Award Data

Navigation and communication systems have traditionally been developed separately resulting in the use of redundant hardware on the same platform for different purposes. In addition, authentication has generally been an afterthought, added on only after t

Tear film biomarkers have recently emerged as a promising diagnostic tool for a range of ocular and systemic diseases. Recent advances in tear film analysis have enabled the identification of specific biomarkers that can serve as reliable indicators of va

Monitoring human health and performance is critical to protecting and sustaining warfighters throughout military operations and training. Studies have evaluated soldier psychophysiological responses, and detriments to visual perception and complex motor p

Food irradiation technology has attracted more attention in the past decade given that it can provide a sustainable solution on how to address pathogen contamination in food. X-ray irradiation has several advantages compared to other irradiation technologies including superior penetrating quality compared to electron beams, and considerably larger dose rate compared to gamma rays. However, the low ...

Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) is a paradigm necessitating modern simulation testbeds. Existing solutions address some of these task requirements, human factors constructs, and domains separately, however they are not designed for research w

krtkl (“critical”) will conduct a Phase I Feasibility Study to identify the best approach for reducing aviator cognitive load by optimizing information delivery and decision-making based on a thorough analysis of existing platforms, sensors, data sources, and onboard compute resources. This information will be used to identify Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning based algorithms for p ...

Sensor systems aboard aircrafts address unique problems and are siloed in their objectives. A data silo is a term used to describe a data system that is insulated from other data systems. While keeping information categorized may lead to easier organization, the costs often outweigh the benefits. In aviation systems, data silos often lead to miscommunication, cognitive overload, and waste. These d ...

In manned aviation environments – both military and commercial – AI support is being developed and researched for ground-based planning and operational decision support. Using AI in real-time with crews poses additional questions and issues. This research will provide the means to understand the measures and requirements to architect potential AI-Agent solutions before implementation. This fea ...

In this Phase I effort, Tiami, LLC, aims to develop and demonstrate a hardware proof of concept for a collaborative multi-robot system (MRS) that leverages imitative augmented deep reinforcement learning (IADRL) amongst heterogeneous uncrewed systems (robots) to achieve a common task. Collaboration is based on low-latency machine-to-machine wireless links between robots that use both RF and optica ...

Ad Hoc Swarm Modulation and Adaptation focuses on the ability to enable secure cyber communications, data, and distributed AI processing for any robotic swarm in any condition.  The system incorporates a range of multi-robotic system functionality to allow for coordination, cooperation, and reconfigurable methods of robotic teams, flocks, and swarms.  The system further includes methods for swar ...
