This program will use a combination of hardware and software to remove narrow band interference from Satellite Communications (SATCOM) equipment. The system that will be developed in the phase II will act as a black box, which sits between the original SATCOM antenna system and SATCOM receiver, and will utilize spatial and time diversity combined with statistical methods to remove the interference ...

The main challenges of treating PTSD include getting patients into treatment, keeping them engaged, and motivating them to complete out-of-session take-home work. SAGA (Sequential Art via Game Assistance) addresses these challenges by providing PTSD patients an engaging and educational game environment that helps them understand and emotionally process their trauma while creating a graphic novel. ...

A microphone array system for studying the near field hydrodynamic region adjacent to the supersonic exhaust plume of a tactical aircraft engine in a ground test fixture at approximately 20 feet above the ground. It will consist of approximately 160 microphones aimed radially inward at the edge of the shear layer and extending to 20 diameters downstream of the nozzle exit. A mobile scissors jack w ...

During the SBIR Phase II, Architecture Technology Corporation (ATCorp) successfully developed Synapse as software modules that can be inserted into existing Joint Mission Planning System Expeditionary (JMPS-E) to provide reliable ship-to-ship real-time collaborative mission planning. Synapse improves overall efficiency in the planning process by allowing team members to collaborate remotely in re ...

The Department of Defense is continually looking for opportunities to reduce the weight of fixed-wing aviation assets. Reduced weight translates to a number of significant economic and operational benefits. One area of significant opportunity for increased weight savings is wiring, which is based on metal conductorstypically copperwhich is a heavy material. Furthermore, wiring and connectors are p ...

The goal of this program is to develop compact, lightweight, low power thermal management systems for non-lethal weapons platforms, specifically the Radio Frequency Vehicle Stopper (RFVS) and the Active Denial Technology (ADT) system. In the Phase I effort, Mezzo designed thermal management systems for both applications which utilize Mezzo"s advanced micro tube heat exchangers and micro tube therm ...

A parallel random number generation suite that generates, dynamically, millions of parallel pseduorandom number streams suitable for consumption by high performance computing (HPC) applications on various platforms will be implemented, tested, and provided to Government, academic and private HPC users for their evaluation and use. The software will be tuned for scalability, repeatability and effic ...

ABSTRACT: As the USAF and other military services migrate to an IP-based tactical network, i.e., the"IP to the edge"paradigm, the use of end-to-end IPSEC-based encryption of network traffic using HAIPE devices presents a tremendous opportunity for cost savings compared to traditional link layer encryption for implementing needed COMSEC capabilities. Despite the attractive cost advantages offered ...

ABSTRACT: The Air Force has identified the need for a technological capability to provide secure, dynamic and efficient multicast services over crypto-partitioned heterogeneous tactical networks, to ensure efficient use of bandwidth-constrained airborne networks. During Phase I of this SBIR, Architecture Technology Corporation (ATC) defined an innovative technology called Adaptive and Integrated ...

ABSTRACT: A better understanding of the thermo-mechanical response, characteristics and properties of materials can lead to improved device performance as well as facilitate the design of new devices and materials for various applications. Although there has been significant progress in the development of micro/nanomechanical testing techniques and tools over the last decade, commercially availab ...
