Design of an ultra low power satellite transceiver is needed, which is technically innovative in three areas. First, interoperability with non-geostationary satellite systems as well as conventional geostationary systems is proposed, allowing global coverage, very small antenna, large field of view, and near 100% availability even for poorly sited terminals. Second, digital signal processing tec ...

Technology Solutions Experts, Inc. (TSE) is proposing to develop the Property Reuse and Disposition Tool, a mobile app that will significantly expedite and facilitate the way in which the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) catalogs excess property for its reuse.The DLA's current process of cataloging excess property is cumbersome and tedious--with the advent and proliferation of mobile technologies, t ...

The DSOM system realized in a Phase II effort will provide a modular, compact and reconfigurable system with the ability to provide unique and new information about the scene of interest (e.g. temporal and height information) when compared with traditional SAR sensors. When compared with other imaging technologies, DSOM has the important advantages of being operable through cloud cover and at nigh ...

Special Operations Forces needs a repository containing three dimensional (3D) geospatial and structural information that can be visualized when developing plans and executing operations. Limited success integrating CAD and GIS information over the last 20 years illustrates the difficulty of this task. The proposed study determines feasibility of a 3D BIM, CAD, and GIS repository by personnel with ...

The diver navigation system (DIVENAV) accurately locates the position of scuba divers with respect to a dive boat. A display on the dive boat indicates magnetic bearing, distance, and depth for up to ten divers. In addition, the system will provide information to the diver to assist in his navigation. A digital readout on the diver's transponder is controlled by the divemaster on the dive boat. ...

Warehouse injuries and accidents are occurring much too frequently and resulting in devastating consequences and implications for the involved facility. Although the recent emergence of low-cost and unobtrusive sensor technologies have flooded nearly every market to improve health and safety, the warehousing and manufacturing markets have remained largely unpenetrated. Aptima plans to fill this ga ...

Department of Defense (DOD) and Intelligence Community (IC) information systems increasingly rely on access to enterprise hosted cloud infrastructures, such as the Intelligence Community Information Technology Enterprise (ICITE), for data exploitation. However, many DOD operators are required to operate in austere situations, where disconnected, limited or intermittent (DIL) communications impose ...

NanoSonic has developed novel nanomaterials to enable a dynamic thermal protection dive suit that can adapt to variable environments and United States Special Operations Forces diver activity levels. During Phase II of this program, NanoSonic shall integrate our responsive nanomaterials into prototype dive suits, provide metrics of system improvements over current off-the-shelf garments, and veri ...

IS Robotics (ISR) will develop rovers to serve as tools for Special Forces Operators in reconnaissance applications. These outdoor terrain rovers will be small, highly mobile, and support autonomous behaviors. The rovers will act as mobile sensor platforms that will be used to obtain critical data in denied areas. Leveraging on technology already developed at IS Robotics in small, mobile vehicl ...

CAMX Power is proposing field demonstration of a new, ultra-high sensitivity cell screening technology that would reduce a 14-28 day cell monitoring operation in present lithium-ion manufacturing practice to about ten minutes, with cost savings, safety and logistics benefits. EaglePicher and Inventus Power, key suppliers of batteries to the US Military, have each agreed to serve as our collaborat ...
