Current global and domestic threat environments present US military forces, law enforcement and security personnel with non-lethal crowd control challenges. During Phase I, Intelligent Optical Systems, (IOS) demonstrated the feasibility of developing a non-lethal, but powerful and flexible crowd control weapon. The proposed weapon is a portable, non-lethal, multidirectional strobe light for milit ...

IPITEK proposes polymer-based, integrated, optical bus interface module (OBIM). The OBIM is a critical element for the optical transmission bus and the access node in a military bi-directional broadcast bus topology, which is more reliable and rugged and also supporting Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), for the simultaneous transmission of multi-protocol digital and analog RF signals in the ...

Irvine Sensors Corporation (ISC) proposes to develop a stacked-chip solution to allow the creation of fully trustable integrated circuits starting from non-trusted components. Our approach combines a “trust-enabler” stacked module, combining the non-trustable component with a reconfigurable interface layer functioning as a gate keeper. From a system viewpoint, the system designer can use the p ...

In Phase II, the Microcosm team will develop a brassboard miniature star sensor, MicroMak, which will provide nanosatellites with high bandwidth, moderate- to high accuracy, low cost attitude determination. It will be designed with plug-and-play capability consistent with a newly proposed generation of space avionics interface standards being developed at AFRL. MicroMak enables nano- and microsa ...

We propose development and demonstration of key elements of the in-stride launch and recovery system (LRS) we analyzed in Phase I to provide capabilities of a modular, scalable LRS that can readily and quickly be mounted for small UUV launch and recovery using a range of sizes and types of larger UUV. Deliverables include in-water demonstration of autonomous recovery and of data and power transmi ...

The volume and complexity of information available to decision makers by modern information technology presents both unprecedented challenges and great opportunities. Unfortunately, many information technologies intended to assist military decision-makers acquire, filter, manage, and integrate information do not alleviate their information burden; they add to it. To be effective, modern military C ...

Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a novel Nanoporous Photocatalytic Filter (NPF) that will meet the need for advanced air filtration technology that both captures and neutralizes chemical and biological agents with high efficiency and low resistance to airflow. NPF is based on a new filtering medium, which serves as a matrix for inducing cold glow plasma discharge and photocat ...

The objective of the Phase II is to develop an optimal design approach for the creation of a device that will support low bit rate communication over existing in-building wiring infrastructure. The desired content of data transferred was targeted for voice and sensor data. Additionally, each individual unit must be able to connect to one another via an efficient ad-hoc network structure.
