Information overload is a critical problem in both military and commercial decision-making processes. Sentar's Work-Centered Interface (WCI) provides a generic, highly usable solution to these problems by wedding intelligent multi-agent systems withuser-centered design. Based on Sentar's multi-agent KnoWebr architecture, the WCI integrates distributed information resources to provide situational ...

The objective of this Phase II SBIR proposal is to develop increased capability and fidelity in ground hazard estimation modeling following the interception by a directed energy (DE) weapon of a missile containing a chemical or biological payload. Thisincreased capability will be accomplished primarily through a set of experiments that will provide more stringent bounds on unitary chemical source ...

This SBIR Phase II program will continue research and development of carbon nanotubes for conductive polymer hybrids. The objective is to develop a multifunctional composite material with significant thermal and electrical conductivity for shielding,electrostatic discharge, thermal management, and energy storage and conversion applications. The approach to the high conductivity is via establishing ...

A Phase II program is proposed to address fundamental technical and cost risks associated with the Segmented Launch Vehicle (SLV) concept. The SLV is an innovative, largely unexplored approach that will significantly reduce the cost of delivering cargo toLow Earth Orbit. A family of vehicles is being developed to service small (4,000lbm), medium (30,000lbm), and large (100,000lbm) commercial and G ...

Sandwich structural designs are the most weight efficient concepts for stability-critical components such as control surfaces. The objective of Phase I of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of producing a honeycomb sandwich structure using aunique Double Wall Honeycomb design. This new ARDL honeycomb design is called Hexagonal Double wall structure or

Archangel's Air Data Attitude Heading Reference System (ADAHRS) is a solid-state unit that integrates low-cost piezoelectric MEMS gyros and accelerometers, as well as pitot and static sensing devices and a magnetometer with a local processor. Accuraciesto 1 degree RMS have been demonstrated in aircraft test flights. Long term stability of the ADAHRS has been demonstrated to be better than 1 degre ...

The communication requirements for military forces in the future will demand small, lightweight, low-powered data routers for ground troops autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles and other applications requiring interconnected nodes. The MobileIntelligent Router (MIR) provides a solution delivers complete, secure and scalable internetworking for military systems such as Future Combat Systems that ...
