"The objective of this Phase II effort is the development and operationaltest insertion of ATO Link, an effects-based dynamic planning andscheduling tool that exploits link analysis and optimizationtechnologies. This capability can be inserted into TAP, the Theatre AirPlanning System currently in operation at Air Force Air OperationCenters (AOCs). This technology directly adds value to the current ...

"This project will develop and implement in embedded hardware the capability needed to configure pre hit, a component level automation infrastructure.This approach optimizes survivability using models of damage or casualty scenarios. This capability willbe demonstrated in a laboratory hardware in the loop simulation. This project leverages the results of several other ongoing research efforts al ...

"Agave BioSystems, in collaboration with Professor George Malliaras of Cornell University, proposes to develop a unique and innovative biosensor based on induced luminescence of captured BW bacterial agents and organic light emitting diode (OLED)technology. The system would use an array of bacteriophage engineered to express fluorescent protein in infected BW agents. The specificity of the pha ...

"Biology provides a vast number of examples of nanostructures produced at a level of precision that is superior to those that we can produce in the laboratory The diversity of naturally occurring S-layers suggests these self-assembled structures aregenetically controlled and can therefore be manipulated though recombinant process. In the Phase I, Agave BioSystems successfully demonstrated that ...

"The production of an automated robotic unit capable of preparinga surface for recoat, without the need to strip the surface tobare metal, can save the surface preparation industry tens ofmillions of dollars in time and clean-up costs by eliminatingslow and dangerous manual labor. The construction of a self-contained portable pump and vacuum unit to power the roboticcrawler created in Phase I wil ...

"There is a need for a personal radiofrequency radiation (RF) alarm that has the ability to detect high levels of electromagnetic field exposures, in both near and far-field situations, so that personnel can perform their duties without health hazards inenvironments mandated by DOD operations. This project will develop a small, inexpensive portable alarm to detect overexposures to RF electric and ...

"Accurately simulating sensor data is necessary to develop meaningful and effective decision support systems. This process requires the inclusion of all phenomena that significantly influence the data after propagation through the detection chain. Phase Ideveloped a prototype framework, methodology and simulation environment for propagating noise and uncertainty through components of a general d ...

"Compositex proposes to continue the development of a revolutionary, high-performance stealth UAV platform. The goal is to develop a small fixed-wing UAV platform that is quiet, undetectable by radar, and can sustain flight at very low airspeeds. Theproposed aircraft system utilizes an upper surface blowing device to propel and control the craft, and also enabling it to attain maximum lift coeff ...

"We propose to develop a knowledge based application for informationfusion and data monitoring. The Cyc Monitor will provide the end userwith the capability to seamlessly integrate multiple, semanticallyhetergenous data bases and knowledge sources within the Cyc knowledgebase, define high-level patterns, or concepts of interest, which mayappear directly or inferrentially among the disparate knowle ...

"We are building a portable stress-wave measuring instrument for sonic and ultrasonic wave speeds and resonant modes, suitable for rapid military pavement evaluation. Phase II tasks target ERDC/Tyndall AFB/university operational field testing, calibrationand manufacturing quality control, and hardware/software improvements."
