Several geo-social inference concerns currently limit military stability and reconstruction operations: • Contact lists are not centrally coordinated, up to date, complete, or easily searchable • Vendor history is not maintained or combined with culture and safety information • Hand-off and coordination delays cause projects to span multiple troop cycles The proposed project answers the unde ...

The 3-D integration of systems through monolithic wafer stacking is an emerging technology that can alleviate power, delay, and area problems for digital circuits and can enable a host of new applications in the system on a chip design space. Currently, CAD tools for 3-D integration are severely lacking stagnating potentially explosive growth of the technology. GoofyFoot Labs proposes TESI3d, a ...

This Phase II SBIR effort will design and demonstrate enabling technology for fast text processing in the presence of noisy inputs while achieving semantically rich extractions of actionable knowledge from unstructured text data. The successful Phase I project demonstrated the ability to process ten gigabytes of raw text data in less than 15 minutes, the DARPA Phase I benchmark. The proposed Pha ...

Emerging combat conditions require new multifunctional fiber materials, associated composite systems and processing techniques to be developed starting now. As envisioned, these materials cannot be based on incremental gains made using current technology, but major leaps forward arising from completely new fiber technologies. TRI/Austin recently conceived of a novel material, which it believes i ...

A back-illuminated planar InGaAs photodiode tested to have 95% quantum effiiency (QE) at 1550 nm, area greater than 1 mm2, low capacitance (125 MHz) will be improved. Although the existing Phase I device exhibited bulk material dark current generation better than commercially available devices, the sidewall-generated dark current was found to dominate the noise equiva ...

Conflict Kinetics proposes to develop a Close Quarter Marksmanship next generation training platform, the Adaptive Panoramic TORA (TORA Apan 220), that will be fully automated and self diagnostic. It will guide soldiers through drills and trigger corrective drills that address deficiencies identified in their marksmanship skills. The Phase II effort will include the following objectives: modify ...
