Ziva proposes to develop and demonstrate a novel and powerful approach called Military Distributed Array Reach-back using Time Reversal (m-DART) which enables extension of communication range for both TX and RX in a scaled down A2/AD scenario on a small size, weight, and power (SWaP) distributed unmanned aerial system (UAS). The overall objective of m-DART Phase II/Option is to develop and demonst ...

A wireless implant capable of communication with large populations of neurons will be developed for manufacturing and production in this project. The product will have effective wireless data rates significantly higher than state of the art wireless neural interfaces. This will improve wireless communication with neurons, and is a promising step towards transformative treatments: sight, sound, sme ...

Pacific Microchip Corp. proposes to design, produce and commercialize an 8-bit 56GS/s analog to digital converter (ADC) which includes a novel calibration system based on the calculation of the difference in squared output voltage of sub-ADCs in the digi...

We propose to mature LG-X glider technology by manufacturing full-scaled prototypes and characterizing them in land-based flight-testing by using commercial aircraft to drop the gliders. Validated components such as the landing parachute, folding wing mechanism, and autopilot control system will undergo integrated flight-testing. Logistic Gliders will provide a considerable cost share to support ...

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 ...

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 ...

Technical Abstract (Limit your abstract to 200 words with no classified or proprietary information) Injury and death of marine mammals can be caused by ship strikes and exposure to high level acoustic sources.It is incumbent upon all U.S. mariners to take whatever precautions necessary to avoid such incidents.The current procedure for mitigating these events is human observers watching with binocu ...

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 ...

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.

Synvitrobio is building on its Phase I effort to develop next-generation cell-free platforms for prototyping complex biological circuits and pathways. We propose the creation of a Cell-Free Foundry to rapidly, reproducibly, and at scale take as an input ...
