ABSTRACT:Solid State Scientific Corporation (SSSC) is pleased to propose the development and demonstration of a wide area (WA) multi-threat hostile fire indication (HFI) system for remotely-piloted aircraft (RPA).The HFI system consists of a comparatively wide field of view sensor that employs miniature optics and a custom short-wave infrared (SWIR) camera based on a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS ...

ABSTRACT: Size, weight, and power (SWaP) limitations restrict the ability of airborne radar systems to detect low-observable moving targets such as dismounts and slow vehicles in strong clutter. Solid State Scientific Corporation has developed a unique ground moving target indication signal processing algorithm which is ideal for SWaP limited systems due to its computational efficiency and its sen ...

The ultimate goal of KBSI in this effort is to develop methods, a process and algorithms to decipher the hidden rules or logic of complex traffic patternstraces of aircraft, people and equipment on aircraft carriers, and demonstrate technologies for Automated Rule Learning from Data Traces. We call this system for automated rule learning from data traces TraceLogic.Operations on aircraft carriers ...

RDRTec Inc. proposes to develop radar videoSAR algorithms that enable simultaneous tracking and imaging for Pulse Doppler radar systems that can be applied to both imaging guidance and surveillance radars. The proposed work extends ongoing Maritime and Overland Classification Aids (MOCA) development activities to incorporate videoSAR imaging and exploitation capability to support detection and ima ...

RDRTec Inc. propose to develop innovative methods to exploit wake signature attributes for the small boat threat classification and feature aided tracking by airborne radar systems. For small maneuvering vessels, the wake can dominate the hard body signature and the sea spikes and breaking waves induced false alarms can overload the fingerprinting and classification algorithms. This effort will se ...

The detection, tracking and identification of targets, and subsequent prosecution is very challenging in dynamic environments, and traditional methodologies rely on an operator to analyze all the available information to identify what is actionable, and subsequently modify asset tasking. The robust, efficient, and reliable classification, identification (i.e., fingerprinting) and tracking techniqu ...

H6 Systems proposes building a transmitter based on a modified coupled cavity TWT from CPI to increase coverage of MIL-STD-464C. Present testing methods are lacking in the coverage of power for frequencies from 3.0 3.3 GHz. The new transmitter will allow testing at both peak and average powers and will fill requirements for fields shipboard not in the main beam.

All military and many commercial aviators are required to undergo periodic hypoxia training to recognize the onset of hypoxic conditions and practice recovery skills. Current training is performed with the Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device 2 (ROBD2) which mixes oxygen and nitrogen to produce reduced oxygen concentration air mixtures representative of hypoxic conditions. However, the ROBD2 requires b ...

This project aggregates, adapts and leverages the optimum technology for each function in a heterogeneously integrated power stage (HIPS) for package-integrated voltage regulators (PIVRs):Gallium arsenide (GaAs) die - monolithically integrate multiple lateral field effect transistors (FETs) using a high-volume foundry. Sardas technology reduces the GaAs cost by >80% by reducing the die size and en ...

Timely management and closure of burn wounds are critical for proper emergency care and the assurance of positive outcomes for the warfighter. Current technologies rely on reagents that cannot respond effectively to the different classes of pathogens that
