ADAPT: Allocation of Dynamic Attention across People & Teams
SBC: APTIMA INC Topic: AF06T003Effective task management is a critical component of mission success. As warfighters are given more information to monitor, however, their ability to detect and attend to critical information and tasks is stressed. An automatic task manager is needed to help ensure that responses to events occur in a timely manner. The foundation of such a tool is an accurate model of human dynamic attention. Many ...

Innovative Selective Nanocatalysts in Hydrocarbon RBCC Systems
SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC. Topic: AF06T019Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) and Purdue University (PU) propose to synthesize, characterize, and investigate the efficiency, reactivity, and selectivity of new nanocatalysts in hydrocarbon fuel liquid for RBCC applications. The nanocatalysts will have higher surface area/volume compared to conventional microcatalysts and films, thereby leading to faster reaction rates. Decreased coking will occur ...

Real-Time Resource Optimization of a UAV Network for Continuous Video Tracking
SBC: Parietal Systems, Inc. Topic: AF06T020Networks of UAV’s equipped with video sensors promise an affordable capability to keep track of moving ground targets of military interest in an urban environment in the presence of target occlusion, clutter, and other background traffic. But maintaining continuous track on multiple targets that move in and out of the field of view of any single UAV’s sensor poses a significant problem of cont ...

Aided Navigation: Theory and Applications for Sensors and Architectures
SBC: SCIENTIFIC SYSTEMS CO INC Topic: AF06T032The coupling of GPS and INS is often characterized as loose, tight, or ultra-tight depending on the nature of the GPS input to the navigation filter. Thus, considering the challenge of precision navigation without GPS, this project will test and validate the coupling of sensor (EO, IR) information such as ego-motion and position updates similar to the coupling of a GPS and INS system. This proje ...

Polymer-ceramic Nanocomposites for High Power Capacitors
SBC: AGILTRON, INC. Topic: AF06T002We propose to develop new polymer-ceramic nanoparticle composites for high power capacitors. The new approach combines the leading-edge nanomaterials development and manufacturing at Agiltron will transfer the high dielectric constant fillers to our new nanodielctrics with extremely improved breakdown strength and extensively lowered dielectric loss. We expect to fully overcome the problems of cu ...

CIFTS:Communications and Information Flow Tracking System
SBC: APTIMA INC Topic: AF06T027Electronic text chat has become a primary medium of communication throughout the military over the past fifteen years. In organizations such as the Air and Space Operations Center’s Dynamic Targeting Cell (DTC), it is used extensively among team members as they collaboratively process information about time sensitive targets for prosecution. To assure the highest degree of performance, operators ...

Adaptive Liquid Crystalline Elastomer Nanocomposites with a Unique Morphology
SBC: NEI CORPORATION Topic: AF06T017As part of the trend over the years of polymers replacing metals, substituting metallic wing skins with shape memory polymers (SMPs) that have excellent mechanical properties provides an opportunity to develop a new kind of morphing aircraft that can fulfil the needs of future military missions. Additionally, SMPs that can exert large recovery and regenerative stresses are needed for a broad range ...
