Advanced Hit Detection Systems
SBC: FREENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: MDA13015FreEnt Technologies, Inc. (FreEnt) and Johns Hopkins Universitys Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) are proposing a multiple-hit detection sensor called the Optical Lethality Measurement System (OLMS). This system is based on the Planar Optical Penetration Sensor (POPS) technology (originally developed and patented by APL) and prior art associated with the Blast Initiation Detector (BID). The BID is ...

Algorithms for Look-down Infrared Target Exploitation
SBC: SIGNATURE RESEARCH, INC. Topic: NGA18A001The multidisciplinary area of GEOINT is changing and becoming more complex. A major driver of innovation in GEOINT collection and processing is artificial intelligence (AI). AI is being leveraged to help accomplish spatial analysis, change detection, and image or video triage tasks where filtering objects of interest from large volumes of data is critical. NGA is confronting the changing GEOINT l ...

Li Ion Base Battery Model
SBC: Quallion LLC Topic: MDA05T014We will develop a life model for a battery consisting of twenty-four 15 Ah cells connected in a mixed series and parallel configuration. The battery life model will be used to provide high fidelity predictions of the charge and discharge performance of each individual cell in a battery over an extended battery life time. Testing will account for variables such as non-uniform cell temperatures, unb ...
