The product of the proposed research will be a complete system design for a dual (multi)-voltage Lithium ion 6T battery to power multiple vehicle platforms.The effort will demonstrate substantial progress toward a military and commercial product to equip the Army fleet with a single battery to service multiple voltage requirements.

In this Phase II, Oceanit proposes to further the impedance approach and battery analyzer device developed in Phase I to demonstrate an optimized technique for monitoring, diagnosis and prognosis of lead acid batteries. Oceanit shall design an integrated lead-acid battery health monitoring tool prototype for testing in an operationally relevant environment. Impedance model will be further refined ...

Oceanit proposes to develop visual analytics tool to support collaborative decision making with high-dimensional variables using 2D, 2 1/2D, and 3D visualization with interaction for demonstration.

Team proposes to use active LIDAR and passive LWIR hyperspectral imaging systems for standoff detection of chemical and biological plumes.

With the denial of RF triggering through broad spectrum jamming, IR activated devices are becoming prevalent creating an urgent need for a device that can be used to block or jam IR signals used to detonate IEDs. No such device currently exists and as a consequence the lives of American troops are put at risk. Oceanit proposes to rectify this problem by using a patent pending 360 degree optical a ...

The proposed project will result in the design of a “Distributed Services Framework” (DSF) which provides a service-oriented, distributed architecture for the hosting, advertising, discovery and invoking of “distributed services” across Army “Mobile Ad-hoc Networks” (MANETs). Example distributed services include devices or applications (storage, processing power, video, sensors, Inter ...

The Quality of Service Traffic Manager (QTM) software tool provides ability to actively change QoS policies and packet priorities based on characteristics of transmitted packets or priorities imposed by Commanders. QTM bridges the communication gap between applications, services, and network configuration components. The QTM technical approach leverages Referentia’s Smart Data Flow (SDF) softwa ...

Prodrug-based drug delivery systems have the promise to augment the efficacy of compounds with limited bioavailability to solid tumors. We propose a unique approach for a targeted prodrug delivery system. The system has the potential to deliver other therapeutic agents as well. We propose to explore the feasibility of this novel approach towards enhancing the efficacy of therapeutic agents for bre ...

The Army is using unattended ground sensors (UGS) for surveillance and intelligence collection, and while they are effective in many scenarios, the current UGS technologies have capability shortcomings and characteristics that limit their usefulness in many applications. These shortcomings include the lack of radar search capabilities due to cost, weight, power and size constraints. Radar could a ...
