Realtime PB-IED and Threat Detection With Spectro-Polarimetric Hyperspectral Camera
SBC: BRIMROSE TECHNOLOGY CORP Topic: NASAT801Optical detection of objects hidden behind opaque layers is a challenging problem. As such, Person-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (PB-IEDs) underneath clothing continue to be a persistent threat to the military and law enforcement communities. Safe stand-off detection in crowds is needed for the confirmation, identification, and neutralization of PB-IEDs. Technologies previously investigated i ...

Low Earth Orbit Positioning, Navigation and Timing (LEO-PNT)
SBC: COHERENT TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC. Topic: A21CT017Coherent Technical Services, Inc. (CTSi) and the University of Texas at Austin Radionavigation Lab (RNL) propose developing prototype modules that exploit Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) mega constellations to provide Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) data to mounted and dismounted troops. These prototypes will be compatible with the Mounted and Dismounted Assured PNT Systems (MAPS and DAPS, respective ...

Large-scale production of fungal melanin for novel radiation shielding/harvesting applications
SBC: MELATECH, L.L.C. Topic: A19BT010The optical and physicochemical properties of melanin polymers are unique and can be applied to generate a new class of products with a wide variety of commercial applications that include radiation shielding countermeasures, camouflage/screening, thermal energy harvesting, and insulation. Access to melanin is currently limited to Sepia officinalis (cuttlefish) at $460/g which prohibits its use ...

RODEO: Roll-Over Detection for Equipment-transporter Operation
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: A18BT025In dismounted operations, combating and marching while carrying heavy loads can quickly exhaust Soldiers/Marines and hence affect the overall OPTEMPO. The Army SMET Program was established to address this capability gap. During the early testing of the SMET prototypes, however, the tele-operated vehicles were found to be prone to frequent rollovers/overturns, especially due to insufficient awarene ...

5G++- Adapting 5G for Tactical mmWave Networks
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: A19CT0025G technology is targeting very high throughput, low power, and low latency, which are expected to benefit not only commercial but also tactical communications. Operating in millimeter wave (mmWave) bands provides high bandwidths to meet the ever-growing throughput demands of emerging tactical applications in shared spectrum environments. However, 5G waveform, as it is, does not satisfy Army’s r ...

Additive Manufactured Smart Structures with Discrete Embedded Sensors
SBC: 3DFlexible Inc Topic: A17AT024Today’s soldiers and vehicles are equipped with sensors and devices that are ‘connected’ through boards, processors/chips, transceivers, and micro mechanical systems. To design, fabricate and embed sensors and devices on the warfighter and to connect them efficiently is going to require multiple advanced manufacturing technologies: Subtractive Manufacturing (CNC), Additive Manufacturing (A ...

DOEYK: Detecting Objects with Enhanced YOLOv3 and Knowledge Graph
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: DTRA19B002Current state-of-the-art object detection algorithms are almost exclusively based on Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN). These algorithms all require a large number of labeled examples for each of the object categories they can recognize. These algorithms will fail for novel objects that only very few or even no prior examples are available. These algorithms are also far less accurate when c ...

Man-Portable, Direct-Fuel Capable, Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
SBC: MILLENNITEK, LLC Topic: A14AT011A lightweight and man-portable 300W tubular solid oxide fuel cell is being developed that can operate directly from liquid fuels without the need for separate fuel processing. A novel freeze-casting approach is being used to produce the anode-supported cells with an integrated catalyst that prevents sulfur and carbon in the fuel from degrading the electrical performance over time. Solid oxide fuel ...

DRAGONS – Dynamic Resource Allocation Gains for Operational Networked Sharing
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: A18BT007Sharing platforms have already transformed some sectors of civilian logistics, promoting the efficient utilization of resources, such as cars and bicycles. Sharing resources is particularly desirable when those resources are costly, and high utilization is critical, characteristics often observed in military settings. In order to address specific constraints imposed by military applications on res ...

RAfFLES: Ransomware-Aware Flash-basEd Storage
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: A18BT010Ransomware is an international crime operation that strikes commercial, public and government organizations. It is estimated that ransomware has cost nearly $5 billion in damages worldwide in 2017 alone, and if left unmitigated, by 2019 will hit an enterprise every 14 seconds causing a projected total loss of $11.5 billion. Intelligent Automation Inc. and its academic partners propose to take adva ...
