Emergent Healthcare Solutions proposes to research the feasibility of a dynamic cloud-based incident Intelligence System called Emergent Cloud. Emergent Cloud is an application service providing firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians access to an interactive incident roadmap and real-time workflow and record keeping. The general aim of the proposed project is to revolutionize the user expe ...

To satisfy the need for a radiation-hardened, 1064-nm laser sensitive, single-photon sensitive ladar camera, with pixel counts of 128 x 128 or more, a proven single-photon linear-mode InGaAs(P)/InAlAs avalanche-photodiode (APD) detector will be integrated with low-noise ladar readout integrated circuits (ROICs), and its performance will be shown compatible with missile defense mission requirements ...

International FemtoScience will develop and demonstrate a new technology to achieve an advanced accelerometer that enhances an Inertial Measurement Unit’s high-g operability. This accelerometer provides smaller, lighter, more robust, less expensive devices, compatible with known production methodologies. To achieve the required performance a novel material (not silicon-based, to achieve the high ...

In this effort GTL proposes to develop a high performance, lightweight, low cost composite cryogenic propellant tank that meets or exceeds MDA missile system requirements. In the Phase I effort, GTL will verify critical capabilities to ensure the feasibility of the technology. This effort leverages previous cryotank composite cylindrical and spherical tank work performed by GTL. In the follow-on P ...

In the Phase I effort, GTL showed that future missile interceptor performance can be substantially increased by the combination of an innovative configuration and a breakthrough composite tank technology. The Phase II effort will include material characterization testing and the fabrication and testing of multiple small-scale tanks. Based on those results, GTL will design, analyze, fabricate and t ...

CU Aerospace (CUA) and team partners San Jose St. University (SJSU) and Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company (LMSSC) propose to develop a robust epoxy resin regenerator capable of improving cryocooler efficiency by more than 30%, and to design an enhanced compressor motor capable of improving the cryocooler efficiency by more than 20%. LMSSC manufactures a space cryocooler that already meets most ...

The research involves implementation of a comparison algorithm for firearm forensics. The Congruent Matching Cells (CMC) algorithm and its associated CMF, CMPS, and CMX methods have been developed by NIST yet do not appear in any commercially available software. As requested in the call for proposals, we will implement the algorithms in the C++ programming language, we will validate their performa ...
