Our objective is to develop and demonstrate an integrated capability to perform dynamic retasking of enterprise wide management of OPIR, radar, and other operationally relevant sensors. The goals of this effort are to refine our existing OPIR tasking approach and to develop and Enterprise SRM approach that will allow the C2BMC to achieve the earliest possible launch detection and maintain the high ...

Reservoir Labs and Johns Hopkins University will develop alternative numerical solution techniques that improve computational loading, data storage, and data integrity for rocket vehicle trajectory modeling in MDA federated simulations.The objective of this program is to develop new techniques for trajectory propagation that are more suited for use in federated simulations than traditional methods ...

Synoptic approach to harmonize discrete data streams in application development 3/20/2018 Purchasing a new or used vehicle can be an exciting, but overwhelming experience. Numerous websites contain information on vehicle safety features, makes and models, cost, history, recalls, and crash and repair records. This large amount of data and its dispersed nature makes for a daunting consumer expe ...

Combined Cleaning and Guided Wave Inspection System for Hazardous Liquid Pipelines 3/20/2018 For this SBIR we will develop a machine vision system which uses onboard standard-resolution cameras in vehicles to identify and read barcode signs on the roadside. The proposed approach could provide a low-cost solution that make connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technology viable for rural areas ...

The objective of the proposal is to conduct theoretical research and development related to the expedited radar cross section (RCS) testing to determine the merit and technical feasibility of proposed concept. In Phase I ANDRO/Alion team proposes adapting techniques drawn from real-time electronic warfare counter-measure systems, multi-threat response and characterization where direct use of short ...

While the applications of a three dimensional coordinate measurement system are diverse, such a system will be particularly useful in reporting driver hand position and head movement coordinates. The coordinate information is used to evaluate driver behavior and performance in the new generation of instrumented vehicles where the driver engages in manipulation of specific equipment. Having devel ...

We propose to continue our development of a non-invasive probe of the electrical quality of semiconductor wafers. This technique can be used to screen wafers or to ascertain total impact of specific process steps; it may serve as a routine qualification of some processes. Modern manufacturing technology requires an increasingly detailed statistical summary of the impact of processes on devices. No ...

A substantial effort has been devoted to finding a gamma-ray detector that can achieve a high count rate with high sensitivity and provide good energy resolution while operating at room temperature. Room temperature operation avoids the need for expensive and cumbersome cryogenic technology. This need for cryogenics is especially constraining in the need for portable detectors in remote locations, ...

Materials and Technologies Corp. (M&T) proposes an effort to show feasibility and provide initial characterization of a new method to produce large area SiC-on-insulator (SICOI) compliant substrates for low defect lattice matched wide bandgap semiconductor growth. There is currently no effective approach to fabricate large area, high quality, compliant SiC substrates of the required thickness and ...
