ABSTRACT: Full-spectrum cyber operations, including both Cyber Network Attack and Cyber Network Defense, place enormous cognitive demands on operators and teams. When demands are too high or tasks are not properly allocated, performance degrades, and missions may fail. To avoid operator overload, the USAF requires a thorough, real-time evaluation of the state of the individual and the team. Asses ...

ABSTRACT: The US Air Force relies on realistic projection display systems to simulate operational environments for training of JTAC personnel. One current limitation is that the projection screen materials are passive and do not allow reflectance to be adjusted for day/night difference or to accommodate night vision. In this SBIR program, Triton working with a leader in the projection training di ...

ABSTRACT: In this proposed SBIR program Test Devices, Inc, in conjunction with our industry partners Pratt & Whitney (see letter of support) and Mechanical Solutions, Inc., will leverage our experience in the domain of high temperature full component and subscale testing to develop a concept for an affordable Highly Simulative Subscale Testing (HSST) Facility capable of conducting tests that will ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Cancer is the second leading cause of death after heart disease in the US Chemotherapy is a mainstay of treatment after surgical removal of tumors but the balance of clinical benefit versus disabling or life threatening side effects is often uncertain Genotyping of cancers to identify mutated oncogenes has enabled an era of targeted therapy Drugs targeting ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) in collaboration with Q-Peak, a PSI subsidiary, will develop an agile, active/passive shortwave infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral imager (HSI) for tower mounted or airborne information surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). This solution employs a high-power supercontinuum (SC) laser source to extend the operating range of the HSI to low-light conditions and nighttime use. ...

ABSTRACT: Systems & Technology Research (STR) proposes a nonlinear filtering approach to the problem of estimating and correcting navigation errors of the Inertial Navigation System (INS) that uses only on-board Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to navigate and guide the strategic strike vehicles. The proposed method is to provide significant improvement in the IMU-only navigation and guidance accu ...

ABSTRACT: We and our team partner Emu Solutions, a University of Notre Dame spin-off, will implement and ultimately deliver ISiS_PFA (Image Stabilization in Silicon_PFA), an electronics hardware implementation of our recently-invented Polynomial Factor Analysis (PFA) jitter mitigation algorithm. This algorithm works, not on an OPIR payload"s beam stabilization front-end, but rather on the stream ...

ABSTRACT: The proposed effort will research innovative algorithms to exploit novel target signatures for insertion into ground-based processing software and real-time spacecraft data-processing firmware. We exploit novel dim phenomena (targets, events, and environmental phenomena of military relevance) based on a novel mathematical technique, dynamic logic (DL). DL overcame computational complexi ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Koronis Biomedical Technology Corporation KBT proposes to develop and evaluate a miniature ultra low power pulse oximeter for long term wearable monitoring There continues to be a clinical need for an unobtrusive pulse oximeter sensor that is small and can be worn comfortably for extended periods of time without battery change or recharge KBT will use eye s ...

ABSTRACT: NanoLab proposes to develop a non-contact data transfer device to replace slip-rings in rotating assemblies. The proposed device will offer up to 300 channels of secure data delivery across the rotating frame at speeds of 20khz or higher. Further this device will be able to handle multiple input types, including thermocouples, strain gauges, and other analog and digital sources. BENE ...
