners. Development will focus on providing route and airspace deconfliction tools which link airspace, flight routing, and planned aircraft movements, as well as automated checks to en ...

Triton Systems is working to expand the materials available for additive manufacturing. We will address shipboard FST concerns by incorporating unique flame retardants into the feedstock of standard additive manufacturing tools. We propose to reformulate polymeric materials to meet the FST requirements, while ensuring that the resultant polymers meet the physical/mechanical requirements for applic ...

BlueRISC’s proposed solution provides a generic binary-level toolkit for inserting new functionality into embedded system executables/firmware. It performs this without making any assumptions as to the level of information (i.e. symbolic information) contained in the binary image. The solution will take the form of a toolkit with automated support for binary image disambiguation, code reverse en ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project extends to industry stakeholders holding financial interests that are impacted by climate change. Climate change has a scientifically evident impact on the intensity, duration, and frequency of extreme weather events. It has become imperative for organizations in all sectors to gain a clear u ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project will be in promoting clean energy technologies. More than half of the United States? greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation and electricity production. Lithium-ion batteries are a promising technology to facilitate the adoption of electric vehicles and renewable power generation that drastically reduce greenhouse gas emission. Howe ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is its capability to create a positive impact on current and future wireless systems. Multifunctional reconfigurable antenna (MRA) technology targeted in this project enables a single antenna element to dynamically change its frequency band, radiation pattern and polarization properties, which directly impact the radio-frequency (RF) coverage ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is aimed to develop and commercialize an extendable/retractable telescopic structural wall for flood protection. This technology will enable more resilient infrastructure in flood-prone areas. Coastal cities and riverine communities are vulnerable to flooding hazards. These population centers tend to be located near bodies of water, a ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is that if successful, the results of this project will revolutionize large area LED array assembly manufacturing, leading to unprecedented growth of the direct view LED display market. Direct view LED displays, or video walls, are becoming more ubiquitous in everyday life. First only appeari ...
