Award Data

Satellite Imagery in Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), in conjunction with imagery intelligence (IMINT), geospatial information, and other means of gaining intelligence, has greatly improved the potential of the warfighter and decision makers enabling them to gain a more comprehensive perspective, an in-depth understanding, and a cross-functional awareness of the operational environment. The Artif ...

ABSTRACT: Create of a standalone UAV mission planer and simulator that advances fully autonomous UAV operations by providing a scalable mission development environment that generates downloadable mission and CONOPS packages. The envisioned system includes a development environment, a mission simulation environment, a simulation testbed, and an onboard embedded system. This development environment ...

Scientific Systems Company, Inc. (SSCI) in conjunction with our academic partners at MIT, propose the Intelligent, Fast Reinforcement Learning for ISR Tasking (IFRIT) system, to provide sophisticated autonomous end to end ISR mission execution capability. The IFRIT framework will enable real time adaptive mission planning that responds effectively to dynamic environments, leveraging reinforcement ...

RIPACS will provide a novel capability for small UAVs, specifically Group 4 5 vehicles such as the MQ8 Fire Scout, extending their autonomy from pre mission planning through to landing. Being able to fly through a series of waypoints is a well established capability, but human operators are required to layout plans, update plans based on incoming data and react to contingencies.  Requiring humans ...

Sophisticated high-fidelity Computational Electromagnetics simulation tools, such as HyPerComp’s HDPhysics-RF software toolset, allow for performance analysis of very complex antennas on full aircraft configurations for Navy applications. Many different antenna types such as passive phased array (PESA), active electronically scanned array (AESA), hybrid beam forming phased array, and digital bea ...

Spatial disorientation (SD) is a major factor in military aviation mishaps, leading to preventable loss of life and aircraft. Training methods such as advanced simulators and virtual reality (VR) have enjoyed recent advances; now, there is an urgent need for innovative methods to assess the severity of SD experienced by trainees, and to evaluate the effectiveness of knowledge, skills, and abilitie ...

Nearly every electronic module that is integrated into a Navy aircraft must pass MIL-STD-461 radiated emissions requirements (RE102), or Navy engineers must assess whether an exceedance of the radiated emissions limit is acceptable. To make a determination about a given exceedance, engineers must consider the specific emissions and how they could impact other electronic modules through coupling to ...

Quantum Ventura Inc in collaboration with leading experts in meta-optic design and fabrication, to develop and demonstrate an optical computing-based image recognition system through the use of inverse design.During Phase 1, we will 1) survey existing meta-optic methodologies, 2) design, model and analyze meta-optic device options, 3) fabricate and characterize a meta-optic sample, 4) advance work ...

Medium Voltage (MV) electrical power systems, particularly those operating in harsh marine environments, face difficult challenges. Surface contaminants and changes in the ambient air environment due to the presence of pollutants, salts and other contaminants play a significant role in the empirical properties of air within these environments. Without an effective way to measure the in-situ electr ...

STTR topic N22A-T012 seeks to develop a compact, survivable “black box” mission module to collect UUV mission data prior to a mine detonation. This data module must preserve the data and allow system operators to retrieve the data post-detonation. Areté, along with our academic partner Applied Research Lab – Penn State University, propose a hardened EDEX-BB (Expendable Data Exfiltration Bla ...
