Coherent Logix, Incorporated proposes to develop a Hyperspectral Image Processing Platform (HIPP) that will revolutionize hyperspectral image processing systems with the capability to process a 128 Megabyte (MB) hyperspectral data cube at more than 30 data cubes per second while simultaneously being able to detect and track more than 970 independent anomalies per second. This computation intensiv ...

The design of electro-optical sensors increasingly relies on simulation models to predict performance in a wide variety of scenarios. The purpose of this SBIR program, dubbed kURT (k-distribution based Ultra-fast Radiative Transfer), is to develop very fast and accurate radiative transfer (RT) routines for incorporation in Army Research Laboratory (ARL) scene simulation software, building on the ...

This proposal presents an innovative low power and low noise MMIC for 10GHz multifunction frequency syntheses and modulations using advanced SiGe technology. The architecture includes an ultrahigh-speed direct digital synthesizer (DDS) with a maximum clock frequency of 10~12GHz to synthesize and modulate the intermediate frequency (IF) of 1GHz and above. It uses a low-noise phase lock loop (PLL) ...

The objective of the proposed effort is to develop an ATLAS (Army Transformation in Logistics And Sustainment) environment that provides a unified modeling and experimentation framework for assessing current and future combat systems maintenance concepts, maintenance manpower and capacity planning and soldier load / effectiveness with simulation, tradeoff analysis, data-mining analytics and optimi ...

NanoScience Diagnostics Inc. (NSD) and Texas State University (TxSU) plan to build on NSD's very successful Phase I STTR project in which the utility of fluorescent nanoparticles (NP)-antibody conjugates for both detection and decontamination of bacteria (as models of biological threat agents) on building interior surfaces was verified. During Phase I, NSD discovered confidential and proprietary p ...

In the phase I effort, IAI successfully demonstrated the feasibility of co-operative swarm based approach to boundary tracking. This approach is relevant to applications such as tracking oil spills using a swarm of robots, tracking enemy troop movement using a swarm of UAV's (Future Combat System (FCS) type scenario), and tracking of static and moving mine fields . In Phase II, we continue our ef ...

Base deficit is a useful guide for fluid resuscitation of trauma patients and can be used for early identification of patients at high risk for shock related complications. The military has identified the value of determining based deficit in the field which would greatly improve the care of injured soldiers, particularly those with unrecognized or compensated shock and would also allow the more ...

A typical soldier in the US ARMY carries a number of devices powered by batteries which cannot be recharged, are heavy, and when disposed off raise environmental concerns. Thus, reducing this logistic burden and providing alternate, in theatre, rechargeable energy sources are high priorities for the US ARMY. Rechargeable biofuel cells are an alternative. In Phase I, Lynntech, Inc. in collaboration ...

Techno-Sciences, Inc. (TSi), in collaboration with the Smart Structures Laboratory of the Alfred Gessow Rotorcraft Center at the University of Maryland (UMD), proposes to develop an innovative Active Pitch Link (APL) Technology for improved active rotor performance. The APL will exploit the superior performance characteristics of a new magnetostrictive material, GalFeNOL, and nano-particle enhance ...

This Phase II SBIR proposal aims to develop a multidimensional protein separation platform based on polymer microfluidics technology which will be capable of mapping a wide range of post-translational modifications (PTMs) in complex protein samples. The proposed system employs three separation dimensions, namely: IEF, SDS gel electrophoresis, and MALDI-MS. The platform will combine IEF and SDS gel ...
