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 ...

Enig Associates, Inc., a small business providing advanced modeling and simulation capabilities to the DoD and DoE, is proposing an innovative and novel electrical approach, using explosive-driven flux compression generators (FCG) to convert explosive chemical energy to electromagnetic energy with very high current output and superb energy conversion efficiency and then enhance explosive load to u ...

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) ...

Future Army and DoD systems will rely on greater functional integration and autonomy that create interactions among applications and resources that have mixed criticalities. WWTGs innovations in this project will benefit the Army (and other DoD branches) by providing: 1) A tool-assisted design strategies for composing mixed critical system architectures based on Aspect Containment Regions (ACRs) m ...

The deployment of the C-RAM weapon system in and around urban/suburban has increased the desire of the Army to have the ability to"dial in"a velocity to guns for response to a wider range of scenarios. Responding to this request, TRI/Austin will build upon its successful electro-thermal gun and projectile program and proposes designing, fabricating, and testing an electro-thermal chemical launche ...

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 ...

This Phase I project will demonstrate the feasibility of applying bipolar ionomer thin films as effective desalination elements in small lightweight, handheld, manual devices for the individual soldier to desalt seawater for drinking. Water is the most important compound for every living species. In the battlefield environment, clean, fresh water is generally very difficult to supply due to the ...

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 ...

Members of the genera Rickettsia and Ehrlichia are obligately intercellular, arthropod-borne bacteria which are distributed either worldwide or in defined geographic areas. Several are human pathogens; the severity of infection ranges from inapparent to fatal. Initiation of preventive measures and appropriate treatment depend on awareness of the infectious agent's prevalence within a given regio ...
