Phase I effort will develop an innovative Exploitation of Discrete GPS interference for Enhanced navigation (EDGE) technology. EDGE uses existing antenna configurations and RF front-ends on a missile platform (or similar platforms) to detect and locate GPS interferers (jammers and spoofers). Localized interference sources are then exploited for navigation, targeting, and guidance. Common approache ...

Tactical situation awareness (SA) is critical for ensuring the Warfighters situational dominance, especially during combat. SA can improve security, survivability and optimize lethality. The object of this SBIR is to develop a dual-mode transducer (B-Tac) that provides both bone conduction (BC) sound transmission and vibrotactile cues. The merit of each technology alone has been shown to enhance p ...

Polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl compounds (PFCs) have been used commercially since the 1940’s due to their high level of chemical stability, almost frictionless surface or waterproofing characteristics. Elevated levels of PFCs have been linked to cancer and other health problems including reproductive and developmental risks. PFOA and PFOS are amongst the most prevalent of the PFCs with low l ...

To reach the end user, oil and gas production at the wellhead must be transmitted through the country and distributed to a wide range of customers. This logistical system requires natural gas gathering lines, processing facilities, product storage tanks and lots of other equipment. What results is air pollution caused by industry losses during these operations and the use of continuous or intermit ...

The goal of this project is the formulation a rigid, insulating, low-density wood composite, with physical and thermal properties comparable to fossil fuel derived foams. _x000D_ _x000D_ To achieve energy conservation standards mandated by certification agencies such as Passive House and LEED, high performance buildings require multiple shells of insulation – an inner shell that contains electri ...

Florida Turbine Technologies (FTT) is seeking affordable turbo-generator technology combinations that improve Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) without compromising the reliability, noise, and power-to-weight advantages inherent to turbo-machinery.Recuperation offers 30%-50% reduction in SFC; however, three basic challenge areas of weight, durability, and cost have prevented widespread adoption in p ...

Legacy GPS receivers do not make use of the disciplined atomic oscillator flywheel output in GPS Disciplined Oscillator systems. The attached proposal shows how the disciplined oscillator signal can be used to improve GPS carrier and code tracking, mitigate multipath, jamming and spoofing, and to detect GPS receiver and satellite system anomalies. Using the disciplined oscillator as the frequency ...

The primary objective of this proposal is to develop a human-readable liquid ticket to improve detection of CWAs and other threat agents; and evaluate its sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility to develop a new detection method that compares favorably against the existing M8/M9 paper. iSense has successfully demonstrated capability in developing customized indicator arrays for detection of T ...

Attempts to reuse modern graphical software applications are met with difficulty because avionics applications are typically developed with a specific platform in mind; in these instances, portability is an afterthought. This proposal provides a solution for prioritizing and maximizing the reuse of graphical avionics systems by detailing an innovative software development process and reference arc ...

Demonstrate the feasibility of leveraging open standards commercially available technologies to develop hardware and waveform for the Next-Generation Encrypted Aircraft Wireless Intercom System (NG-EAWIS). A trade study will be performed between 802.11n (MIMO) and LTE to determine which waveform will meet performance specification in a high EMI environment. The proposed solution is a low risk appr ...
