Propagation Research Associates, Inc., (PRA) introduces two innovative algorithms to reduce fire control and missile filter transients in short time-of-flight guided missile engagements. A class of Smoothed Iterated Filters is developed as a more efficient implementation of the forward-backward filter and is shown to significantly reduce the impact of filter transients due to initialization error ...

The goal of the BRAMS effort is to develop a Blood Reserve Availability Assessment, Tracking, and Management System that will supplement the Joint Medical Asset Repository (JMAR) by allowing users to manually enter data via a web-based system. The BRAMS Phase I effort successfully developed a web interface for collecting blood data and exporting that blood data to JMAR in the format specified by ...

Coherent Logix, Incorporated proposes to develop a Simultaneous Real-Time Processing Surveillance Receiver (SRPSR) capable of measuring intended and unintended spectral emissions of electronic equipment in a very dense, noisy signal environment. This computation intensive SRPSR system will be based on Coherent Logix’s reprogrammable, dynamically reconfigurable, real-time adaptable, patent pendi ...

Sarcos Research Corporation proposes the development of a miniature, disposable, embedded computer-controlled IV infusion pump for administration of drugs during casualty treatment, stabilization and transport on the battlefield. The pump will be based on the Company's proprietary design concepts that enable pumps that are accurate, power efficient, small size, light weight, rugged, and can opera ...

In this Phase I, we shall develop NOMAD, a moving target prediction system. For each moving enemy target, NOMAD exploits (1) models describing the physical behavior of the moving target and (2) live intelligence about the target from spots reports or sensors such as UAV's. Using this as input, NOMAD's prediction algorithms compute the target's location at future time intervals along with an asso ...

Coherent Logix, Incorporated (CLX) proposes to develop a multi-chip module (MCM) system for hyperspectral image processing and other high throughput signal processing applications requiring ultra-low power, extremely-high performance, and a ultra-small form factor. Hyperspectral image processors are currently made by soldering a large number of components onto multiple printed circuit boards resul ...

Systems and Processes Engineering Corporation (SPEC) proposes an Integrated Total Asset Visibility System (ITAVS) management solution that supports the IUID and RFID Policies and is consistent with DoD's Business Enterprise Architecture. The resultant asset management system will maximize the effective utilization of a mix of Automatic Identification Technologies (AIT), in concert with the IUID Pr ...

This solicitation calls for research and exploration on approaches to find solutions to high power W-band amplifiers for use in directed energy (DE) weapons that are more affordable and compact and have additional desirable features including low standby power and instant-on capabilities and are, for example, HUMVEE field friendly. In addition the ability to produce such amplifiers in relatively ...

Williams-Pyro, Inc. proposes to develop an RFID-UID Integration and Tracking System (RUITS) that integrates Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) RFID tags, readers, and handheld devices, as well as UID Data Matrix 2D barcodes, to enable accurate, real-time tracking of Army assets. Leveraging the latest RFID technology standards and implementing advanced middleware components, RUITS will seamlessly inte ...

With 19.6 wt% hydrogen in its composition, borazane (NH3BH3), a water soluble, non-cryogenic solid, is one of the most hydrogen rich solids around, and a promising means to deliver hydrogen for use in fuel cells. The hydrogen can be liberated by either hydrolysis or pyrolysis with a throttleable hydrolysis reactor producing a higher hydrogen yield from a given mass of borazane with no need for a ...
