Searching for street parking, a behavior known as cruising for parking, leads to excess congestion and pollution. Many recent smart parking interventions have attempted to address this issue, but the problem of effectively detecting and measuring cruising remains largely unsolved. The goal of this work is to develop methods to detect and measure cruising for parking and its effects on congestion u ...

SCRIPT: Safety Critical, Real-time, Intelligent Passenger Transport App for Smartphones via Always-on Global Internet Connection 12/21/2016 Providing railroad passenger information via smartphones improves the passengers’ traveling experience with added value on train safety and security enhancement. In this project, InfoBeyond advocates the development of Safety Critical, Real‐time, Intell ...

KCF Technologies in partnership with Lockheed Martin, Inc. proposes a lightweight, low drag, quasi-active noise control system to reduce the acoustic signatures of existing SOF fixed wing aircraft. The proposed solution is based on integrating flow-excited resonators near the blade tips of the propeller, commonly the aircrafts major noise source. The resonators are tuned actively to generate anti- ...

The opportunity sought after in this proposed effort is the replacement of existing underperforming components within UAV engines with advanced CMC materials that will offer reduced weight, higher temperature capabilities, improved lifetime, and the possible elimination of any cooling requirements. The advanced CMC material development will depend upon the selected engine component and concerns r ...

Tau Technologies leads a team with proven experience in applying technology to solve real world challenges. Our program manager was the Principal Investigator at Battelle Memorial Institute on a project that successfully developed and demonstrated a 300-meter range, man-portable facial recognition system for SOCOM. This proposal will incorporate newer technology and algorithms to improve accurac ...

In response to DoD SBIR topic SOCOM17-002 Moisture Wicking Pathway Treatment for Textiles, Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT) proposes to develop an innovative moisture channeling textile which has the ability to control the moisture transportation through certain pathways on the textile. With the unique wettability pattern designs, moisture generated from the skin can travel along the pre- ...

ATA proposes to conduct feasibility studies and develop a CubeSat Laser Communications (CubeSat LaserCom) system that enables high data rate communications from a CubeSat to ground terminals, GEO terminals, and other CubeSats. Our proposed CubeSat LaserCom terminal integrates advanced ATA line-of-sight stabilization, tracking and pointing technologies with space-qualified laser and detector techn ...

When imaging over long distances, atmospheric turbulence between the camera and subject degrades the collected data limiting the effective resolution, regardless of the quality of the optic and sensor used. This reduction in image quality can have serious impacts on the ability to carry out missions by reducing situational awareness and preventing target identification. EM Photonics has been worki ...

sci_Zone is seeking to develop LinkStar, an integrated flight computer and radio system/hosted payload for cubesats. The goal of this payload is to become the heart of future cubesats to provide a secure, high performance flight computer with integrated communications framework that uses no more than 3W average power and fits within 0.5U. The heart of the LinkStar system is the Xilinx Zynq UltraS ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH PROJECT IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF MERGING AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) SIMULATOR WITH GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) IN ORDER TO PRODUCE IEMS(3) (INTELLIGENT EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES SYSTEMS SIMULATOR), A PC-BASED SYSTEM WHICH CAN BE USED FOR BOTH ADDRESSING STRATEGIC PLANNING ISSUES OF EMS SYSTEMS (E.G., SYSTEM CONFIGURATION; VEHICLE LOCATION ...
