Impact Technologies proposes to develop a Matlab/SimulinkT based Probabilistic Modeling and Analysis Toolbox (P-MAT) application that provides an intuitive and information-rich modeling environment for probabilistic reliability analysis with a powerful toolset consisting of Bayesian Update, Monte Carlo, 3rd party software integration and other modules. At the conclusion of Phase I, the USAF will ...

During this program, multifunctional (smart) piping system technology will be developed for used on the Airborne Laser (ABL). This system, which was demonstrated in phase I, has a multifunctional design with integrated containment and leak detection functionality. The smart piping system design uses lightweight materials in conjunction with integrated sensors to achieve an advanced lightweight pi ...

AS ELECTRONICS BECOME SMALLER THROUGH MINIATURIZATION, THE ABILITY TO FLY ELECTRONIC PACKAGES OVER LARGE DISTANCES IS BECOMING MORE LIMITED BY THE LACK OF GENERATORS DESIGNED TO OPERATE IN THE LOW POWER, HIGH RPM RANGE. IN RESPONSE TO THIS PROBLEM, A PROGRAM TO DEVELOP A VOLTAGE MULTIPLIED HOMOPOLAR GENERATOR (VMHPG) IS PROPOSED. THE SYSTEM IS BASED ON THE WELL KNOWN HOMOPOLAR GENERATOR PRINCIPLE ...

Today's battlefield environment contains large number of sensors onboard multiple platforms. This set of sensors types includes SAR, EO/IR, GMTI, AMTI, HSI, MSI, and video and for each sensor type there may be multiple modalities. In an attempt to maximize sensor performance, today's sensors employ either very simplistic tasking approaches or require an operator to manually change sensor tasking o ...

A FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IN AUTOMATIC TARGET RECOGNITION (ATR) IS THE OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF SENSOR DATA WHICH MUST BE PROCESSED. MANY ADVANCED ATR ALGORITHMS WHICH REDUCE THE FALSE ALARM RATE CANNOT BE EXECUTED IN REAL TIME DUE TO COMPUTATIONAL COMPLEXITY. THIS LIMITS OVERALL SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. IN ATR, THE FEATURES THAT MUST BE RESOLVED ARE LOCALIZED WITHIN THE FIELD-OF-VIEW (FOV) OF THE SENSOR. UN ...

Applied Visions, Inc.(AVI) proposes to leverage the technology of computer games to provide a powerful new method of predicting and visualizing the potential movement of time critical moving targets for operators of the FCS and FFW networked effects nodes. Our research will build upon the results of a similar SBIR project sponsored by the Navy for the Tactical Tomahawk Weapon Control System (TTWC ...

This SBIR Phase I project will develop a health and motion monitoring sensor and analysis system to support the return of military personnel with prosthetic devices to active duty. DoD is allowing increasing numbers of Soldiers with prosthetics to return to active duty if they are performance capable, minimizing the loss of their valuable core expertise to the services. There are significant cha ...

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Military Satellite Communication (MILSATCOM), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have a current and future need for advanced commercially available inherently radhard primitive cell libraries to support new designs for satellites and other spacecraft. American Semiconductor Inc. proposes the use of double gated Flexfet technology for ...
