This project seeks to design and manufacture a prototype WisperCAM detector and to tests its ability to covertly monitor for and detect isotopic radiation. The tasks to accomplish the WisperCAM will build on Phase I. The computer models from Phase I wil

The Air Force needs an external, self-powered, non-invasive, RFID-like status monitoring device to track the handling and environmental factors experienced by missile armaments during their lifespan. Few monitoring systems have the capability to measure environmental conditions and use that data to determine time spent in storage, on the flightline, on the aircraft, or in the air. The developed sy ...

This is a proposal for Phase II of SBIR topic A152-093. During Phase I, CoVar Applied Technologies, Inc., developed novel methods for the detection of power-lines in mmW radar data by leveraging deep learning approaches and Bayesian tracking. CoVars novel algorithms were demonstrated to outperform state of the art algorithms from the relevant research literature. These algorithms will be enhanced ...

In this SBIR program, we propose to develop a wide angle and fast optical detection system for measuring the slung load cable angle and angular rate in real time, which is necessary to stabilize the external loads in heavy-lift vertical resupply operations by fleet helicopters or unmanned helicopters. This development efforts leverage Agiltrons extensive experiences in developing the variety of im ...

The current market for fast switching frequency sythesizers is growing rapidly. Most synthesizers available today will not meet the stringent requirements for switching quickly, providing spectrally pure RF outputs and minimizing physical size and cost. As part of a current SBIR program, S.T. Research has developed a wideband, fast switching synthesizer, based on the use of broadband phase-locke ...

SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2) proposes to design and develop a low-cost, wideband, conformal antenna array that can be integrated with beamforming common modules separately developed in the DARPA ACT program. We will leverage our proprietary antenna array technology, validated on a variety of previous programs, to design an antenna array that can cover the full bandwidth for the Phase II DARPA ACT ...

The goal of the proposed program is to combine the functionality of the TR-232, TR-233 and ITC-1007 transducers into a single high performance transducer that can meet all of the Navys submarine acoustic communications requirements. All this needs to packaged into a form factor that fits within the current TR-233 footprint and include both transmit and receive response. Materials Systems Inc. (MS ...

The proposed effort is based on the availability of a low cost UUV and acoustic modem with sufficient intelligence to produce an acoustic network with the capability to adapt to changing environmental conditions for optimization of data transmission perf...

We propose developing a wide area situation awareness (WASA) application for android mobile phones.

DEMONSTRATE AN EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR FORCE-LEVEL, TOP-DOWN SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE DEVELOPMENT, REPRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTEGRATION. THE SRS TECHNOLOGIES DEVELOPED INTEGRATED ARCHITECTURE ANALYSIS (IAA) METHOD WILL BE USED IN PHASE I TO SHOW HOW A FORCE-LEVEL SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE CAN BE DEVELOPED FROM EXISTING WARFARE MISSION AREA ARCHITECTURE WORK. ELEMENTS OF ANTI-SUBMARINE WARFARE (ASW) AND ANT ...
