Many currently fielded medical devices are adapted from civilian emergency medical operations and are not designed to function in the austere operating environments of the armed forces. Patient litter systems are incapable of meeting acceleration and crash requirements set forth in the Joint Enroute Care Equipment Test Standard (JECETS). In addition to these mechanical performance requirements tha ...

The need for the United States Navy to maintain a superior global Anti-Submarine Warfare capability is heavily dependent on sonobouys and Navy has identified a need to develop batteries to power sonobuoys which have higher power capabilities than currently used technology. Nanowise LLC proposes to develop a high power MnO2/CFx battery based on interpenetrating conductive network of nanostructures. ...

The Navy"s need to analyze data from aircraft platforms for Maintenance, Operations, Safety and Training purposes is expanding exponentially as a result of new platforms and sensor systems capable of producing and storing vast amounts of data. Data is currently recorded in unique formats preventing aggregate data analysis. Creation of a common data format across platforms has proven cost prohibiti ...

ABSTRACT: CIRRUS is an innovative marriage of cloud computing and state-of-the-art compression methods to develop a secure cloud computing environment for providing Infrared (IR) space surveillance data to warfighters via a high bandwidth constrained channel (56k). CIRRUS works by partitioning images and distributing the resulting segments, known as chips throughout the high performance portions ...

ABSTRACT: The Air Force and other Agencies face a need to manage plant-life in operating locations without the use of environmentally hazardous chemicals, and without collateral impact to surrounding ecologies. Global Neighbor, Inc. (GNI) has successfully demonstrated that directed energy, in the correct spectra and power level combinations, is an effective alternative to chemical treatment for fl ...

ABSTRACT: The goal of the Agile Workstation for a Core Architecture Model for Space (AWCAMS) is to provide better understanding of complex space systems; improve communications among key players in the research and development process; and aid in making better acquisition decisions for space. AWCAMS will be an open-source, standards-based framework that integrates with existing DoD and Air Force ...

Mission planning is an error prone and labor intensive process requiring similar data to be entered multiple times through various JMPS UPCs. The Navy is requesting a software solution to expedite and unify the operational mission planning process. Architecture Technology Corp (ATCorp) proposes MoMiP (Mobile Mission Planning) to incorporate mobile hardware platforms (Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, etc ...

ABSTRACT: Matrix and CSU are poised to develop algorithms to suppress radar WTC while preserving signals from targets of interest such as aircraft and weather. Our processing approach will be capable of utilizing radar data from either stationary- or scanning-mode ground-based systems. We will work closely with our transition partner to develop a Phase II transition plan to integrate our approac ...

In recent years, the military has put a great deal of effort into improving the realism and accuracy of simulation and mission rehearsal programs. Enhancing the realism and fidelity of simulations for complex terrain features and urban areas has become a priority. While high resolution satellite and aerial imagery is commonly available, high resolution digital elevation model (DEM) data is not com ...

Carrier phase measurements in GPS are well known to enable precision performance. However, GPS is easily degraded or jammed. Carrier phase measurements in a local radio system, on the other hand, is much easier due to its much stronger signal level compared with GPS. In this proposal GIRD Systems will investigate feasibility of precise positioning techniques based on carrier phase measurements fr ...
