The project aims to create a framework for real-time wearable sensor analysis that can be used to monitor warfighter health and readiness. There are two parts to the work: Framework and Model. The framework will be built on a smartphone and provides the flexibility to add any number of Bluetooth Low Energy wearable sensors and/or internal smartphone sensors while maintaining low energy consumption ...

This project will provide the capability of modeling of electromagnetics in systems with highly disparate space and time scales.  This will enable computing the interference by incident electromagnetics on electronic components inside of shielded volumes.  The interference arises because the electromagnetic radiation is able to leak through the seams and of such enclosures as well as through sma ...

By virtue of a Phase I Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract, Code 13 Security (doing business as Dark Sky Technology) has developed a Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 5 technology to translate type-unsafe source and binary software into the type-safe language Rust. The design of this system is innovative in its use of machine learning ...

To maintain spectrum dominance against insurgent, near-peer, and peer adversaries, it is imperative for the United States Armed Forces and Department of Defense (DoD) to expand our nation’s superior capabilities for functions across the radio frequency (RF) spectrum, including communications, wideband electronic attack (EA), and radar missions. While recent advances in exciter and amplifier tech ...

The dynamic geopolitical climate of recent years has shifted the focus of the United States Armed Forces and Department of Defense (DoD) away from insurgency and toward near-peer adversaries. Maintaining battlefield dominance against well-equipped and highly capable military forces requires innovative, capable, adaptable, and scalable radio frequencies (RF) technologies—particularly those suppor ...

Coatings are used throughout the US military for corrosion protection and wear resistance, for appearance and signature control, and for its ability to be cleaned and/or decontaminated. Decontamination of surfaces is a critical issue for the armed forces not only from the potential use of chemical and biological warfare agents by our adversaries, but also to prevent the spread of infectious diseas ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) of rhenium through laser powder bed fusion has distinct advantages over traditional rhenium manufacturing approaches. Advantages include economical low volume production and rapid design iteration due to elimination of die tooling and the ability to manufacture complex features such as conformal cooling channels into structurally optimized components. However, AM of rhe ...

Under this Phase II effort, NAVSYS will develop a handheld app and networking technologies for information exchange with sensors in a tactical environment. Developed on an Android device and deployed for CONOPS like those supporting TIGR, the application will provide real-time RF propagation (communications) performance parameters in urban, rural, and littoral environments for fixed and mobile ass ...

Radios and tablets offer unprecedented amounts of data to warfighters. However, processing this data can be difficult on the battlefield. The cognitive requirements on soldiers can become a detriment in dynamic and fast-moving environments. As a result, DARPA has identified a need to provide warfighters with a new tactical edge via clear, robust, immediately actionable information (such as situati ...

ColdQuanta, Inc. in collaboration with its partner Vescent Photonics, LLC will build a Rack-Integrated, Mountable Rubidium Optical Clock (RIMROC) to serve as a portable, ultra-stable frequency reference. RIMROC leverages the industry-leading capability of both organizations in quantum atomic technology and integrated laser systems to form a frequency reference that brings both precision timing and ...
