ABSTRACT:Current military systems laser rangefinding and designation systems require multiple detectors, which make such systems large, heavy, and power hungry, which limits application to larger, high-value platforms. The proposed Phase II program addresses the need for a single, compact high-resolution SWIR imager with see-spot/time-spot capabilities. In the Phase II program, Voxtel will develop ...

ABSTRACT: This document presents Optical Sciences Corporation's SBIR technology transition proposal to complete development of an advanced Cryogenic-Vacuum Compatible Infrared Scene Projector (CVC IRSP) for Wide Field-of-View (WFOV) space sensor testing and to integrate the CVC IRSP into a government owned space simulation chamber. The CVC IRSP will be capable of projecting complex scenes w ...

The vast majority of injuries in recent military conflicts have been inflicted by improvised explosive devices (IEDs) causing brain, extremities and genital-urinary injuries. Advanced computational models of IED blast physics and human body injury biomech

ABSTRACT:Nonvolatile memory (NVM) technologies are a critical component of modern satellites.These NVM chipsets perform tasks ranging from storing mission-critical boot code to large multi-gigabyte mission data recorders.This requirement for high-density NVM has shifted focus on to commercial CMOS FLASH.FLASH technologies are capable of high-density devices, compared to resistive or phase-change t ...

A compact, low-power near/shortwave infrared sensor capable of temporally and spatially resolving battlefield lasers asynchronously under day and night conditions will be developed. The approach is based on an existing active-passive focal plane array (FPA), which readily lends itself to this application. In Phase I, after working with U.S. Army stakeholders to refine the requirements and the cont ...

With the ubiquity of mobile devices and the large disparity in screen sizes it is imperative for applications to be able to adapt to a wide variety of devices and platforms easily and transparently. As such, it is required that to do so there must be an intelligent framework that is powerful enough to coordinate and adapt to these ever changing screen size requirements easily and seamlessly. This ...

We propose to investigate the benefits of imaging polarimetry in multiple wavebands with the goal to reduce the workload of the Apache crew, focusing on the task load of the gunner. Imaging polarimetry has shown significant advantages under several conditions to outperform standard broadband radiometric imagers in locating targets and suppressing clutter. Multiple wavebands polarimeters have to da ...

ABSTRACT:Computer network defense tools are plagued with an excessive amount of information, frequently in the form of false positives. Rather than attempt to train automated tools to detect attack events more reliably, we propose to build upon existing 'honey-net' technologies to interfere with the reconnaissance phases of an adversary's attack. We will build upon our existing CyberChaff (TM) tec ...

ABSTRACT:A cooperative small business and university research and development program is proposed to begin development of a robust, non-contacting, digital image correlation based, full-field strain measurement system for high temperature applications. The Phase I studies will demonstrate that a robust high temperature digital image correlation system (HTDICS) can be developed that is capable of a ...

ABSTRACT:In this work, an ephemeral security technique for keying military GPS receivers will be developed. This work will not modify the existing GPS cryptographic structure, but rather develop an overlay for providing keying information to a receiver in a manner that makes all security information ephemeral, eliminating the permanent storage of CPI within the receiver. Existing and emerging batt ...
