To meet the challenge of aiding the Army aviator with flying a complex aircraft in a dangerous region of airspace, Applied System Intelligence, Inc. (ASI), with participation from Sikorsky Aircraft Company (SAC), plans to add decision-aiding behaviors to the UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter in a system called Situational Awareness Fusion Enhancement Aid (SAFE-Aid). SAFE-Aid, an Intelligent Associate ...

ABSTRACT: The Area-I team propose to leverage their expertise to develop an extended-endurance Air-Launched, Tube-Integrated Unmanned System (ALTIUS). ALTIUS, meaning"higher"in Latin, will provide a paradigm shift in the performance of small, tube-launched remotely piloted aircraft (RPA). Core features and capabilities of the ALTIUS UAS will include: 1) A state-of-the-art, high-energy-density pow ...

The objective for this SBIR is to develop a PMESII-PT workbench i.e., a tool that will enable Civil Affairs staff to gather, organize, and maintain knowledge relevant to stability operations. Two factors limit the militarys ability to manage stability operations. First, there simply are not enough trained personnel for the mission. As a result, soldiers not trained in stability operations oft ...

ABSTRACT: Aircraft transparency systems such as canopies incorporate conductive layers that provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. These conductive layers require inspection during manufacturing and throughout the life of the aircraft to ensure proper electrical performance is achieved and maintained. Current manufacturing inspections are conducted manually, are time consuming, and ...

There are major technical and financial barriers that are preventing Si photonics and optoelectronics to transition from R & D to commercial product domain. The main technical challenge is the nanometric scale precision required for proper functioning of Si photonic devices. High index contrast of Si with its cladding materials allows reducing the size of photonic elements and hence allows packing ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Program Phase II project proposes to develop a simple, single-shot, inexpensive, and complete laser-pulse measurement device for ~100-picosecond to ~10-nanosecond pulses. Long (>10 nanosecond) pulses are easily measured, and recently developed techniques completely measure ultrashort pulses (

The innovation in this project comes from the novel call audio analysis techniques that can be used to create a fingerprint of the source of a telephone call. Such fingerprints can reveal valuable information about the call source, including the type of the calling device (landline, Voice-over IP or mobile), its geographical location and the networks over which the call audio may have been transpo ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project should offer a radically new alternative to enterprises for application mobilization. The key value proposition is the ability for companies to mobilize their applications at a fraction of the cost and time as compared to any competitive offering. From a technology standpoint, the project consists of a cloud-based backend that allows ...

Cermet, Inc in collaboration with Georgia Institute of Technology proposes to develop spin Light Emitting Diode (LED) in a 24 month Phase II program. The spin LED is a simple yet powerful spintronic device that produces circularly polarized light and is a potent tool to quantify the spin injection efficiency and spin polarization efficiency.

The goal of this program is to develop ZnO based light emitters fabricated on high quality ZnO bulk substrates. The work will focus on enhance doping of the active layers, target alloy concentrations and prototype emitter fabrication.
