The current problem of handling thousands of workflows and hundreds of tasks associated with these workflows within the current ALP architecture is enormous. In this effort we propose efficient and scalable data structure and algorithms that can order the workflows and associated tasks to be processed by the Assessor. In addition, we provide the capability to correlate workflows with actual logi ...

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 ...

Important applications such as chemical sensing call for compact, broadband, high brightness lasers in the critical 3 -5 micron region of the mid-infrared spectrum. We propose to first design (Phase I) and then to produce (Phase II) a high power, broadband QCL source that can be rapidly tuned over>100 nm and is inherently rugged in its design. To accomplish this, we will integrate our patent-pendi ...

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 Mobile Reconfigurable Acoustic Network (MoRAN) and associated Scalable Nested Network Optimization Methodology (SN2OM) will enable reliable underwater acoustic communications over a scalable ocean area with latencies on the order of minutes for criti...

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.

Tactical battlespace superiority requires high-fidelity, real-time knowledge of current and forecast weather to effectively deliver aircraft firepower and support ground operations. Adverse weather can impair target acquisition, weapon sensor functionality, curtail aircraft support times and lead to loss of the platform through threats such as icing or lightning. PEMDAS proposes a Phase I discipli ...
