Accurate Automation will design and build a Multiple Engagement Autonomous Neutralizer (MEAN) System that will allow an EOD team to quickly and safely engage multiple IEDs from a safe area. This design exceeds capabilities of any current system because it will allow the technician to preload the system with at least 8 shots, attach it to a robot, drive the robot down range where the device can be ...

Accurate Automation Corporation proposes to develop a high power switch with a laser trigger to minimize pulse-to-pulse jitter. The switch will incorporate carbon nanotube electrodes for long life and high current capacity. The initial design of the switch will provide switching of up to 25 kV DC. The integral control of the switch will allow multiple switches to be triggered simultaneously or in ...

Computational models of rat and pig heads will be developed and validated against pressure data available from previously conducted shock tube experiments by simulating complex blast interaction in a verified and validated shock tube numerical model. Finite Element and Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian techniques will be utilized. Available injury data will be examined in regions of interest generat ...

OneSAF is rapidly becoming a centerpiece for many training simulations in the Army, amongst other reasons, for its ability to interoperate with many different protocols and packages. It only makes sense, given this central position, to examine the possibility of connecting the myriad of medical training systems to OneSAF, to see what emerges. To realize this possibility, a standard means of conn ...

Malware spreading from unprotected USB ports has been increasing for several years, resulting in a complete ban on using USB external devices on Army computers. As administrators have locked down auto-execute on Windows and other OSes, attackers have changed to spoofing hardware components, opening multiple devices (allowable under USB specs), and even exploiting holes in kernel drivers be sending ...

A good method for improving the survivability of soldiers on the ground is to help ensure that threats can be eliminated quickly before posing a significant threat. One way to accomplish this is to ensure that shots fired by soldiers hit targets quickly and efficiently. A soldier’s preference is to impact the target with the first shot. However, there is a complex set of factors that dictate whe ...

The US Army has underscored the importance of developing more effective obscurant material for shielding US soldiers and their equipment from visible, microwave, and infrared observation. Current separation techniques tend to allow the nano-particles to agglomerate at higher density than desired for efficient obscurant devices. ElectroDynamic Applications, Inc. (EDA) in partnership with the Univ ...

EMAG Technologies’ Phase II SBIR proposal addresses the United States Army’s need for a mobile tracking system capable of providing real-time Time Space Position Information (TSPI) for small missiles, rockets, aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for use on test ranges across the country. Our proposed system overcomes the limitations faced by current radar systems used to tr ...

This SBIR project addresses the Army’s need for development of a high performance, low cost, reduced size, weight and power consumption (SWaP) beam steering array antenna that operates at the Ku-band frequency range with multiple simultaneous beam capability. During the course of the proposed Phase II effort, EMAG Technologies will design, fabricate and test a Ku-Band antenna capable of ope ...

Modern robotic applications utilize a myriad of actuator types to meet the different task requirements. The primary actuator types include electric, hydraulic/pneumatic, Shape Memory Alloy, and piezoelectric. Most, if not all, current robotic actuation methods have limited power density for supplying the large forces, displacements, and bandwidths required. Electromechanical and hydraulic systems ...
