In response to the A13-004 Remote Triage of Combat Casualties solicitation, MaXentric proposes the VitalWave system. The VitalWave system uses Doppler radar and radar imaging to assess the vital signs individuals. The use of Doppler radar allows for a system that can measure vital signs with no direct contact required. This allows first responders the ability to assess the vital signs of multiple ...

The SBIR Phase I effort demonstrated that a successful Subsea Long Haul Optical Transponder (SLOT) design for transmitting data from a branched sensor node onto a trunk cable and back to a shore terminus must consider the overall trunk cable system transmission characteristics. The SBIR Phase I study resulted in a viable SLOT concept. The Phase II effort develops the Core Transponder Module (CTM) ...

The Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC) needs accurate, autonomous techniques for atmospheric correction of airborne imaging sensors to support flight testing, specifically validation of Noise-Equivalent Differential Temperature (NEDT) capabilities of Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) sensors used for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) applications. A key aspect of validating NEDT spec ...

MaXentric is proposing a novel C2 network solution capable of interconnecting wireless devices simultaneously over different wireless technologies (military and/or commercial) either operating in peer-to-peer mode or using a wireless infrastructure. Our s

Centeye will develop a modular and reconfigurable vision-based system that will allow micro and nano air vehicles to operate autonomously in near-Earth environments without the use of GPS. The system will weigh between 1 and 12 grams, depending on the specific configuration. The system will support supervised autonomy, at flight speeds up to 10 meters/sec, in which a human operator provides high l ...

For this Phase II SBIR, Princeton Lightwave Inc. (PLI) is proposing to demonstrate disruptive single photon counting performance characteristics of Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode (GmAPD) cameras by making dramatic improvements to existing commercial short wave infrared GmAPD focal plane arrays. These cameras provide high-performance three-dimensional imaging capability for intelligence, surveil ...

During Phase II, we will prototype the PCIC imager; characterize its dark count rate, quantum efficiency, gain, crosstalk, bandwidth, jitter, etc., as a function of the bias voltages and temperatures; perform environmental testing including operating temperature, vibration and thermal testing; compare between design specifications, model, simulation, and analysis and measured PCIC performance; del ...

SciTec has developed a system for post engagement evaluation and reporting (SPEER) that combines a multi-phenomenology, multi-source fusion engine with a human-machine interface (HMI) to correlate messages, system tracks and multi-source data, further exploits this data and displays information to provide situational awareness to include post engagement assessments. SPEER incorporates the remote ...

Although protocols for securing email have been available for over twenty years, these protocols, by nature of their use of asymmetric cryptography, require users to have the public key or certificate of the correspondents. Grier Forensics will develop technology to use the Domain Name System (DNS) to distribute certificates and keys, making email secure, authenticated, and confidential, curbing t ...

US manufacturing has a clear need to use advanced computing to increase its competitiveness. The Department of Energy has performed considerable research and development of high performance computers and advanced parallel software that can tackle the most sophisticated physics problems. These advancements can be better utilized by American industry. The competitiveness problem is being addressed ...
