To address the Army"s requirement for Low-Cost Chaos-based Radar solution, TechFlow Scientific and the University of New Mexico will design, develop, and test a prototype chaos based radar employing a coherent receiver with a matched filter. In Phase-I, we will perform a careful design study of the chaos-radar system components. We will develop robust technical solutions such as the use of Titaniu ...

The combined team of Neya Systems, LLC (NSL), and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), propose to develop the Casualty Evacuation Mission Management System (CEMMS), an effort that will provide significant opportunities to: 1. Develop a Domain Specific Language (DSL) that enables translation from commander"s intent to UGV commands, leveraging a large base of work developed under an existing Army SBIR ...

There is a well-understood need for a small bioinformatics based wearable critical care monitor allowing for the remote monitoring and triage of wounded warfighters. Our Phase I research demonstrated that by augmenting a commercial wearable body monitoring device (BodyMedia"s SenseWear Armband) with ECG and sophisticated signal processing including the wavelet transform invented at Virginia Commo ...

Phishing attacks fool end-users into disclosing sensitive information (e.g., passwords, trade secrets, and national security secrets) or installing malware on their computers. While a number of automated solutions have been developed to mitigate these attacks, these solutions have drawbacks in terms of scalability, timeliness, and accuracy. Our goal is to develop novel anti-phishing email and ...

The development of laser standoff detection systems for toxic gases is proposed. The systems will use new broadly tunable distributed feedback (DFB) lasers operating in the mid-infrared spectral region. The laser technology has already demonstrated a capability for significant wavelength tuning. The Phase I effort will focus on modeling the laser performance with the objective of extending the las ...

By closely working with Prof. Ding"s group at Lehigh University, PI proposes to take a revolutionary approach to THz generation based on difference-frequency generation. Such a nonlinear process will take place inside the cavity of a dual-wavelength Yb:YAG laser. PI plans to demonstrate dual-wavelength operation of CW and Q-switched Yb:YAG lasers. PI"s goal is to reach the output powers of at leas ...

The primary objective of this Phase I project is to develop radar-based techniques and algorithms to accurately estimate the parameters of walls, such as dielectric constant, conductivity (or loss-tangent) and thickness, as well as to devise methods that can characterize inhomogeneous walls by detecting presence of foiled-back insulation, reinforced wires/studs, water pipes, and enclosed air-gaps, ...

The ability to model complex systems relevant to EW defeat scenarios, currently requires a knowledgeable user to decompose high-level phenomena into a set of individual phenomena in order to model each phenomenon individually. There are no end-to-end models or systems of models that can appropriately model all aspects of the problem and coherently bring them together into an accurate solution. Thi ...

This proposal deals with the extension of physics in CFD codes to permit their more accurate and reliable analysis of transient missile jet/exhaust interactions. Such interactions include those associated with divert jet firings and with stage-separation, and their analysis is complicated by the significant role played by transitional turbulence effects, which impacts both the size and the oscilla ...

In this proposal Zeomedix proposes to develop a dressing for acute trauma wounds based on its alginate/zeolite encapsulating nitric oxide (NO) technology. Nitric oxide has been shown to enhance the wound healing process as well as act as a powerful antibacterial agent. However, delivery of nitric oxide to a wound area is extremely challenging because NO is a gas. Zeomedix"s approach is to use zeol ...
