The Persistent UNmanned Team (PUNT) Phase II objective is to continue the development of  PUNT to address the problem of using UAS to persistently survey an area for an extended period of time, recharging as necessary and tracking identified targets at user request.   PUNT will provide a software package with the reasoning and coordination to achieve persistent surveillance by dealing with sev ...

We propose to continue Phase II development of the Intelligent Detection of Human-generated Threats (IDEHT) system, which will use artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to detect emerging human-generated physical threats to Army installations by monitoring open source and security-related data sets. Our innovative approach includes analyzing potentially threatening individuals ...

To address the Army PEO Aviation need for secure architecture concepts and components for development of common avionics display technologies, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (Intellisense) proposes to continue development, in Phase II, of the new Secure Modular Architecture for Reusable Transfer of Display Data (SMART-2D) proven feasible in Phase I. SMART-2D implements Future Airborne Capabilities Env ...

ATA Engineering, Inc. (ATA), partnered with a nonprofit research institution, CUBRC, Inc., (CUBRC), proposes a Phase II STTR project to further develop and continue validating a novel multiphysics simulation technology. The project team will implement the technology in a fluid-structure-material interaction (FSMI) software toolset that incorporates mutual interactions between aerodynamics and stru ...

Passenger’s objective is to create an inexpensive, “light weight” F16 flight simulator incorporating our eXtended Reality (XR) headset that will provide 4K resolution, 220 deg field-of-view, continuous depth perception, and high contrast imaging.  The low mass headset will resemble a pair of wrap-around sunglasses.  Our XR technology is designed to deliver hyper-realistic images without in ...

A new high efficiency, modularized, low frequency vibration energy harvesting system has been developed for power generation from environmental low frequency vibration or human activity. 

Cerium Labs is reporting the results of its STTR Phase I funding for a silicon nitride seal for thermal barrier coating in gas turbines for extended engine life. Gas Turbine Engines (GTEs) operate at high temperatures, submersed in a high density gas. Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) are widely used to protect the engine superalloys from oxidation and other degradation. A breakdown in TBC coatin ...

Nahsai is advancing breakthrough materials and manufacturing techniques for commercial non-Defense sensing applications in extreme environments. Solutions are based on patented polymer-derived ceramic materials and fabrication techniques that enable electrical and mechanical property tailoring of devices that survive in conditions of extreme heat, pressure, and oxidative environments.  These tech ...

A high-performance electrical power system is integral to the success of a smallsat mission. In order to successfully integrate the HPEPS into the vehicle, a systematic approach to vehicle design must be undertaken to ensure all aspects are accounted for. The scope of this effort includes the design, fabrication, qualification and integration of spacecraft hardware and software to demonstrate and ...

Physicians are highly burned out (up to 80% of physicians) and the COVID-19 pandemic is making this problem much worse; Department of Defense doctors are at higher risk (caring for more patients per capita).  Burnout may manifest itself as sustained stress; but also leads to severe effects such as physician suicides, physician drug abuse, and increased patient medical errors.  Electronic health ...
