The Persistent UNmanned Team (PUNT) Phase II objective is to continue the development of  PUNT to address the problem of using UAS to persistently survey an area for an extended period of time, recharging as necessary and tracking identified targets at user request.   PUNT will provide a software package with the reasoning and coordination to achieve persistent surveillance by dealing with sev ...

We propose to continue Phase II development of the Intelligent Detection of Human-generated Threats (IDEHT) system, which will use artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to detect emerging human-generated physical threats to Army installations by monitoring open source and security-related data sets. Our innovative approach includes analyzing potentially threatening individuals ...

The objective of this effort is to demonstrate a 600 Vdc to 208 Vac three-phase bi-directional, isolated power inverter that utilizes wide bandgap semiconductors and is capable of operating across all military ground vehicles and, in a separate hardware configuration, operate in a stand-alone tactical microgrid environment.  The proposed inverter is based on an isolated topology, contains a combi ...

Makai Ocean Engineering, Inc. will address the overloaded AMPV cooling system with its TFHXTM technology which will provide at least 5%, and potentially 10%, performance improvement with minimal increase in pressure drop.  The heat exchanger pack will also meet durability and reliability requirements for military operating environments.  Additional focus on durability and reliability is require ...

To address the Army PEO Aviation need for secure architecture concepts and components for development of common avionics display technologies, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (Intellisense) proposes to continue development, in Phase II, of the new Secure Modular Architecture for Reusable Transfer of Display Data (SMART-2D) proven feasible in Phase I. SMART-2D implements Future Airborne Capabilities Env ...

The growing challenge of plastic waste accumulation in the US, and throughout the world, requires an immediate and innovative solution. A solution that would help to mitigate the ever growing plastic waste problem, while utilizing the abundant latent energy in plastic waste to produce liquid fuel, would not only help the US with its plastics reuse capability, but would add to the $5 Billion oil ma ...

Attollo Engineering will develop a design for a multi-mode, digital, readout integrated circuit (DROIC) that provides 3D laser ranging, asynchronous laser pulse detection and see-spot imaging in a single sensor. The DROIC will be designed for integration with a variety of detector array materials including the SWIR, MWIR and LWIR wavebands. In Phase I Attollo will develop the pixel cell and floorp ...

The overall goal of Ziva’s Phase II SBIR CRONUS proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel and powerful approach to wirelessly distribute Two-Way-Time-Transfer (TWTT), ranging, and a frequency reference amongst distributed nodes.  The developed radio waveform will be capable of ultra-high accuracy ranging in the 10’s of picoseconds and frequency transfer of 1e-11 accuracy independe ...

A program to develop a compact, high-operating-temperature (HOT) SWIR-MWIR/MWIR dual-band focalplane imager for threat warning applications is proposed.  The Dual-Band Treat Warning Image Sensor (TWIR-2) builds upon Surface Optics’ real-time spectral imaging activities, including our current work in single-FPA dual-band imaging, our 3D full-motion video spectral imaging (FMV-SI) technology, and ...
