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 ...

Team Mystic Spear will identify and procure a best-in-class software package capable of identifying, interrogating, extracting, correlating, and fusing data from sensors into a standard dashboard of USSOCOM’s choosing. We will also discuss APIs and all things access with smaller Smart Cities that also have Port facilities to determine any less obvious sensor/data feeds. From this research we wil ...

Seafood consumption in the United States has reached over 50% per capita over the last 25 years with over 75% of total U.S. seafood consumption coming from import. Many of the U.S. seafood import sources are located in tropical areas where bacteria and toxin hazards thrive. This concern is exacerbated by the increasing trade deficit. In 2001, the United States imported $6.8 billion more than expor ...

The primary goal of this research is to advance flood extent delineation modeling by enhancing the ability of the modeling community to access and utilize the forecasts and reanalysis products of the National Water Model. One of the most difficult challenges facing stakeholders in the flood inundation domain is the lack of easily accessible tools to query and process the large and complex datasets ...

Corvid Technologies will develop a system capable of being activated after emplacement to conduct follow-on operations using a micro precision flyout vehicle with long loiter time to ensure the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) can conduct their mission. Current unmanned ground sensors do not have the ability to sense and activate a system to conduct a mission within minutes in permissive/non ...

Alpha and beta particle detectors currently employed in field operations suffer from frequent damage to the aluminized mylar window on the face of the detector.  To address this deficiency, Corvid Technologies, LLC proposes a new type of alpha and beta particle detector that replaces the aluminized mylar window with a permanent layer of epoxy and carbon nanoparticles. In Phase I, Corvid demonstra ...

DTRA’s mission requires finding the match between the research and definition of explosive’s formulation and warhead performance properties and the defining of the expected explosive effects to defeat target structures (e.g., produce fragmentation, perform some chemical, biological defeats) which are different target effects than “simply blowing things up” (e.g., fragmentation).  Even in ...

The importance of weather and climate variability forecasts in the U.S. is amply demonstrated by the billions of dollars appropriated annually for the NWS and for surface, air, and satellite observations and by the existence of a vibrant private weather enterprise delivering value-added forms of NWS information to a wide range of public and private users. We have loyal customers in the energy sect ...

A generalized network topology-aware algorithm has been developed that efficiently maps structured and unstructured domains onto available nodes to minimize MPI message passing costs. The methodology utilizes sub-domain inter-dependency information, readily available from standard domain decomposition codes, along with a simulated annealing optimization technique to automatically assign sub-blocks ...
