NextGen Federal Systems (NextGen), a Small Business Concern (SBC), is excited to propose a powerful software package, coupled database, and a machine-learning (ML) workflow to support streamlined evaluation and research-to-operations (R2O) of space weather ML models and techniques. In response to the NOAA Effect of Space Weather subtopic (NOAA SBIR 9.5), we propose the Machine Intelligence for Spa ...

Soldiers conducting missions on foot in remote locations must carry multiple battery powered electronic devices, such as multiband radio sets, night vision goggles and scopes, GPS tracking, thermal imagers, target designators, etc. These devices allow soldiers to target, move, and communicate in the modern battlefield. Depending upon the type of mission and its duration, soldiers might not have th ...

Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms play an increasingly important role in modern warfare.The goal of providing timely and actionable information to the warfighter can be greatly facilitated by the ability to simultaneously collect multiple types of sensor data.Imaging one target without losing track of another target can mean the difference between mission success and m ...

TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: The objective of this project is to research the technical feasibility of designing a software tool “Permit Wizard” that will automate the process for aquamarine permit application submittal, review, approval/disapproval and issue (including collection of fees). Aquaculture producers are currently faced with slow, complex, and often confusing permitting processes that must ...

A new dual pump hydraulic supply designed to enable energetically autonomous exoskeleton robots will be developed, tested and demonstrated. This new hydraulic supply will be integrated with a high performance hydraulically actuated full body exoskeleton robot and used to test and demonstrate the overall performances of such systems. New control policies that include: (i) an assist mode, where the ...

The United States Special Operations Command needs the capability to conduct intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance from airborne assets. The Governments objective is to develop an extended range radar prototype system that can track personnel and vehicles in all-weather conditions, during the day and at night, with a Ground Moving Target Indicator and to image personnel or vehicles throu ...

Additive manufacturing lacks efficient, composable physics-based computational frameworks to predict quality and performance for arbitrary geometry, orientation, location and process parameter combinations. A new set of composable computational tools capable of accurately predicting the geometrical accuracy, residual stress and microstructure of the parts made using metal based AM has been develop ...

3DSIM will provide a solution to additive manufacturing’s lack of efficient, composable physics-based computational frameworks to predict quality and performance for arbitrary geometry, orientation, location and process parameter combinations. A new set of composable computational tools capable of accurately predicting the geometrical accuracy, residual stress and microstructure of the parts mad ...

Oscilla Power, Inc. (OPI) is developing a utility-scale wave energy harvester that is enabled by low cost and readily-available magnetostrictive alloys. T his device, which utilizes no moving parts, has the potential to deliver predictable quantities of electric power to coastal utilities, industrial users, and remote facilities at costs competitive with coal or gas. The Phase I project demonstra ...

Role-based workflow (RBW) is a NIST invention that used RBAC technology to implement workflow, with the goal of making workflow easier to maintain and more secure. At this time, Virtual Global has completed a Phase I SBIR effort, in which computer software was created to automate the invention in the form of web services. The Phase I effort was successful in proving the feasibility of the inventio ...
