Coherent Logix, Incorporated proposes to develop a Simultaneous Real-Time Processing Surveillance Receiver (SRPSR) capable of measuring intended and unintended spectral emissions of electronic equipment in a very dense, noisy signal environment. This computation intensive SRPSR system will be based on Coherent Logix’s reprogrammable, dynamically reconfigurable, real-time adaptable, patent pendi ...

The Navy desires to equip P-3s and similar future aircraft with UAVs that can be launched from a standard A-size sonobouy tube and return real-time information including video images from remote locations for further analysis and action. Lite Machines has developed an electric-powered rotary-wing UAV having a cylindrical body and a counter-rotating, coaxial, rotor system, that fits within these ti ...

The main goal of this project is to design, develop, and demonstrate an innovative Ontology Driven Integration Framework (ODIF). We propose a hybrid approach that combines knowledge extraction techniques with ontology analysis methods to automatically extract knowledge from distributed, unstructured text sources and facilitate the integration and sharing of this knowledge for space launch and ran ...

Current radar altimeters in cluster munitions use an FMCW approach which requires expensive touch labor on the antenna to get the proper isolation and expensive multi-chip modules for processing the received energy. Mustang Technology Group will fabricate a form-factored low-cost radar altimeter and demonstrate through drop testing. Low-cost pulsed radars can now be manufactured using commercial ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will develop and deliver prototypes of high power, coherent 1550 nm Grating-outcoupled Surface-Emitting (GSE) laser array modules with integrated lenses for military detection and ranging applications. These eye-safe lasers will deliver 15 W of peak power with high coherence (relative to broad area edge-emitting lasers), wavelength stability ...

Wet install” rivets/fasteners use two-part sealants that are hand brushed onto the sleeve just prior to installation – associated labor and schedule costs are significant, and quality variation can be high. Rivets with a pre-applied sealant are an obvious but technically challenging solution. To get cure-in-place seals on rivets/fasteners means blocking sealant cure until installation. Cure ...

Coherent Logix, Incorporated proposes the use of its patent pending HyperX technology for the computational requirements of a general Adaptive Directional and Frequency Filter (ADFF) system, suitable for use with multi-element antenna systems for exceptional reduction of jamming and interference in radio communications and navigation. The computational methods are the outgrowth of a highly succes ...

Coherent Logix, Incorporated. (CLX) proposes the use of its patent-pending HyperX technology for applications requiring radiation hardness on space-based platforms. The HyperX is a novel ultra-low power, high performance, parallel processing chip (integrated circuit) that is especially suitable for digital signal, image, and vector processing. Extensive analysis of the computational performance ...

Many commercial-off-the-shelf solvent-borne epoxy-based paints have been previously approved for use in submarine applications. Typically, these coatings are spray applied and the non-skid aggregate is broadcast over the paint prior to cure. Failures frequently occur and are due to poor match of thermal expansion due to the nature of the substrates, such as the submarine special hull treatment. ...

The goal of the BRAMS effort is to develop a Blood Reserve Availability Assessment, Tracking, and Management System that will supplement the Joint Medical Asset Repository (JMAR) by allowing users to manually enter data via a web-based system. The BRAMS Phase I effort successfully developed a web interface for collecting blood data and exporting that blood data to JMAR in the format specified by ...
