Use of"Smartphones"and cellular networks is becoming an increasing priority for military applications. By placing the source of information directly with the solider on the ground via a Smartphone, the vision of"every soldier a sensor"becomes attainable. mZeal proposes to facilitate this vision with the Adaptive Multi-Media Streaming for Android (AMMSTAR) system. AMMSTAR will capture photographic ...

This project is dedicated to the development of an adaptive network security management tool that is analogous to implementing and incident/response paring mechanism on top of a universal remote control facility for a variety of network and security tools, network types and operating systems. Our proposed approach to accomplishing this is to integrate and agent architecture with a Case-Based Reas ...

Mountain Wave, Inc. proposes to investigate the development of an automated network security management product that would allow personnel within an Information Technology (IT) organization to combine information from heterogeneous sources into an integrated application that captures business processes and automates tasks to "prevent" potential security violations. This product will: be "extensib ...

The penetration of hyperspectral sensing from either airborne or spaceborne platforms into both commercial and defense applications, has risen the need for efficient data transmission and storage. This efficiency can be provided by data compression technology that exhibits sufficient compression ratio at no or minimal loss of information and can perform the task in real or near real time. This P ...

The program objective is to demonstrate enhanced antenna element gain enhancement for small light weight synthesized virtual antennas. Astron/VPI have proposed a series of innovative helicalantennas to support the improved performance of a multi-element synthesized virtual antenna.

The increasing number and complexity of HLA-based distributed simulation exercises has created an urgent need for a suite of commercially-supported HLA Runtime Analysis and Monitoring (RAM) tools. These tools must provide a clear, accurate and timely view into the dynamic virtual battlefield and its supporting infrastructure while also providing supervisory control of all federates. Mak Technolo ...

We are proposing a triple defense system in a single compounded thin elastomeric material, to provide both physical permeation barrier as well as chemical and biological deactivation barrier without sacrificing the elastomeric properties of the proposed elastomers. The initial physical barrier is an alloyed ethylene-vinylalcohol ultrathin layer protected by the elastomer (better PVA coploymers wi ...

This Phase I project will examine the feasibility of utilizing a novel three dimensional culture device, termed Cellfoam to support the in vitro production of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets from primitive CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). The high demand for blood and blood components in the civilian and military populations, coupled with the growing risk of blood-bor ...

In this proposal, Quadrant Engineering seeks SBIR funds to investigate development of an antenna element location measurement system suitable for compensating platform motions in airborne millimeter-wave antenna arrays. During Phase 1 we plan to evaluate three different approaches termed direct, active, and passive. In the direct approach, motion sensors attached to the antenna will be used to d ...
