ABOM has developed a novel active anti-fog technology platform that has solved the problem of eyewear fogging. These fog-free and ballistics-rated polycarbonate lenses provide the individual soldier with sustained distant visual acuity and improved situational awareness. Under this proposed SBIR Phase I project, ABOM will perform evaluation and feasibility studies for four proposed Military Combat ...

TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: InnovaPrep proposes to develop a rapid sample-to-answer monitoring system for detecting pathogens in marine aquaculture waters. An assessment of industry needs will include a kickoff meeting with NOAA and a visit to Toby Island Bay Oyster Farm. Following the assessment and report, a TRL-4 breadboard prototype system will be developed that will include the combination of sample ...

Corvid Technologies presents the following proposal to the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) SBIR solicitation MDA17-009 entitled Radar Cross Section (RCS) Testing for Modeling and Simulations. Here, we propose the development of algorithms and processes to significantly reduce the burden and cost associated with RCS measurements conducted in support of MDA and other Department of Defense customers. Th ...

Corvid Technologies proposes to develop a real-time trajectory generation and optimization tool for integration into hypervelocity projectile (HVP) weapon systems. This technology will use the massively parallel computing power of graphics processing units (GPUs) to perform numerous simulations of HVP shots in short runtimes. The GPU based trajectory simulation tool will include a full six degree- ...

Vadum will develop an algorithm to generate and optimize Hypervelocity Projectile (HVP) trajectories as both an analysis and tactical battle management tool. The Optimal Advanced HVP Trajectory System (OATHS) will respond to threat track updates as they are received from upstream processing elements and will be capable of optimizing trajectories for a variety of different threat types with differe ...

Corvid Technologies proposes to develop a process to optimize an HVP warhead for the destruction of ballistic missile re-entry vehicles (BMRV) using high fidelity modeling and simulation techniques.The concept for the proposed design is to dispense a spatial array of dense metal long rod penetrators (LRP) of varying lengths and masses into the path of an incoming re-entry vehicle.A variety of LRP ...

SOCOM seeks an innovative, computationally efficient, and automated process that uses high-resolution, still-frame images and/or Full Motion Video, collected from handheld devices, to generate 3D models of building interiors.The ability to use handheld inputs for 3D modeling, at its fundamental level, is a core interest for computer vision and photogrammetric engineering. Hence, the solution will ...

In this PhaseII SBIR effort, Corvid Technologies completes the development of an innovative approach for solving Unstructured Fixed Grid Navier-Stokes CFD flow simulations. The proposed approach developed at Corvid is referred to as the Virtual Geometry Insertion (VGI) technique. This approach allows for the virtual insertion of arbitrary geometric components into a standard CFD analysis. This g ...

Atmospheric disturbances are a major performance-limiting factor in long-range optical systems. In particular, for the Airborne Laser (ABL) the ability of distinguish targets from a long distance is crucial for mission success. Despite the progress in optics and sensor technology, blurring in long-range imaging caused by atmospheric movements and density changes will remain an issue. Digital si ...

A recently developed nonlinear controller called theta-D and the Higher Order Sliding Mode (HOSM) control are the centerpiece around which an Integrated Guidance and Control (IGC) scheme and a nonlinear filter technique are built to enhance the lethality of hit-to-kill interceptors and offer a means to increase the maneuver ratio advantage. This proposal includes the development of a 6DOF based I ...
