Botts Innovative Research, Inc (Botts, Inc.) proposes to conduct a feasibility study to assess the art of the possible as it relates to the use of the open source, open standards based OpenSensorHub (OSH) (www.OpenSensorHub.org) for the integration between the sensors and robots of Hyper Enabled Operators (HEO), their units, and their mission command, to provide battlespace awareness at the tactic ...

Emergent Healthcare Solutions proposes to research the feasibility of a dynamic cloud-based incident Intelligence System called Emergent Cloud. Emergent Cloud is an application service providing firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians access to an interactive incident roadmap and real-time workflow and record keeping. The general aim of the proposed project is to revolutionize the user expe ...

We address a need of the neutron user community by creating a minimum viable prototype of the only high-throughput hydrostatic pressure small angle neutron scattering sample environment (HTHP-SANS-SE). Our HTHP-SANS-SE will greatly improve the ease of use and reliability of measurements under extreme environments, thereby increasing throughput on the beamline and expanding feasibility. Current HP- ...

The vision of Weather Ready Nation is achieved through the synthesis of the large number of NOAA products and services into meaningful and actionable information for community stakeholders and individual populations. The challenge is an increasing desire from these stakeholders and populations for forecast confidence and quantification of uncertainty in weather forecast products. Many community st ...

"We will demonstrate the feasibility of a novel cloud type identification system that uses a voice application to collect surface observations. This capability meets NOAA’s mission to understand and predict changes in climate, weather, oceans, and coasts and to share that knowledge and information with others . Many weather observing stations have replaced human observations with weather satelli ...

In this Phase I effort, CFD Research proposes the creation of a lightning services API using data from the GOES-16/17 Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) and the development of valued-added lightning initiation and cessation products. Leveraging CFD Research’s experience in software and API development and atmospheric sciences for lightning research applications, this API will provide a simplif ...

Develop an innovative tactical active anti-fogging goggle or spectacle in a smaller form factor than traditional goggles.

There is an acute need for a networked chemical sensor that is inexpensive enough to allow it to be treated as a disposable item - deployed and left in-place until the end of its useful life, or until operations move out of communications range. Electrochemical microarray sensors can be fabricated at low enough unit cost to make the development of a disposable sensor node feasible. These sensors ...

We propose to develop a novel nanofluidic-based biosensor system that precisely detects and quantifies the biological threat agent. This handheld portable device will consume little power, be ruggedly constructed, use tiny sample volumes, and be UAV-mountable. No commercially available system uses the proposed technology. The proposed system will separate the genomic contents from a population ...

Our solution to the automated feature extraction problem will leverage the material properties that can be inferred from combining multispectral imagery with high resolution elevation data or LIDAR data using a trainable knowledge base. Multiple imaging bands provide a more complete picture of the material involved than ordinary RGB. This can help distinguish between a green grass lawn and a gre ...
