An internal aircraft weapons bay, when exposed to freestream flow, experiences an intense aeroacoustic environment and varied suppression concepts have been tested for attenuating flow-induced oscillations. Recent tests with open-loop, high-frequencyexcitation have shown great promise in providing broadband attenuation and elimination of tones. High frequency actuation apparently alters the dyna ...

The proposed SBIR Phase II effort will build upon the demonstration success of the Phase I effort for the reduction of viable Biological Warfare (BW) agent (stimulant) release from a scaled target structure, concurrent with denial of the use of the BWagent remaining within the target structure to minimize collateral damage potential form the engagement of a threat BW storage facility. The Phase I ...

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 ...

This proposal outlines a program to develop a complete Stokes polarization imaging system. Although conventional imaging techniques have undergone fairly advanced levels of development, enabling low-level light detection, IR imaging, and high-resolutionimaging all at rapid frame rates, the techniques nevertheless are fundamentally constrained to detection of only the intensity and color of light. ...

Based on the outline for a theory of intelligence, and using NIST's hierarchical real-time control system (RCS) architecture, in Phase I, we developed proof-of-concept OpenSim and OpenAnimation toolboxes consisting of the following innovations, namely, (i) Simulation and Animation Software Design that will seamlessly interface with RCS Hierarchy, (ii) Knowledge hierarchy consistent with the f ...

We propose to develop software products for embedded, real-time monitoring of machinery health and failure prediction. The work will be based on new damage estimation, tracking, and prognostic algorithms that have been successfully developed in Phase I.Existing algorithms have been applied to data from the Boeing Reconfigurable Control and Fault and Identification System (RCFIS), an F/A-18 stabil ...

The interaction of radio frequency electromagnetic energy with the human body is best computed with finite difference methods. For good accuracy, especially at higher frequencies, the human body description requires many millions of individual voxels. Thevoxels fill the entire volume of the body and describe both the outer surface and interior organs of the body. Making one detailed voxel mesh o ...

We propose to continue our Phase I effort in Phase II by implementing the GPS anti-jam attitude-capable adaptive antenna technology into a C/A-code prototype and a P-code software development toolkit with an extension to the new M-code. The hardwareprototype will consist of an array antenna, RF front-ends, a PC-based data acquisition system, a PC-hosted DSP system, power supply, and other auxiliar ...

The objective of SBIR Phase I project has been successfully accomplished, beyond the proof-of-concept study. The achievements include: (1) developed an innovative M-integral method; (2) developed and validated 2-D environmentally induced degradationmodels; (3) implemented autoadaptive mesh technology in composite bonded joints, especially in the region of stress concentrations; (4) demonstrated th ...

The innovation of this SBIR Phase II project is the development of a new and advanced, proprietary innovation called Dynamic Constrained Resource Efficiency Optimization (DCREO). DCREO consists of optimized security and adaptive presentation methods thatwhen combined, will expend 20X fewer resources, but yet still provide highly scalable fortress-like security mechanisms and high quality profile-t ...
