In this work, we propose a heterogeneous computing system which can seamlessly integrate with the COTS part and provide design hardening against radiation without modifying the inherent design of the COTS part. In Phase I, we worked on the base design of proposed heterogeneous computing system using a digital COTS part as circuit under test (CUT). A machine learning based intelligent mathematical ...

PolyMaterials App, LLC (PolyMaterials) proposes to develop a supercapacitor cell suited for MDA applications after a very successful Phase I and Phase II effort addressing topic number MDA19-007, “Supercapacitor Nano-architecture Using Bio-carbon-based Materials Derived from Plant Cellulose”. The primary objective of this 2nd Phase II proposal is to transition PolyMaterials’ supercapacitor, ...

While the last decade has seen explosive growth in the number of small satellites being launched into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for a variety of use-cases, there is a critical need to increase the degree of autonomy through use of “edge intelligence” for data processing and fusion on the collection platform itself (vs. transmitting large amounts of raw information to the ground for “after-the-fa ...

This research aims to develop decision support tools for better maintenance and planning of renewable energy generation and storage assets using atmospheric, local weather, and on-ground environmental data blended with site-, regional- and national-generation data. The study will use a combination of these data to understand the relationship between non-cloud cover based atmospheric conditions and ...

The Orbital Wildfire Resilience (OWR) project comprises the innovative combination of MyRadar’s miniaturized satellite technology, onboard Artificial Intelligence (AI) processing, and wide-reaching dissemination platform to improve the wildfire hazard resilience of stakeholders. This research facilitates the development of new MyRadar commercial alerting, nowcasting, and satellite imagery produc ...

Ocean ecosystems are critical to the regulation of Earth’s climate and biodiversity, while also hosting a range of direct and indirect benefits to people, from being a food source to recreation. Coastal ocean systems are dynamic regions especially rich in diverse biological and geochemical interactions. However, major gaps exist in our knowledge of the primary biogeochemical processes and the fa ...

Electronic monitoring (EM) represents a promising opportunity for fishery management of the future. Yet after nearly two decades of implementation less than 1% of the world’s fishing fleet are able to participate in these programs. Cost remains a key barrier to the implementation of these programs and the primary cost drivers are manual video review, data transmission and data storage. Our SBIR ...
