Solution Engineering, Inc. (SEI) proposes to develop and demonstrate a prototype real time tracking system that supports robust multiple target tracking in an urban environment.  The approach will focus on increasing the robustness of the core feature tracking algorithms, utilizing target invariant characteristics to extend the ability to track, coast, and reacquire targets.  In addition higher ...

The micro-satellite cluster is a revolutionary technology with potential to transform the way we view and deploy space-based applications. Tightly-coupled, highly autonomous satellite clusters promise enhanced mission capabilities and marked reductions inoperational costs. However, ground-based data-processing and control present obstacles to the full realization of this technology.CleverSet prop ...

The Feather Weight Display is a novel design and integration of industrially mature technologies including ultra-density silicon circuits with ultra-dense chip-to-chip interconnections, ultra-density VCSEL arrays, nonlinear photonic upconverting colormaterials, and nonlinear optical elements. To demonstrate its potential is primarily a design process. Design of emissive and virtual retinal devic ...

The threat posed by remote cyber attacks has grown every year, with nation state attacks being the hardest to detect and blunt. A common cyber attack method against remote systems is the code injection attack, where the attacker finds flaws in a remote application then forces the application to execute injected code. Code injection attacks can give the attacker unlimited access to the attacked sys ...

The European Union''s RoHS and WEE Directives mandated the elimination of the carcinogenic, hexavalent chromium coatings for metals, including magnesium and zinc-nickel plated substrates.  The purpose of this project is to find chemistry that will meet requirements of industry performance specifications and of the mandate.  METALAST intends to explore trivalent chromium in conjunction with two o ...

The key to realization of an integrated Enhanced Vision System is the development of an economical and compact processor that can perform real-time adaptive, multi-imager fusion and ground-map correlation. We achieve statistically appropriate (Bayesian)operations in real time using a self-organizing,

The main objective of the proposed Phase I project is to leverage the technology of THz generation in resonantly pumped QPM GaAs structures jointly developed by Stanford University and Microtech Instruments, Inc. and identify the best approach for product development activities planned for Phase II of the project. While high THz power, good efficiency and tunability across 0.5-4 THz range has been ...

Existing flight planning systems, to the extent that they optimize routes at all, optimize individual flights in isolation. Airspace, air traffic, or diplomatic constraints, among others, may preclude all flights taking their individually optimal routes,however. Planners must then manually reroute some flights. This effort will apply OTS' strengths in flight planning and optimization to develop ...

The primary goal of the proposed Phase II SBIR effort is to develop and fabricate high-speed interconnects utilizing GaAs-based monolithic switching modules and hybrid waveguides in order to relieve the chip-to-chip interconnect bottleneck. The switchingmodules include VCSELs and resonant cavity photodetectors with on-chip multiplexing/demultiplexing. These high-speed interconnects are realized ...

The primary goal of the proposed Phase I SBIR effort is to develop high channel-density interconnect modules for use in air platforms. This will be accomplished using a unique, monolithic, WDM, optoelectronic module that has a high interconnect density,small form-factor, and is rugged enough to withstand harsh operating environments. OptiComp Corporation occupies a 7,000 square foot facility, wh ...
