We propose to realize a new class of microbolometer FPA technology with significantly reduced 1/f noise by replacing the sensing material (e.g. VOx) with colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) oxides. The program uniquely combines Agiltron’s experience in novel IR imager development and leading academic research on CMR at Los Alamos National Lab (LANL). The LANL Team has developed a breakthrough pro ...

This proposal offers a detailed work plan to conduct the research and development tasks necessary to produce a system for use by U.S. military planners and their U.S. Government interagency partners to access relevant lessons learned and reachback capabilities in stabilization and reconstruction environments. Development of the proposed Security, Stabilization, Transition, and Reconstruction Infor ...

Army leaders face a wide variety of emotionally charged situations. Success in dealing with these situations requires that Army leaders manage their emotions and those of others. Army leaders, however, receive relatively little training in this area. Ne

CellTech Power will continue the development of the Liquid Tin Anode Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (LTA-SOFC) operating directly on JP-8. In this program, a 125 Watt Direct JP-8 stack will be built using CellTech’s proven Gen 3.1 cell design. Modular panels of

Colorado Engineering, Inc (CEI) is a small woman owned business with a wealth of engineering expertise in the development of software and hardware systems for DoD combat, weapon and sensor systems has teamed with Villanova University to develop the SHAPE system. The measuring and mapping of community development in order to adjust tactics, as well insert stimuli to direct future change, is a pure ...

This proposal describes the development of an informed, comprehensive curriculum to improve U.S. military advisor training. The goal is to enhance the effectiveness of military advisors so that they understand and utilize principles and practices of intercultural training. Although this proposal is replete with innovative and informed approaches to training military advisors, we highlight five s ...

The current emphasis on SSTR and COIN operations often places a soldier in close, interpersonal roles while building schools, training police, etc…. Many operations involve establishing rapport and discerning intent in close proximity to friendly and possibly dangerous individuals. Unfortunately, the typical American Soldier not only deals with unfamiliar, non-Western environments, but has lit ...

As the U.S. Government increases participation in post-conflict Stabilization and Reconstruction Operations (S&RO) around the globe, the ability to understand the relationships between task completion and mission completion is critical. The US Government employs a metrics tool developed though the Monitoring Progress in Conflict Environments project. The objective of this Phase I STTR is to provid ...

The purpose of this project is to develop innovative methods for monitoring the evolving situation; intervention activities and consequences in a stabilization and reconstruction mission related to conflict, post-conflict or post emergency conditions in a country or region. The goal of our Phase I research is to develop a methodology and process to "link" planned/on-going implementation level pro ...

During Phase 2 Hstar Technologies will prototype a robotic non-invasive 3D ultrasound injury assessment system that a) allows local autonomous neck/spine injury assessment using pattern recognition, b) provides capability of telepresence injury assessment
