The FCS (Future Combat Systems), WIN-T (Warfighter Information Network-Tactical), and JTRS (Joint Tactical Radio System) programs have all identified the need for secure and survivable ad hoc wireless tactical networks to support the network centric battlefield environment of the future. To address this need, Architecture Technology Corporation (ATC) will build and demonstrate STAMINA (Survivable ...

To maintain situational awareness during combat operations, dismounted soldiers require access to updated battlefield information. Currently, the United States Army's Land Warrior soldier system provides this information via an opaque monocular display that presents a two-dimensional moving map and battlefield messages. By placing this display over an eye, however, a soldier sacrifices his or he ...

Internal Combustion engines (IC) are bound in their ability to create power primarily by the volume of air an engine is able to deliver to the combustion chamber. This formula has particular import at high altitude, where air pressure decreases, resulting in a correlative power loss. Traditional solutions for generating higher compensating air pressure are limited to external add-on devices such ...

In the Phase I program an inovative approach to modeling and fabrication of integrated phase array antennas is proposed. The approach uses advantages of implementing scientific modeling and simulation on EM Premier workstation which enables a full 3D FDTD algorithm.The feasibility of integration of BST with large area Si wafers will be explored using novel material growth techniques.

Simulution Inc. proposes to work with Melerit Medical AB of Sweden to expand the capabilities of TraumaVision, our fractured femur simulator, to include simulation training in the diagnosis and care of lower extremity compartment syndrome. Our goal is to develop TraumaVision into an integrated lower extremity trauma simulator that allows training in realistic scenarios where compartment syndrome ...

This Phase II SBIR project addresses the development of novel solid state Zinc Oxide-based light emitting device. These devices will find widespread application in civilian and military markets. The objective of the Phase II is to develop UV/Blue emitters using the CdZnO/ZnO material system. SVT Associates utilize innovative approaches for material epitaxial growth p-type doping and device design. ...

This Phase I SBIR program will determine the feasibility of a unique sensor and test technology that measures trust levels in the operation of analog or digital integrated circuits (IC) through the use of device specific quiescent current (IDDQ) fingerprints. The IDDQ sensor is based on microelectronic magnetic field sensors, which are inexpensive, highly versatile, wide dynamic range, non-pertur ...

This project will develop and deploy a comprehensive force protection vulnerability analysis process that accommodates diverse and large geographic areas, public events, infrastructure interdependencies, attacker goals, means, and methods, and defender priorities. This process will be based on the Vulnerability Assessment and Prioritization Methodology (VAPM) originally developed and applied to do ...

The use of Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) to provide ubiquitous access to information within the Department of Defense presents challenges in both the design and implementation of these systems. The need to provide information to the war-fighter in a timely manner while maintaining the security of the system in challenging environments far exceeds the capabilities of present day enterpris ...

This work seeks to develop the ultra-low-frequency performance of spin-dependent-tunneling magnetic-field sensors through the use of novel thin-film materials to lower the frequency-dependent excess noise and increase the signal response. What is proposed is an investigation of novel thin film materials recently discovered to have high magnetoresistance effects. Magnetic sensor devices will be f ...
