This SBIR Phase II research targets innovative means for controlling ectoparasite pests in open ocean aquaculture. Offshore fish farming offers tremendous growth opportunities. Adaptive fish health management offshore remains a challenge for environmentally sound expansion of this potentially lucrative industry. PEDICURe (Passive Ectoparasite Device In Counter-current Underwater Reservoir) prototy ...

Giant Grouper (E. lanceolatus) is one of the most desirable marine fish in the world. Its robust nature, tremendous growth rate, superb quality flesh and high value make it ideal for open ocean aquaculture. Phase I research marked the first time this species has been reared in the hatchery outside of Southeast Asia. Broodstock nutrition, spawning seasonality and lunar periodicity were defined. ...

This effort will be to develop an electronic attack prototype system, including a scaled target which would simulate the electro-optical signature of a threat missile and include a monopulse antenna and receiver. A test plan and measures of effectiveness will be developed. Testing and evaluation of the system would be conducted.

The recent advance in radar technologies utilizing high speed digital signal processing enabled the self-calibrating AMC jammer as an onboard selfprotection jammer for large standoff jamming and surveillance platforms. The use of noncoherent, cooperative dual-platform AMC jammers allows two separate platforms such as small aircrafts or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to collaboratively jam monopul ...

For efficient space operations, and for effective space force enhancement to terrestrial forces, Aerospace Operations Center (AOC) personnel must be continuously aware of the status of on-orbit assets, payload coverage, reacting to system degradations andfailures, and responding to intolerant environments for satellites. To complete the situational awareness picture, there is also the need to depi ...

Oceanit has successfully shown in Phase I that highly accurate (sub-arcsecond) observations are obtainable utilizing a relatively low-cost COTS system. These highly accurate angular observations can be introduced into the orbit determination process as asupplement to high-quality range data. These improved angular observations help resolve the geometric ambiguity of range-only orbit determinatio ...
