Analysts within the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) community have a challenging role, one that requires the ability to navigate and interpret mounds of data to produce responsive products during Phase 1 processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED). New tools and information displays continue to increase the complexity of the analysts workspace without established human-m ...

Expert, or resilient, teams have a deep and shared understanding of the situation, their own roles, and those of team members. This allows them to anticipate needs and coordinate implicitly, facilitating quicker decision-making. While these behaviors are critical to submarine tactical teams, they are not often explicitly emphasized within the existing training system. Largely, these non-technical ...

In this SBIR effort we will develop a high-power, high-speed photodiode (PD) receiver optimized for operation at 1 micron wavelength based on collaboration with Dr. J.C. Campbells research group at the UVA. Demand of such photonic receiver arose from the urgent need of high performance microwave photonic links that replace the conventional metal cables for better SWaP, immunity to EMI and broader ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) will provide the USMC with a lightweight, compact, deployable litter to meet the challenges of emergency evacuation and transport of Marines. Current litter/stretcher technology does not meet the strength requirements associated with vehicle high-g loading. During the Phase I Base program, PSI demonstrated a new litter architecture that not only meets the static equiva ...

Triton Systems’ team proposes to identify and develop a metamaterials-based lenses system capable of imaging beyond the diffraction limit in the visible spectrum. The use of negative index of refraction to resolve features beyond the diffraction index limit has been demonstrated for wavelengths outside of the visible. Triton’s team will expand the theory and experimentally demonstrate metama ...

In Phase I, UTC successfully demonstrated the ability to build 3D, high-to-low-Z graded alloys (GA) with Selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing (AM) techniques. In Phase II, UTC will fully automate and scale-up the GA AM process, and work with Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMCO) and Southern Research (SR) to fully characterize the process so components intended for use on LMCO missile syst ...

Our proposal specifically addresses the stated requirements of the solicitation; we will develop and deploy tools, methods, and models for enhancing the mission assurance of our nations embedded computing systems. As designs continue to progress in com

Most small/medium caliber munitions operate as point-detonation weapons without an air-burst capability which limits their effectiveness against hidden targets, scattered targets, and foot soldiers. The effectiveness of those weapons could be improved significantly by adding an air-burst capability to those munitions. A more effective approach is an active proximity sensor built into the projecti ...

Rugged, comfortable and reliable physiological monitoring systems are required to allow military commanders and medical personnel to assess the basic health and readiness of the warfighter. Direct monitoring of the health and status of individual warfighters is defined as a key capability for the next generation of warfighter ensemble. Monitoring every warfighter is stated as a system performance ...

In this proposal, AlphaSense, Inc. (AI) and the Oklahoma State University (OKState) detail the development of a novel Cavity Enhanced Terahertz Absorption Spectrometer (CETAS). Key innovations of the proposed system include: a) the use of a small Whispering- Gallery- Mode (WGM) cavity to achieve very long pathlength; and b) the integration of the WGM cavity with the conventional pulsed and continu ...
