Coherent Logix, Incorporated proposes to develop a Hyperspectral Image Processing Platform (HIPP) that will revolutionize hyperspectral image processing systems with the capability to process a 128 Megabyte (MB) hyperspectral data cube at more than 30 data cubes per second while simultaneously being able to detect and track more than 970 independent anomalies per second. This computation intensiv ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): West Nile virus infection is an emerging infectious disease in the United States. The virus infects birds, which serve as the natural reservoir for the virus, in addition to humans and horses which are incidental h

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) PHASE I The need for reliable biomarkers in cancer is clear, for areas including prognosis, stratification, therapeutic monitoring and drug discovery and approval. The fundamental disorder in cancer is altered cell k

This proposed Phase 2 project will develop a prototype version of a Controller for Heterogeneous Sensor Systems (CHESS) to provide network-centric sensor control for multi-INT geolocation applications. CHESS will use an XML-based control language to coordinate activities among COMINT, ELINT, and IMINT sensors.

The ability to countermeasure man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) missiles is one of the most pressing problems that military and commercial aircraft face today. Currently available countermeasure systems are costly, complex and not operationally acceptable. Current MWS equipment cannot meet all of the requirements such as long-range detection, high angular resolution, low false alarm rat ...

Problem or opportunity: Existing Navy phased array antenna radars are enormously costly, waste a large amount of power, and are quite cumbersome. A revolutionary approach to beam-forming recently introduced by WaveBand Corporation will result in dramatic improvement in these features. The new beamforming technology performs all the functions of the conventional phased array technology; however, ...

KaZaK Composites proposes to design and demonstrate innovative, low cost pultrusion technology that meets DD(X) structural requirements, and could significantly reduce the finished cost of composite ship structures compared to VARTM. A database of design information is required to confidently commit to the use of a material in ship structures. It has been KCI's assertion that the pultrusion proce ...

In Phase I, Kutta Consulting defined and detailed its vision for a Dismounted Associate (DA) that gives America's soldiers over-the-hill battlefield intelligence. Kutta, however, did not act alone. AATD, Boeing Phantom Works, General Dynamics, Advanced Ceramics Research, Neural Robotics Incorporated, 21st Century Systems, and numerous user groups contributed significant concepts, subject matter ex ...
