A Portable Laser Device for Remote Filler Identification
SBC: AAC International Topic: DTRA122012The proposed SBIR research (Phase I and II) is devoted to developing a laser-based acousto-ultrasonic system for inspection of sealed containers. The system represents a promising technology for improving safety management in anti-terrorism and treaty compliance operations. The system will use a pulsed laser to excite the container and a laser Doppler vibrometer for long stand-off vibratory (ult ...

Model Driven Autonomous System Demonstration and Experimentation Workbench
SBC: Adept Analytics, LLC Topic: OSD12AU2To achieve high-level strategic goals, DoD elements are investigating the potential of adding autonomy to unmanned assets. An autonomous system must be able to amend its"pre-loaded"plan by rapidly assessing the current situation, examining a number of possible outcomes, initiating a course of action and continuing to reassess its decisions and plan. Currently, data needed for training autonomous m ...

Conformable Thermal Ground Plane
SBC: i2C Solutions, LLC Topic: DTRA122002Miniaturized smart munitions are seeing increasing use across all branches of the Department of Defense (DoD) in order to meet the ever evolving mission needs for the U.S. warfighter. These smart micromuntions have been enabled by advances in capabilities and miniaturization of critical microelectonic and microelectromechanical systems such as sensor, navigational, communications, and triggering ...

Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) Effects for Fully and Partially Buried Structures
SBC: PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC Topic: DTRA122005Protection Engineering Consultants (PEC) proposes to develop a coarse-grain neural network modeling approach for efficient simulation of shock propagation through geological media including soil-structure interaction. In the coarse-grain approach, fast-running computational elements are developed which are an order of magnitude larger than typical FE elements, and the elements are driven by neura ...

Reactive Structural Materials for Enhanced Blasts
SBC: Matsys Incorporated Topic: DTRA122008MATSYS proposes to develop reactive materials compositions and processing techniques for structural reactive composites for blast enhancement. This effort will combine our unique expertise in instrumented-Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) with new approaches in reactive materials design to develop a new generation of cost-efficient and highly reactive materials. The proposed material system will use ...

Low Ground Clearance Vehicle Detection and Warning System
SBC: Advanced Technology And Research Corporation Topic: 131FR1Highway-rail crossing, at which there is an unusually abrupt change in the level of the road's surface as it crosses the tracks, pose a risk of low ground clearance vehicles becoming stuck on the tracks. Advanced Technology and Research Corporation (ATR) proposes to develop an active detection and advance warning system. The system has three major functional componenets: measurement, decision, ...

Tracking of heavy vehicles for estimating heavy load distribution across the highway system and Weigh-In-Motion Calibration
SBC: CLR ANALYTICS INC. Topic: 122FH4Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) has been employed as a major technology to collect heavy vehicles’ data on the freeways. Because WIM is one of the most costly and sophisticated data collection system, how to effectively utilize the valuable WIM data, monitor WIM stations' performance, and identify out of calibration stations are especially important. In this project, we propose an innovative and yet pract ...

Creating Spatial Disorientation in Flight Simulation
SBC: Continuum Dynamics Inc Topic: 122FA1Training in the symptoms of Spatial Disorientation (SD) has shown to be valuable in aiding pilots to recognize its onset and provide a means for mitigating its effects, but such demonstrations have traditionally been associated with specialized equipment and devices. Since the vast majority of pilots for the commercial aviation jet fleet are trained (or recertified) on 6-degree-of-freedom (DOF) h ...

Low Ground Clearance Vehicle Detection and Warning System
SBC: INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION, INC. Topic: 131FR1The problem of low ground clearance vehicles being stuck at tracks of highway-rail grade crossings (HRGC) poses a severe safety risk. Vehicles with long wheelbases and low ground clearance are more likely to be stuck on high-profile HRGCs. Currently there is no commercially available automated system that detects and computes the necessary critical dimensions of low ground clearance vehicles (LGCV ...
