The utility of continuously tracking vehicles in a battlefield has been demonstrated during the Gulf War and other recent conflicts. However, the ability to achieve reliable continuous tracking in many environments will require the use of FOPEN radar andefficient use of sensor resources. In this effort we extend current research to include heterogeneous terrain and apply this model to simulations. ...

The proposed effort will extend existing proofs of concept and advanced research systems to: (a) provide an efficient, low-level, data-parallel runtime for graph processing on GPUs; (b) provide a high-level abstraction for writing graph analytics that are

We currently have thousands of security cameras in the war zone. Automated Target Recognition (ATR) is essential for reducing the manpower required for monitoring the security cameras. Having human operators staring at video screens for hours at a time is not an effective use of our forces. ATR is a terrific force-multiplier since it reduces the number of security personnel required to monitor sur ...

KaZaK, assisted by the University of Massachusetts - Lowell, proposes to develop and produce an innovative, low cost hydraulic spreader with compressed gas cartridge power source and optional manual override. Features include low weight, portability, quick-load high energy density compressed gas cartridge, fuel flexibility, and multiple quick-change extraction tool attachments. Additionally, a man ...

Voltage tunable multiferroic materials with strong magnetoelectric coupling provide a unique approach to compact, lightweight and power efficient tunable RF/microwave multiferroic components, such as tunable inductors, filters, phase shifters, etc. The tu

SI2 Technologies proposes to design, model, fabricate and transition wideband tunable multiferroic electronics for advanced RF systems including adaptive Radar, software defined radios and other electronic warfare (EW) applications. Combining novel nanost
