The objective of this DoT SBIR program is to establish a technical foundation enabling the rapid commercial integration of low friction HybridSil™ coatings on concrete barriers for drastic reductions in vehicle rollover potential. Phase I coatings would have immediate utility within a broad spectrum of concrete barriers designs with readily spray or paint depositions capabilities in traffic env ...

In light of the potential threat and related environmental durability requirements set forth in SOCOM SBIR solicitation #07-007, Exothermics and their Phase 1 program team propose the development and initial testing of a new family of ballistically-efficient, multi-threat, optically-transparent armor laminates for use in applications such as windscreens and sensor windows on special operations hel ...

Some of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) greatest concerns are to maintain the pilot’s ability to see clearly and to provide to the aircraft occupants a greater degree of UV rays, laser and ballistic protection than being currently afforded. However, the weight penalty suffered by the installation of current transparent armor systems would require significant loss of payloa ...

The GWOT requires Special Operations Forces to operate in a variety of environments and rely heavily on the support of local forces while operating in a wide variety of countries. In order to consistently leverage this support as well as understand the underlying motivations and influences of both friends and foes, warfighters need to understand the particular aspects of the culture where they ar ...

Digital Signal Corporation (DSC) will adapt its current operational Bio-LIDAR 3D face imaging system to SOCOM’s application set and 100 Meter range requirements. The Bio-LIDAR is a highly evolved extension of an industrial metrology lidar that produces eye-safe precision 3D measurements at 60 meters. The Bio-LIDAR can monitor heartbeat, breathing and audio biological signals. During Phase I DSC ...

A NAVIGATION DATA REPORTER (NAVREP) WHICH PROVIDES THE BEST ESTIMATE OF USER POSITION FROM AVAILABLE NAV AIDS IS PROPOSED AS A SOURCE OFTRACKING DATA FOR DEPENDENT SU TSURVEILLANCE IN OCEANIC AIRSPACE OR AREAS WITH ATC COVERAGE GAPS. NAVREP ALGORITHMS ARE TO BE DEVELOPED FOR ON BOARD OR GROUND-BASED NAVIGATION DATA INTEGRATION AND F DFAULT DETECTION/ISOLATION. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY WILL FOCUS ON: 1) ...
