This Phase II SBIR will create a new generation of position sensors with unprecedented performance in terms of dynamic range, accuracy, data rates and latency. Dramatic improvements in the performance of optical beam control systems for high precision pointing, tracking and lead-ahead targeting will follow. Jitter in line-of-sight image stabilization systems can be reduced by a factor of 20 relati ...

The Elicitor tool developed under this SBIR will significantly reduce the time and manpower necessary to effectively elicit, characterize and analyze stakeholder needs. It will enable effective requirements generation and allocation to appropriate baselines, and it will reduce redundant efforts among the intended uses a system. By design, the tool directly addresses the understood requirement th ...

Emerging infrared (IR) sensor assets will play a crucial role in creating a robust and flexible Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) because they are more easily deployed in forward-based and/or space-based environments, providing coverage of threats beyond the range of terrestrial sensors, and enabling launch-on-remote or engage-on-remote firing doctrines that extend the range of weapons syste ...
