Vadum will continue improving MATCH (Multimodal AcousTic Characterization of Hoax calls), an innovative machine learning system that automatically monitors maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) VHF channel(s).Vadum showed feasibility for the system and developed key components in a six-month Phase I effort.In Phase II, Vadum will further develop and refine MATCH into a real-time prototype that continuo ...

In Phase II project, Bhawin LLC aims to fabricate the current concept of solid-state Li-ion battery fabricating a single continuous phase for the anode, electrolyte, and cathode, and thus, eliminating the highly resistive interfaces between the electrolyte and electrodes found in straight solid-state Li-ion batteries. Advanced Li-ion battery technology will play a critical role in the understandin ...

WISER Systems, Inc. is a small, woman-owned, disadvantaged business providing best-in-class real-time location systems (RTLS) for nearly any environment. WISER’s RTLS powers applications in aerospace, manufacturing, warehousing, yard management, and many other industries. Unlike GPS-based solutions, WISER’s Redundant Radio Localization and Tracking (RRLT) technology enables autonomous position ...

In Phase I we developed a software capability for predicting the future positions of ocean drifters. We demonstrated the capability to predict drift for objects of varying shapes and train models based on historical observations. In Phase II we will leverage this software to perform high volume experimentation through which we will fully develop trained models using historical data for both passiv ...

Special Operations Forces (SOF) Operators face high cognitive loads while performing various mission threads, including making complicated decisions and maintaining situation awareness in a dynamic battlespace. This can involve managing equipment (sensors and effectors), maintaining awareness of the environment, developing courses of action (COAs) that comply with rules of engagement (ROEs), and e ...

MagPlasma proposes a single pass system that will collect and remove infectious particles exhaled by vehicle passengers before their concentration can reach an infectious dose level in confined spaces. Our system will capture single or multiple passengers breathing zone air; continuously filter and actively purify the air stream to reduce contagion loading; and exhaust the treated effluent air str ...

Device Solutions and Wireless Research Center teamed to develop a prototype digital paging system for emergency responders using public television ATSC 3.0.Leveraging open standards, broadcast and public safety infrastructure, modern network devices, and new wireless electronics, our approach is to provide responders and incident commanders with improved pager coverage and capacity, quicker dispat ...

Handheldmillimeter wave (mm-wave) advanced threat detection and imaging prototypes will be designed, tested, and delivered. The advanced detection/imaging wands incorporate a low cost frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar linear array to image concealed non-metallic and metallic threats on personnel. The advanced detection/imaging wand may be used for aviation passenger screening as a p ...

The decline of coral reefs can be feasibly reversed by introducing coral transplants that are stabilized via adhesion to substrates. An adhesive is under development to safely and economically improve the speed and success rate of stabilizing coral transplants. This adhesive comprises a bioactive inorganic and an organic polymer constituent that function synergistically to enable rapid and control ...

A prototyping effort is being proposed to develop methods and tools for utilizing structures of opportunity as efficient radiations in the HF, VHF and UHF bands.
