When enemies gain human and financial resources, U.S. warfighters and peacekeepers become exposed to greatly increased danger when performing the Stability And Reconstruction Operations (SARO) that aim to reduce or prevent future attacks.A major source of income and human power is the existence of worldwide human trafficking networks. We have conceptualized an automated process for targeting-opera ...

To address the DARPAs need for a night, all-condition viewable compact lightweight broadband heads-up night vision system, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to continue development of a new Night-Vision Ultra-Compact Glass-Like All-Condition Sensor-Fused See-through (NUGLASS)-HUD system based on unique integration of POC technologies: head-mounted single-lens wide field-of-view (FOV) mult ...

Trexs Night Vision Head Worn Display system (NV-HWD) will provide digital, multi-spectral, robust all-condition viewing capability for ground soldiers without harming natural see-through vision.The proposed system is a compact, lightweight, heads-up, broad-band night vision display system with dual function as a daytime display.Fused imagery from low-light CMOS and LWIR sensors is displayed via th ...

Toyon Research Corporation proposes to develop a mobile cloud-computing (MCC) software application that will enable significant performance benefits for constrained forward-deployed mobile platforms. The proposed program will demonstrate, within the first year, the basic framework of the MCC architecture using small, lightweight, low-power, commercially available components. The MCC platform will ...

The final product will include a suite of three app-based puzzle games aligned to national math standards for number sense, algebraic thinking, and problem solving. The games will be designed for use in grade 5 and 6 classrooms where students develop and apply content expertise to solving challenges. The games will include an adaptive engine that assesses and adjusts content based on student level ...

SA Photonics is pleased to propose the Hydra high power fiber based 3um laser source.Hydra employs high energy, higher power, flexible modulation 1.06um hybrid MOPA pump sources in conjunction with a novel wavelength conversion implementation to achieve a mid-wave IR source capable of both high average power and high pulse energy.

Optical Physics Company has developed a novel design for an extremely compact and broadband beam director.Conceived, designed, fabricated and tested under OPC IR&D, the key technical features of this new design have been proven in the NIR.In addition, a modified design has been completed which is predicted to satisfy all DARPA performance requirements in the MWIR band.This compact beam director wi ...

This program is associated with the development of power efficient direct RF-sampling ADCs that are capable of capturing and quantizing RF signals from DC to beyond 20GHz.The core analog technology will be developed and demonstrated on this effort with the key goals of wide bandwidth (20GHz minimum), high ENOB (6 minimum), and low power consumption (< 500 mW).

We propose a novel, open, high-assurance architecture based on the seL4 secure microkernel and RTI's commercial, DO178-C Level A certifiable, Data Distribution Service (DDS) messaging middleware for affordable development of trusted, verified, safety-critical distributed systems.

The inability to replace the RD-180 in a timely manner highlights the long development cycle for turbopump rocket engines.A Pistonless pump would allow for quick development of rocket engines that can be scaled as mission requirements evolve. This would support DOD contractors who are developing liquid rocket engine powered vehicles.This proposal responds to this need with a scalable pump system d ...
