"A military combat unit must "see" the battlefield better than the enemy, decide sooner than the enemy what to do, "move" to fight effectively and "shoot" to destroy the enemy. As the US Army moves toward weapons systems for the digital battlefield, newer,lighter weight and more capable hardware is emerging. These digital systems may not realize better "seeing", that is, situational awareness. Co ...

"In response to Small Business Innovative Research solicitation A01-207, 21CSI is pleased to propose the development of a proof-of-concept software decision aid that aggregates space objects into a single, integrated space picture. Our decision aid,SituSpace, will be built from the bottom up to support the theater commander and his staff with a visual depiction of the space portion of the battles ...

"In response to Small Business Innovative Research solicitation BMDO02-016, 21CSI is pleased to propose the development of a proof-of-concept sensor intranet and decision aid software application that ties disparate and legacy sensors into a net. Ourconcept, Sensor-AEDGE, will be built from the bottom up to support the netting of sensors into a cohesive, complementary unit. It will employ intell ...

"The goals of an enhanced mobile infantry, a weapons system that leaves the warrior with his whole mind free to handle his weapons and notice what is going on around him, as expressed in Heinlein's timeless Starship Troopers is becoming a reality todaythrough the innovative progress being made by the U.S. Army's 21st Century Land Warrior program. However, the current Land Warrior system does not ...

"We propose a two way integration of logistics and simulation technologiesincorporating Cougaar and HLA technologies. At one end of the integration,we propose to exploit simulation technologies to drive the major inputs ofthe logistics and the distribution pipeline. At the other end, the logistics software can provide opportunities to drive parts of the simulation by making all or a portion of th ...

"We propose two key enhancements to the SAAS-MOD system that encompasses the major Phase I objectives. The first enhancement to SAAS-MOD proposed is the optimization of the UCL for maximally efficient collection of those items at the ASP. The added valueofthis optimization will be a physical" route" in which ASP personnel can physically collect items of a UCL. Once these supplies have been gathe ...

"The objective of Phase I of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of a Wireless Rotor-Mounted High-Speed Data Acquisition System for helicopter research. The system requirements encompass demanding features including capacity to acquire up to 256rotor-mounted sensors at up to 31,720 samples per second. Programmable sampling strategies, and signal conditioning configurations are required. ...

"ACIT has studied a remotely addressed strain detection system consisting of a passive embedded sensor and a handheld detector, used in either a stationary or portable mode. This Proposal will demonstrate the utility of the strain detection system forspecific advanced composite materials used in aerospace vehicles, fulfilling a critical need to assess the mission capability of advanced composites ...

"The proposed project will demonstrate the feasibility of developing a Stochastic Neural Network for Missile Reliability Prognostics. A neural network model will be developed to predict missile reliability based on the environmental history of particularmissiles. Prediction training will be employed to predict missile reliability at future times, based only on training data available at the curr ...

"Active Signal Technologies proposes to develop an active noise reduction (ANR) stethoscope that will enable detection and discrimination of heart and breathing sounds in the high noise environment of a UH-60 BlackHawk helicopter. We will enhance ourdirect contact sensor technology, which already provides state-of-the-art physiological signal detection and passive noise rejection, to better match ...
