A majority of U.S. adults own a cell phone and are inclined to use it in emergency situations to call for assistance. Unfortunately, in areas where the density of cell towers is low, such as in rural and off-shore environments, the ability of the wireless network to geolocate the origin of the wireless signal is poor to non-existent. Under the proposed effort, Toyon Research Corporation will devel ...

The US Special Operations Forces (SOF) missions include a variety of short-duration, covert operations (e.g. enemy capture, personnel recovery, intelligence/information gathering) which require extensive operational planning and rehearsal. To assist in planning, accurate 3D physical models of sensitive indoor areas or enemy-occupied buildings is desired; however, obtaining data to build such model ...

Space Micro will develop an innovative payload that can be hosted onboard a nanosatellite/ CubeSat bus, for the advancement of USSOCOM capabilities in rapid intelligence collection, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). This R&D will improve and enhance capabilities in intelligence collection, surveillance, and reconnaissance from new spaceborne platforms.

Skeyeon, Inc. has developed all technologies necessary to orbit an Earth Observation, EO, satellite at 250 km, developing a vehicle design; atomic oxygen resistant, low drag materials; high bandwidth, real-time RF links; electric propulsion for 3 year missions; and a 1 meter resolution optical telescope compressed into a 10 cm high framework. A constellation of 100’s-1,000’s of these vehicles ...

Toyon Research Corp. proposes a feasibility study including all promising techniques for enabling SOCOM’s desired Multi-FMV Fusion 3D Capability, which is intended to reduce operator cognitive burden and enhance multi-source surveillance data exploitation. Key topics to consider include multi-platform FMV registration and fusion, 3D model reconstruction, fused video rendering, and artificial int ...

As Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile devices become increasingly popular and widely used, the security of the firmware running on these devices is paramount.However, due to the lack of an efficient and scalable analysis framework, combined with the increasing pressure to get products to market as quickly as possible, the software running on these devices is never properly checked for security vu ...

Traditional munition guidance packages rely on the Global Positioning System (GPS) or laser designation technologies to target an operator defined location. However, if either of these systems cannot operate, whether they are being actively denied by the enemy or from harsh environmental conditions, the guidance package will fail to function as designed. Toyon Research Corporation proposes to crea ...

The objective of this proposal is to develop a robust, lightweight and compact device for re-heating and maintaining the temperature of a divers inspired breathing gas when diving on a closed circuit underwater breathing apparatus for the duration of the dive. As a solution, Simuleer proposes to develop the Hybrid Energy Abiotic Thermoelectric (HEAT) system based on a high-power hybrid (i.e. passi ...

SeaLandAire Technologies, Inc. (SLA) proposes to meet this Group 2 need with an electric drive concept that will be capable of a 20-30 lbs. modular payload, with comparable range and endurance to current grp 2 ISR UAS, while still maintaining sufficient ISR capabilities. This UAS concept is able to covertly and safely deliver payload to within 1 meter accuracy, then extract a different payload an ...

To address the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) need for a cell phone location finder for maritime and remote search and rescue (SAR), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new REmote Phone Locator for Improved Emergency Rescue (REPLIER). REPLIER leverages novel techniques recently developed at POC to extend the range of cellular communications and integrate commercial cellu ...
