The proposed foveation-based video and infra-red broad-spectrum streaming technology will provide a novel all-time all-weather surveillance capability. This highly scalable technology will allow low cost object tracking and searching capabilities in compressed domain. The technology will be deployable over IP and wireless networks allowing wide coverage based on broad spectrum sensors.

During warfare, strikes made with surgical precision by Special Operations Forces reduce collateral damage and loss of life among non-combatants and have become the expectation of our war-fighters. Such strikes, however, require the ability to survey the target area in a timely fashion and guide munitions accurately. High altitude photographs taken by satellites and orbiting aircraft often lack ...

We propose to prove the feasibility of a high speed non ionizing time domain terahertz (THz) measurement system to replace nuclear gauges. Nuclear source gauges (such as beta and gamma) are used in industrial process monitoring and control, often to measure thickness or mass in paper, plastics, rubber, and food stuffs in manufacturing and packaging. A single system based on low power non-ionizing ...

The objective of this proposal is to design and develop an innovative smoke/obscurant system that can be used to provide smoke from either an individual deployment, hand-held 40mm or 60mm grenade, or a vehicle mounted area grenade projector that uses the same grenade and will provide sufficient obscurant protection to conceal a team or vehicles.This SBIR requests that a single smoke/obscurant gren ...

The successful development of an acoustic mouthpiece based audio in formation system for rebreathing apparatus will revolutionize military, professional, and recreational diving. The system proposed provides the diver with voice and tonal audio imformation regarding depth, bottom time, tank pressure, gas mixture data, time, temperature, and any other critical information which is available from ...

VANADOUS FORMATE IS USED IN THE LOMI PROCESS FOR CHEMICAL DECONTAMINATION OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS TO REDUCE THE EXPOSURE TO RADIATION BY PLANT PERSONNEL. IN THIS PROCESS, VANADOUS FORMATE IS USED TO PARTIALLY REDUCE IRON AND NICKEL OXIDES THAT CONTAIN RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS, PRIMARILY COBALT OXIDE. THESE METALS ARE THEN CHELATED IN SOLUTION, ABSORBED ON ION EXCHANGE RESINS, SOLIDIFIED AND BURIED. T ...
