The increase in unmanned systems, also known as UxVs, on the battlefield creates the need for coordinated activity among multiple UxVs that work effectively in collaboration with the Warfighters who must be able to rapidly and easily command their operations, insure their compliance with intent in a highly unpredictable world, and receive needed situation awareness (SA) from their sensors. In orde ...

To meet the challenge of aiding the Army aviator with flying a complex aircraft in a dangerous region of airspace, Applied System Intelligence, Inc. (ASI), with participation from Sikorsky Aircraft Company (SAC), plans to add decision-aiding behaviors to the UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter in a system called Situational Awareness Fusion Enhancement Aid (SAFE-Aid). SAFE-Aid, an Intelligent Associate ...

Many military and commercial applications have turned to power electronics to run a variety of systems efficiently, quietly, cheaply, and precisely. Therefore, there is an urgent need for efficient energy storage systems with both high energy and power densities. Supercapacitors have gained substantial attention for these applications since they offer outstanding advantages over conventional capac ...

Traditional selection and training practices are essential initial selection tools that show some general levels of predictive validity overall. However, current Navy selection tools are not good predictors of performance for Navy air system AVOs. In our targeted solution, we utilize proprietary methodologies that combine standard methods for selection and training of industry personnel, such as t ...

The objective for this SBIR is to develop a PMESII-PT workbench i.e., a tool that will enable Civil Affairs staff to gather, organize, and maintain knowledge relevant to stability operations. Two factors limit the militarys ability to manage stability operations. First, there simply are not enough trained personnel for the mission. As a result, soldiers not trained in stability operations oft ...

ASI proposes to develop and evaluate a Phase I Demonstration System for the Improved Fusion Algorithm System (IFAS) based on its artificial intelligence technology for building Associate Systems. This Demonstration System will be based on requirements analysis with a written requirements document and will be evaluated by military operator users. Requirements analysis will include performance of ...

Compared to Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries, which have earned the largest share of the battery storage market, flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) offer significant advantages in cycle life, power density and turnaround efficiency for short charge/discharge times, but normally at a higher cost. The goal for this Phase II program is to develop a FESS design that has lower acquisition cost than a ...

The objective for this effort is to design and develop a common software foundation for the Army to use in a variety of deployment environments including mobile / handheld devices, mounted units and command posts. The work to be done involves both the development of a software architecture and the implementation of common software foundation engineering tools and libraries. During Phase I of thi ...

PRA is proposing an innovative Orthogonal Space Projection (OSP) processing technology and a parallel processing architecture to adaptively cancel discrete clutter in real-time. The OSP technique utilizes adaptive waveform diversity with a suite of waveforms with low correlation time-sidelobes. In addition a unique phase differencing technique is used to identify the location of discrete clutter ...

Navy command and control (C2) personnel must make decisions about events and activity they are not able to directly perceive. They must interpret information represented on an interface or over a communication device into a mental picture of the relevant environment - a mental model of the current situation. Sustaining high levels of team performance in this environment is difficult. A tool to pre ...
