Rugged field spectrometers with no moving parts are needed for detecting chemical, biological, and explosive threats using the long wavelength infrared (LWIR)spectrum. QuantaSpec has successfully designed, developed, and tested a no moving parts spectrometer with a spectral range of 7 to 12 microns in a past project. This proposal will develop a rugged, simple, Wollaston prism spectrometer with ...

QuantaSpec has successfully designed and developed a no moving parts spectrometer with a spectral range of 7 to 12 microns in a past project. QuantaSpec has also built a functioning Wollaston prism spectrometer. This proposal will implem ...

The ultimate Virtual Environment system must free the user of const raining hardwire connections to the host computer or telepresence sensors. In addition to wirelessness, the headset must be unobtrusive and deliver a high quality image. We propose a research methodology and development program that will result in a wireless, low mass, high definition, wide FOV full color personal display ...

CMC proposes to develop an image overlay see-through display for a 4-tube night vision goggle system by integrating four of CMCs proprietary Holographic Imageguide Displays (HID) to provide a conformal full field of view (FOV) over a GPNVG.

In response to possible biological warfare (BW) attack, accurate sample acquisition and rapid detection of point microbial contamination on military equipment, housing and supplies is required for personnel safety and early response strategies. A novelhand-held, wet-vacuum sampling unit (VSU) is proposed, which will allow application of sterile rinse solutions onto diverse material surfaces or te ...

Higher efficiency collection of surface biocontamination with a novel wet-vacuum Microbial-VacT (M-Vac) system will improve speed and accuracy of pathogen detection. Field-portable systems will be designed and tested for practical coupling with RapidCulture Detection (RCD) for field screening of presumptive positives and confirmation with PCR or Solid Phase Laser Cytometry (SPLC). Phase I R&D dem ...

We propose to develop an intelligent assistant that enables the rapid creation and use of web services for the warfighter. We will design a web services toolbox, and a web-based assistant built on it, that extends public-domain interoperability technologies with capabilities for dynamic web service creation, tagging services and their history with semantic metadata, and browsing and invoking web s ...

NextGen Federal Systems (NextGen) seeks to integrate and operationalize existing capabilities and their SBIR results into a complete and operational Weather Machine Learning Platform (WxMLP). The proposed WxMLP Research to Operations effort directly addresses the Air Force Science and Technology Strategic Capability of Rapid, Effective Decision-Making. This Strategic Capability aims to increase th ...

This SBIR Phase II project will develop a new technology that provides 2D/3D/4D visualization of weather information within a commercial GIS (Geographic Information System) environment. GIS systems provide rich support for mapping, geographic data handling, spatial query, and geographic analysis functionality, but do not include native support for weather. GIS systems typically use static (atemp ...
