Award Data

Current airborne sensors (e.g., EO/IR/Radar/EW) produce very large volumes of data, but the airborne battle managers aboard BMC2 platforms do not have the appropriate Big Data analytics to process the massive data. This represents a missed opportunity to

"The increasing complexity of devices, reduced budgets and accelerated program timelines, requires a new approach to predicting radiation of integrated circuit (IC) designs. Most approaches to date require gate level analysis and do not scale easily to device level calculations, leading to methods that are not practical under most program timeline and cost budgets. Previously, DfR Solutions has ...

Signal Systems Corporation (SSC) will develop a Maritime Acoustic Relative VELocity (MARVEL) sensor to measure the Doppler shift of an ultrasonic signal induced by the relative motion between an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and the deck. SSC will demonstrate the feasibility of using an innovative, small, lightweight, low-cost array of directional ultrasound sensors to produce real-time tracking v ...

ACTIVATED STEEL FOIL FABRICATED INTO ELEMENTS TO BE PACKAGED AS EXPENDABLE DECOYS HAS SHOWN GOOD PERFORMANCE IN LOW IR SIGNATURE APPLICATIONS. THE PRESENT BATCH PRODUCTION PROCESS FOR THESE FOILS ENTAILS, IN PART, TWENTY HOURS OF FURNACE TREATMENT. A COMBINATION OF NINE SEPARATE OPERATIONS, LOW PRODUCTION RATES AND HIGH LABOR COSTS YIELDS A UNIT MANUFACTURING COST OF MORE THAN $250.00. WE PROPOSE ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS TASK IS TO DEFINE ONE OR MORE APSE(S) FOR THE AIRMICS COMMAND BASED ON THE DEVELOPMENT, ENHANCEMENT, AND MAINTENANCECHARACTERISTICS FOR MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS (MISS). APSE(S) WILL BE FORMED FOR THESE THREE MAJOR DOMAINS, WITH EMPHASIS ON LARGE, MEDIUM, AND SMALL SYSTEMS. DURING PHASE I, RESEARCH IS PERFORMED TO IDENTIFY EXISTING CASE TOOLS, ENVIRONMENTS, METHODOLOGIES ...

Conventional vehicle armor has evolved considerably over the years, including homogeneous plates, composite materials, and reactive substrates.Variable orientations have also been implemented, including curved, sloped, angled, and spaced plates.A common characteristic among these conventional armor solutions is that they are static and incapable of changing in response to local threats.Adding a me ...

HF SIGNAL FADING FREQUENTLY RESULTS FROM MUTUALLY INTERFERING MULTIPATH SIGNAL EFFECTS CAUSED BY GROUND OR OCEAN REFLECTION OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES ALONG DIVERSE PROPAGATION PATHS. THIS PHASE I SBIR PROGRAM EXPLOITS INNOVATIVE NONLINEAR DYNAMICAL (NDL) SIGNAL PROCESSING METHODOLOGIES TO MODEL, PREDICT AND MINIMIZE THE UNDERLYING ELECTRODYNAMIC SYSTEM PROCESSES, THEREBY REDUCING BACKGROUND NOI ...

Layer-by-layer additive manufacturing (AM) has been flourishing. The next generation AM will be hybrid which includes 3D AM printer, CNC mill, micro-milling capability, CAD/CAM, pick-and-place tool and many interchangeable print engines. In other words, this next generation of printers will be a completely computer integrated system. For the last four years, we have been integrating an industr ...

Recommender systems have achieved great success in the commercial world, and also hold a strong potential for providing a major advantage to analysts and planners in the military domain. However, in order to realize this potential, a number of key challe...
