This proposal for a Ka-band Spread Spectrum terminal presents a unique affordable design approach for On-the-move satellite communications. Over the past 5 years Alico Systems has been involved in the design and development of low cost phased array antennas for the DoD. Our most recent product for the Army is based on a 2 dimensional affordable X-band broadband phased array design. For this Ka-ban ...

Nu-Trek is proposing a revolutionary two-speed, 30 Hz/960 Hz, digital readout out integrated circuit (DROIC) that simultaneously provides very high resolution images (18-20 bits) at 30 Hz and lower resolution images (10-12 bits) at up to 960 Hz. Power consumption is about 50 mW for a moderate format DROIC. This performance is unprecedented and will enable a widespread implementation of dual speed ...

This readout integrated circuit (ROIC) will provide an all-digital system-on-chip solution for creating dual frame rate hybrid image sensors in combination with a wide variety detector materials. This ROIC will contain intelligent image processing capabilities along with binning, windowing, and digital zoom functions to maximize the number of applications to which it may be applied. Its high dua ...

Reducing the personal signature of the warfighter, while simultaneously allowing him to"see, breathe and hear"is critical to mission success. Methods of concealment that are suitable for the body do not adequately mask the face without hindering the ability to"see, breathe and hear". To address the need for reducing signature in the Visible and NIR/SWIR region Performance Indicator, LLC (PI) pro ...

Pacific Blue Innovations proposes to develop a facial signature reduction system which would reduce observable NIR and FIR signatures under varied field conditions.

Unit testing is the prevailing approach used by programmers worldwide to verify their decisions and assumptions on a unit, or module level. Even with the advent of automated unit-test frameworks, a programmer"s knowhow can seldom be shared with other programmers; in addition, no tool alerts to programmer about the concerns associated with his or her on-the-fly programming decisions. Our proposed i ...

The preparation of training materials is a labor-intensive process. It typically starts with manual task analysis or knowledge elicitation sessions requiring significant time commitments from both training professionals and SMEs. Those products must then be manually transformed into the building blocks for training content development and learning assessment. Clearly it would be of great benefit t ...

A wealth of sensor data is available to address the information needs of tactical Warfighters. However, this data resides in diverse, large, remote data stores. Delivering actionable information to the Warfighter requires discovering the relevant sources, retrieving relevant information, integrating the data so that it can be fused, and performing level one fusion. Since the preoccupied Warfighter ...

Effective information sharing services across the networked assets can provide a systemic benefit to DoD. The scale and complexity of DoD information enterprise and unavailability of user friendly access mechanisms makes optimal use of intelligence data difficult. UtopiaCompression proposes a cloud based Critical Knowledge Retriever (CKR) for PDA's. The system will use the capabilities of clo ...

Video sensors have undoubtedly become important sources of intelligence in the modern warfare to provide battlespace situational awareness. However, burgeoning numbers of battlespace sensors and the sheer volume of collected video data make it very difficult for battlefield decision makers to grasp a global picture of developing events as well as to detect specific events in real time. Video data ...
