Moore's law states that computing performance doubles every 18 months. While this has held true for 40 years, it is widely believed that this will soon come to an end. Increases in performance coincide with decreases in scale on the computer platform. Dueto the small scale of computer components, both interference effects are starting to play a role in the development of new components. This impli ...

This proposal describes the design and creation of an interface for controlling multiple UAVs in a real-time situation. Named the Uninhabited Air Vehicle Management Interface (UAVMI), it is centered on a 3-dimensional graphical representation of theoperational geographic area. The operator is able to move a 3D cursor around within this geographic volume, selecting groups, paths, and targets in 3D ...

NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY: Economic impacts due to coldwater disease (CWD) have dramatically increased in recent years at public and private aquaculture facilities and CWD is the number one disese problem in the commercial rainbow trout industry in Idaho. In the United States, antibiotics available for the therapeutic treatment of fish with this disease are very limited and not expected to increase. V ...

This Phase II SBIR project will develop a full function propagation simulation software application that will model radio wave propagation in a wide variety of physical scenarios. The development plans include the implementation of the high fidelityphysics based model for propagation prediction all type of physical environments. The software will incorporate site-specific features from the ground ...

The overall goal of the proposed two-phase SBIR project is to develop a low-cost, reliable, miniaturized RF component suitable for nanosatellites, in order for them to achieve functionality similar to larger spacecrafts. EMAG Technologies proposes todevelop a novel multi-chip module (MCM) technology based on revolutionary concepts in packaging and integration that will reduce the RF communication ...

The goal of this project is to develop an XML-driven platform that will rapidly determine the hazards associated with a collection of chemicals at a given location. Beginning with a query consisting of location, date, and time, the CHAIN (Chemical HazardAssessment Information Network) system will prioritize the materials at the location to provide a ranked list by hazard along with recommended pro ...

Today's weapon systems and engagement doctrine are highly complex. Attempting to understand and glean important details from tabular data, end game results, and 2-D graphs is difficult. Providing a 3-D real-time representation consolidates all availablekinematic information into a single presentation. This enables observation of engineering level information in the physical realm by viewing actual ...
