The U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has identified a need to develop a miniature unmanned air vehicle (MUAV) that can be launched from an airborne platform by a single crewman and subsequently transmit real-time video images for gathering intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) information. The MUAV will provide real-time combat identification information in difficult to ob ...

Military ground mobility vehicles often operate in areas of high heat with no environmental conditioning systems for cooling the individual soldier or critical vehicle electronic systems. Typical vehicle climate control systems are large refrigerant-based systems that are not man portable. SOCOM has expressed a desire for cooling equipment that is man portable for short periods (~ 3 hours). Thi ...

In this Phase I effort, Global Technical Systems (GTS) proposes to research and develop a concept for a lightweight airborne Universal Longwire Antenna Module (ULAM) to be used for broadcasting Psychological Operations (PSYOPS) in the commercial AM and Short Wave bands at high or low power. The lightweight design enables installation on a wide variety of manned and unmanned aircraft.

Using Polyshok patented technology, Polyshok, Inc. will complete the development of the high performance door breaching round started in Phase I and make it production ready. In addition the manufacturing technology will be developed to produce this 12 gauge ammunition on commercial high speed loading equipment. All M1030 US Army 12 gauge Door Breaching performance requirements will be met as par ...

Three trailing wire antenna concepts will be evaluated to find the design which best meets the requirements of the solicitation. Operational and design experience with the widely-used dual trailing wire antenna will represent the starting point for this analysis. Concepts for a single trailing wire, which will have wider applicability will also be studied. A third concept, using a more unique ...

For this Phase I SBIR project, we will identify promising, task-based instructional strategies for teaching foreign languages and cultures using authentic, interactive training vignettes. Using a standards-based framework for authoring and delivery, we will create proof-of-concept vignettes that place the learners in realistic situations in which they must try to elicit information from, or influ ...

Formulate a low risk, design, development and produceablility plan for a lighweight, high performance fixed focal length and stepped zoom lenses suitable for visible and near IR imaging applications, such applications will include intensified direct viewing devices and man portable, day/intensified night video surveillance systems. Primary emphasis will be directed to maximum long range target sur ...

A SOF Tactical Repeater will be a small, rugged, lightweight, programmable, easily deployed, software radio repeater that can be awakened via RF, by an authorized user, from a passive sleep mode. One or more antennae should be deployed away from RF shadowing, with line of sight to all users. In Phase I, Lambda Science will develop emplacement / antenna deployment methods, standby / wake-up metho ...

The purpose of this project is to save the lives of our fighting men and women. SOCOM will reach this objective by identifying a feasible process, which will demonstrate that extending the life of small arm weapons components and barrels is possible. Developing such product is vital because it will provide the war fighters with a reliable weapon on which they could depend in the most austere env ...

Since the inception of windscreens on aircraft, the effects of erosion on the transparent materials utilized for this application has been problematic. With the development of faster aircraft, Night Vision Goggles and various sensors which utilize electromagnetic waves in the visible and IR ranges this problem has been intensified. The team at United Protective Technologies, propose to provide dat ...
