Under our Phase I SBIR effort, and also under a complementary Arete Associates IR&D-funded airborne program, Areté successfully defined and performed preliminary airborne, long-standoff, demonstration of critical elements of novel, passive, multi-view, multi-channel algorithms for performing FOPEN against targets highly occluded by foliage. During Phase II, through the Phase II option, Arete prop ...

Our primary concept is a distributed storage system capable of supporting organizations which scale from the small to the very largest. The goal is to build a distributed self-configuring; self-managing and self-healing file storage system which exhibits modular upgradeability and dynamic adaptation to an organization's evolving needs. Our strategy to do this is to exploit a unique scientifically ...

This proposal outlines the scope and prospective directions of research into the architecture, technology, methods and algorithms necessary for the building of the practically usable distributed system for dissemination, high-volume transportation, storage and management of large data files in heterogeneous world-wide networks, such as needed by the advanced geospatial computing. The specific topi ...

"Fetch Technologies (FT) proposes to build a geospatial catalog system that will not just tell you which products are available, but also allow the user to see the actual products and the relationship to other products. Customers will be better enabled todetermine exactly which products contain the information they need and then order those products from NIMA. One of the key pieces of technology u ...

"The National Imagery and Mapping Agency is seeking new and innovative technology for generating Digital Terrain Elevation Data Level 2 (DTED-2) for territories above 60 degrees N. Important criteria include vertical accuracy of 16 m and horizontal accuracyof 20 m, and identification and selection of available cost effective imagery sources that will require a minimal number of ground control poin ...
