ABSTRACT:Recent technical demonstrations in hostile fire sensing and classification have highlighted the use of costly cryogenically-cooled electro-optical sensors.While capable, these types of sensors come with a higher initial purchase price as well as high life cycle costs per platform.This activity will implement a broad area hostile fire sensing architecture that uses lower cost discrete sens ...

ABSTRACT:The warfighter needs an accurate and reliable source of Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) when GPS is not available. Fortunately, technical advances in navigation sensors and algorithms can reduce dependence on the venerable, yet vulnerable, GPS system. Inertial sensors are becoming increasingly smaller and more accurate. Low cost, powerful embedded computing platforms enable real ti ...

An integrated analysis and simulation software package has been developed in SBIR Phase I and Phase II programs to provide a high fidelity predictive modeling capability for general aircraft ground maneuvering and loads data to support design and test ac...

Systima Technologies will develop an ultra-low profile, modular carriage/release system by incorporation of various emerging technologies within the Munition Design. This system will nearly double carriage density compared to traditional bomb rack integrations. By eliminating the bomb rack altogether, the maintenance, cleaning and logistic costs are alleviated, along with the parasitic weight of t ...

The goal of the proposed effort is to develop and demonstrate an integrated software tool based on surrogate models for real-time analysis and prediction of combined static and dynamic external loads using non-proprietary physics-based models and existing flight-test data. In Phase I key technology elements were developed and proof-of-principle was successfully demonstrated. Load analysis software ...

LWIR is well suited for free space communications because of its atmospheric window and low scattering by dust, precipitation, and fog. Due to recent developments of QCLs, the technology is poised to provide the high speed LWIR transmitter for such a free space communication system. However, a corresponding advance in LWIR detectors for the high-speed receiver is needed. The specifics of the LWIR ...

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 bat ...

ABSTRACT: The objective of this solicitation is to develop real-time automatic scaling software for oblique ionograms (OIs).In Phase I, using recently developed mathematical concepts of sparsity and fractional norms, we have developed a novel method for detecting the desired trace data and determining whether a given point is an ordinary magnetoionic mode (O) or an extraordinary mode (X) while red ...
