"A military combat unit must "see" the battlefield better than the enemy, decide sooner than the enemy what to do, "move" to fight effectively and "shoot" to destroy the enemy. As the US Army moves toward weapons systems for the digital battlefield, newer,lighter weight and more capable hardware is emerging. These digital systems may not realize better "seeing", that is, situational awareness. Co ...

"In response to Small Business Innovative Research solicitation A01-207, 21CSI is pleased to propose the development of a proof-of-concept software decision aid that aggregates space objects into a single, integrated space picture. Our decision aid,SituSpace, will be built from the bottom up to support the theater commander and his staff with a visual depiction of the space portion of the battles ...

"The goals of an enhanced mobile infantry, a weapons system that leaves the warrior with his whole mind free to handle his weapons and notice what is going on around him, as expressed in Heinlein's timeless Starship Troopers is becoming a reality todaythrough the innovative progress being made by the U.S. Army's 21st Century Land Warrior program. However, the current Land Warrior system does not ...

"3D-IC proposes to develop design specifications for a 12 megapixel 1000 frame / second digital output imager. The proposed design will be based on using a monolithic substrate for the photosensor array that is engineered to achieve high quantum efficiencyand good spectral response in visible light. The company proposes to investigate adaptation of its proprietary pixel-parallel processor core arc ...

"R3 Logic, Incorporated proposes to develop a high-resolution, 12M-pixel 1000 frame / s imager to meet the Army's digital imaging needs for weapons test and evaluation. Through this program, R3 Logic will not only build and demonstrate a high-resolutionimager, but will formulate a new methodology for commercially viable fabrication of large-format focal plane arrays. Large focal plane digital imag ...

"The objective of this proposal is to create an innovative bioinformatics system for the management and analysis of microarray data. It will be a new generation of informatics system that goes well beyond any system presently available. The system will notonly allow users to track the generation of data with a flexible laboratory information management system (LIMS), but it will also allow users t ...

"The overall goal of the proposed program is to provide military personnel with a hand-held analyzer capable of detecting chemical and biological agents, as well as toxic industrial chemicals. This will be accomplished through the use of a newnanocomposite material (metal-doped sol-gel) that enhances analyte specific Raman signals sufficiently to allow identifying and quantifying agents at releva ...

"Military field feeding operations require an easily transportable and energy-efficient system to recycle the greywater produced in ware washing. A multiple-effect evaporator is proposed that will distill the greywater, heated by a diesel/JP-8 powered oilburner or other available liquid/vapor heating medium. It is designed to recover at least 90% of the greywater as potable hot water or steam to ...

"Microscale power technologies have the potential to fill an emerging military need for portablepower generation at the 500 W level for the Objective Force dismounted soldier. This requires,however, scale-up of these technologies to the 500 W level and the ability of the technologies touse logistics fuels. Aerodyne Research, Inc. has developed a linearly-oscillating miniatureinternal combustion e ...

"Cadmium zinc telluride is the room temperature detector of choice for non-destructive imaging applications. Monolithic CZT arrays with high count-rate capability (>1e+6 cps/pixel) are required for ultra-fast hyperspectral x-ray imaging. Presently, theyield of CZT detector arrays that can perform hyperspectral imaging (in milliseconds) is low. Most monolithic arrays suffer from "polarization" w ...
