For SAR, spatial and temporal adaptive processing (STAP) uses samples local to the cell being processed to estimate local clutter and noise statistics. If these samples are corrupted by returns from other unknown targets, the statistics are invalid and theperformance of the algorithms can be degraded. We propose to conduct a range of experiments to evaluate signal detection, statistical, multi-loo ...

Recent advances in mammalian artificial chromosome design and engineering offer an alternative to existing methodologies for cellular bioengineering and address unmet needs to bioengineer more complex functionalities into human cells for subsequent commer

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 primary goal of the work to be accomplished under this SBIR Phase II effort is the implementation of an efficient and reliable wireless Circular Trellis Coded Wavelet Packet Modulation System (CTCWPMS). The developed prototype CTCWPMS will moreeffectively address a variety of wireless communications challenges that cannot be met using conventional Fourier source and channel coding methods. M ...

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

Current flight software certificationprocedures for autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)and Uninhabited Combat Airial Vehicles (UCAV),such as those employed under the Boeing/DARPAUCAV program, are tedious and cumbersome.Hence there is great interest in developing techniques thatreduce the time and effort needed to complete the certificationprocess even while guaranteeingthe closed-loop UCAV p ...

This project focuses on dissolution and destruction of adhered or trapped target compounds, such as pesticides on wetted porous surfaces (e.g., pipe walls). Our innovative treatment approach is based on simultaneous: (1) desorption from the pipe wall, and (2) oxidation via radical formation. OxyZone-C®, a proprietary reactive agent developed by our team, combines highly effective cyclodextrin­fa ...
