We propose to develop an innovative concept of the high speed dynamic IRSP that combines components and devices from proven suppliers with novel system-level research topics from CDS and University of Delaware. Having previously built and delivered working LED IRSPs to users gives CDS a unique advantage. In line with system theme of the solicitation, our phase 1 research topics are focused on syst ...

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) platforms fit into the USAF Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance strategy by providing local persistence, operation in contested environments, and low probability of detection. SUAS gimbal performance is typically limited to full color full motion video, limiting target detection and identification information available to image analysts and detecti ...

ADA Technologies, Inc. proposes to transition our previously developed BB-2590 Hybrid Electrical Energy Storage System (HEESS) architecture into a Conformable Wearable Battery format, or CWB-HEESS (Figure 1). We seek to satisfy a meaningful, Army Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier need for a rechargeable, safe and high energy CWB. We anticipate the CWB-HEESS will have broad U.S. Dept. of Defen ...

To reduce size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-c), military platforms have been evolving towards more integrated platforms that utilize all available space. For radiating systems, this will require exploring innovative design methods, materials and manufacturing approaches to realize cost-effective, customizable and conformal antennas. An attractive solution to this challenge is offered by additive ...

Atmospheric monitoring on U.S. Navy submarines has been primarily based on mass spectrometry. However, the high cost of repair and the lack of field serviceability are drawbacks to this technique. Vescent Photonics proposes to design a dual comb spectrometer in the mid-infrared (3-12 m) wavelength region as an alternative atmospheric monitoring system. Dual comb spectroscopy can achieve high signa ...

In Phase I, XABC scaled the capability to produce nanostructured LCO cathodes using an electroplating process.In this phase II proposal, XABC proposes to further demonstrate this unique manufacturing capability to produce full cell batteries with enhanced performance and reduced cost in DLA products, as a precursor to XABC becoming a domestic manufacturer of electrochemical cells.This Phase II pro ...

Integrating EGS data with JMS is not trivial. Both are complex software systems and the integration requires knowledge of satellite C2, enterprise C2, and Space Situational Awareness (SSA) operations. Team Bluestaq is proposing the Advanced Command and Control Enterprise Systems and Software (ACCESS) project for creating the EGS/JMS bridge critical to achieving the Space Enterprise Vision for Ente ...

Current submarine air revitalization systems use liquid and/or solid amine-based carbon dioxide (CO2) removal technologies. The legacy hardware, using the liquid amines, is prone to scaling and other complications from the use of a liquid. These solvents also have a short lifetime which requires frequent replacement, and generates hazardous material wastes that are complicated to handle.TDA Resear ...

The next generation of Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) radio terminals are currently under development and the Navy is in need of improved thermal management to enable the current state of the art signal processing capabilities within the currently deployed fleet environment. Roccor proposed to leverage its FlexCoolTM technology in partnership with ViaSat to design, develop ...

OptTek proposes to research and design strategies for a highly effective simulation optimization and analysis concept that can execute large numbers of parallel simulation runs, identify optimal software-only changes to AAW components, represent explicit performance metric improvements, and integrate with the AEGIS Test Bed (ATB) environment. OptTek will extend and enhance its existing OptDef simu ...
