According to the USDA, 25% of the US fresh fruit supply at the consumer level is wasted, which equates to 9.5 billion pounds. To address consumer food waste, Imvela Corp. proposes to develop a novel, natural ingredient that reduces microbial spoilage and extends shelf life, when applied to berries after they are harvested. Our approach is innovative because we collect experimental data from a larg ...

How Glass SCMs Solve the Market Need. The process of producing cement has remained unchanged since the industrial revolution. Concrete producers need a new high performing cement alternative to lower their concrete products' cost and embodied carbon. Otherwise, we will be building our future communities using a process with the environmental and financial costs of 1820s technology. This project wi ...

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has a need to decrease the yield time and increase the through put of optical ceramic conformal windows. Optical manufacturing has been a rapidly growing field with advancements in all technology spectrums. High performance optical systems are needed in aerospace, defense, medical, and commercial components. Industry is requiring these components to be manufactured ...

This Phase II proposal is to develop and deliver an advanced capability mid-wave infrared (MWIR) scene projector (SP) able to simulate the parameters necessary to adequately test sensors/subsystems for hypersonic engagement scenarios. The MWIR SP product at TRL>6 will be developed in coordination with the sponsor’s goals and delivered to the sponsor’s chosen facility at the end of Phase II. Th ...

In this SBIR Phase I proposal, Kent Optronics and its partner Boulder Nonlinear Systems propose to develop a technological road map towards a 8k x 8k dual-band short wave/mid wave infrared scene projection (SP) display based on the currently developed 1356´x 1356 16-bit liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) via a hybrid approach. The program will yield an ultra-high performance SP system in SWIR to be ...

We are proposing to develop a distributed deep learning classifier that specifically addresses the technical challenges of accurate distributed classification for missile defense. We plan to provide detailed information to the final classification decision that allows engagement of adversary threats. It aims to utilize a distributed classification solution that trains the entire network in a singl ...

Reservoir Labs proposes REASON-GFC (The Reservoir Assignment System for Optimal Intercept, for Ground-based Fire Control), an effort that will solve the problem of dynamic battle management, informing salvo management and ground based fire control asset usage with multiple plans for the warfighter to choose from. The innovative use of logical-constraint solving (SATisfiability) to find, in real-ti ...
