Develop an electrified technology for non-potable reuse of septic tank effluent
SBC: J-TECH LLC Topic: 1ASeptic systems, widely used by >25% of U.S. households, represent a 6-billion-dollar market with a 5-7% projected growth rate. There is growing interest in non-potable reuse of septic tank effluent, yet existing disinfection methods are either costly (e.g., UV) or require households to handle hazardous chemicals (e.g., chlorine tablets). This project will validate a promising septic tank technolog ...

A high-speed, low cost, machine learning enhanced, hyperspectral imaging system for improved identification of microplastics
SBC: SPORIAN MICROSYSTEMS, INC Topic: 1BMicroplastics are environmental pollutants ubiquitous in marine and freshwater environments and have been established to have deleterious impacts on aquatic life and human health. Preventing Microplastics from getting into waterways or removing it once it is there, is the mission of EPA’s Trash Free Waters program and, as the production of plastics continues to grow, EPA is looking for innovativ ...

Design and Alpha Test of In-water Collection and Removal of Floating Debris System
SBC: D & D Products Incorporated Topic: 1CD&D Products Inc. will design and develop an in-situ floating debris capture device. The device will be located at the edge of a stream, canal or similar waterbody. Floating booms will be attached to the device, and the waterway current will guide debris along the booms into the gathering head. The gathering head will direct debris into the hopper and feed it onto a conveying mechanism. The convey ...

Disaster Platform- Helping communities build resilience to disasters via social networking, gamification and relationship building
SBC: GOODGAMES LLC Topic: 3AIn today’s world of accelerating climate change effects, a community's capacity to plan for and build resilience to disasters, homeland security threats, and extreme weather is of increasing importance. The ability of public safety organizations and local governments to effectively communicate with community members in emergency situations is critical, especially in the immediate aftermath of la ...

Auto-Label SAR (AL-SAR)
SBC: ICR, INC. Topic: OSD221002Correctly labeled data is essential for training AI/ML-based automatic target recognition (ATR). The training process is all the more complicated in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images because of their unique phenomenology, such as orientation-sensitive target signatures, layover, cross-range smearing, and radio frequency interference. New automated technology must reduce the cost and acc ...

Development and evaluation of peroxide free fin-fish nursery feeds with active DHA-synthase enzyme (DSe)
SBC: FPN LLC Topic: 93The marine microalgae Crypthecodinium cohnii (C. cohnii) contains high levels of DHA and DHA synthase enzyme (DSe) both of which may provide nutritional benefits to finfish for human consumption. Field Phyto-Nutrients LLC has developed a process for algae-based feed preparation where the algae is dried under low temperature (

Sustainable seed production for North Atlantic kelp aquaculture
SBC: Ocean's Balance Inc Topic: 93Demand for seaweed products has dramatically increased in the U.S.; however, only 1% is met with domestic production. Expansion of seaweed aquaculture is crucial to protect wild populations from extinction by overharvesting, which impacts entire marine ecosystems. Current kelp aquaculture methods rely on harvested reproductive tissue, which is not sustainable. In response to NOAA Topic 9.3, Health ...

Measuring Stormwater Overflow with Synthetic Aperture Radar
SBC: WOLVERINE RADAR COMPANY Topic: 93Many municipalities in the United States have begun to use impermeability measurements to incentivize storm water retention as part of the architectural and landscaping design process. These measurements are performed through analysis of high-resolution aerial photography and updated on an annual or semi-annual basis. The practice of using high resolution aerial or even satellite photography is pr ...

Scene Geometry Aided Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) for Radar
SBC: Stratagem Group, Inc., The Topic: OSD221001Reducing the false alarm rate (FAR) of Automated Target Recognition (ATR) algorithms is crucial for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) and precision target engagement missions. There are many contributing factors that result in higher FAR for deep learning (DL) ATR networks operating on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery, including: image distortions, unrepresentative target sign ...
