Kyma Technologies, a leading supplier of low defect density GaN substrates, is teamed together with the three subcontractors at Princeton University, Lehigh University and Purdue University where some of the best lattice-matched quaternary (In,Ga,Al)N or ternary structures in the world have been produced, to propose the development of the world¡¦s first high-performance III-N quantum cascade las ...

For soldiers communication applications that require long life, light weight and very low self-discharge, Li/(CFx)n lithium primary chemistry is considered to be a superior choice. The high cost of current carbon monofluoride materials, however, will add significantly to the total cost of the battery. Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop a low cost process to produce CFx materials wi ...

Scene understanding is incredibly difficult, as it requires the recreation of a 3D environment from noisy 2D image data. Greedy approaches to estimating scene attributes are computationally expensive and are not sufficient for solving many real-world problems (e.g., detecting a suspect moving through a scene). Further complicating matters, is that different levels of detail/description are require ...

The army requires substantial improvements in battery energy density compared to current lithium-ion and lead acid batteries. The lightweight lithium-air battery has the potential to meet these needs, provided certain material characteristics can be improved, including extended lithium rechargeability, electrolyte stability, decreased air cathode polarization and stable performance at elevated ce ...

BMB Discount Guns, Ammunition, and Supplies proposes to develop a novel form of dim tracer ammunition. This ammunition is a non-burning, chemically inert, constant mass tracer. This design of this dim tracer is such that it cannot be perceived by enemy forces, even with enhanced optics. This ammunition can be manufactured with masses substantially identical to ball ammunition. By matching the ...

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

In this Phase II effort, American Science & Engineering, Inc. (AS&E) will design, fabricate, test and deliver a mobile X-ray Backscatter one-sided imaging system suitable for examining general aviation aircraft for the presence of weapons, contraband or other proscribed items. The system employs a high resolution X-ray Backscatter imaging module mounted on an omni-directional host platform, provid ...

The Army is looking to research and develop a programmable multichannel radio frequency filter-equalizer having a programmable number of channels, each programmable with potentially unequal spacing, bandwidth, and equalization. What is needed is a digitally programmable multichannel filter-equalizer that can perform complex filtering function tailored to multiple applications. The challenging requ ...

Corvid Technologies is pleased to offer this SBIR Phase II proposal. In the proposed effort, we will extend the high-fidelity analysis processes demonstrated during Phase I to generate large-scale, production-quality databases for intercept debris fragments. Our approach utilizes an innovative combination of high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics for a broad range of flow conditions, high-pe ...

US soldiers increasingly have the need to operate in GPS-denied environments or in environments without access to GPS, such as caves and indoor buildings. To date, inertial integration and pedometry have been used for position estimation in such environments. The inertial integration process suffers from excessive velocity drift over time and leads to errors in position estimation. Pedometry avoi ...
