The Special Operations Forces require the compact capability to rapidly and safely scan an enclosed space and assess the presence of drugs, explosive, or other chemicals in order to support quickly search a room for potential evidence and reduce hostile risks.Pendar is proposing to develop for the current program a handheld standoff chemical detector with a capability for 2-m standoff chemical ana ...

TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: WR’s approach involves design of a modular, S-129 compliant Under Keel Clearance - Risk Management System (UKC-RMS). This will allow for the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), ECS, PPUs, and other situational awareness applications to have S-129 Exchange Sets developed for a planned route.In WR’s design, a system such as an ECDIS generates an S40X Rout ...

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 ...

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 ...

Our nations warfighting capability is both aided and hindered by increasing volume, velocity, and variety of heterogeneous PED data. A scalable, adaptable, open architecture and automation are central themes in the proposed Phase II approach. The proposed architecture features innovative Master Repository (MR) and GeoPackage Repository (GR), with new tools and services that operate in a cloud envi ...

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 ...

Face recognition performance using deep learning has seen dramatic improvements in recent years. This improvement has been fueled in part by the curation of large labeled training datasets with millions of images of hundreds of thousands of subjects.This results in effective generalization for matching over pose, illumination, expression and age variation, however these datasets have traditionally ...

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. ...

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 ...
