"CANVS proposes a series of Color Night Vision systems be constructed during Phase-II. CANVS has a long history of experience in the field of Color Night Vision systems. Recent experiments by CANVS have provided validation for the proposed systemconfigurations. Details of these experimental systems and their performance is covered in the CANVS technical proposal upload. Phase-I of this program wil ...

"The Special Operation Forces (SOF) Threat Warning Software (TWS) will provide the SOF operator with the capability to rapidly detect, identify, receive alarms, and display the active emitters within his sphere of influence via emitter identification,direction finding (DF), and battlefield mapping functions integrated into a single user interface and display software. Furthermore, SOFTWS will pro ...

"Our Phase I study proved the feasibility of using monofilament carbon tow and thin resistant wire in a glove system to provide an adequate heat source to keep a soldier's hands comfortable in extreme cold temperatures while retaining hand dexterity andtactility. Our objectives during Phase II are to (1) incorporate our heat generation process into a super thin, non-melting, flame-rerardant materi ...

"Protective ensembles worn by today's soldiers for chemical protection, small-arms protection, and environmental protection require cooling if the soldier is to be able to operate for extended periods of time in warm temperatures. Similar problems exist inthe commercial chemical, nuclear, and biological industries.Current cooling and heating concepts have proven to be too large and heavy for any ...

Currently SOF tactical users lack a software package that permit them to monitor spread spectrum signals. In this effort Vertex will reserach all current variants of Frequency Hopper Spread Spectrum and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum used worldwide anddesign algorithms that will detect and identify these systems. Further will Vertex as a goal of the effort Vertex will design algorithms to demodul ...
