The US Army and other DOD forces occasionally need to breach reinforced concrete structures. There are several existing methods to assess the structural properties and predict reinforcement but each of these methods has specific deficiencies (e.g. to loud, too large, too inconsistent). Ground penetrating radar is a promising technology for non-destructive concrete substructure characterization but ...

State-of-the-art power electronics use discrete components such as power magnetic inductors and transformers operating at < 1MHz, which suffer from a large SWAP-C (size, weight, power consumption, and cost). It has been challenging to achieve simultaneously high inductance, compact size, and high quality factors at 1~300MHz for integrated power electronics. In the completed Phase II Army STTR Phas ...

Fast and accurate object detection in the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) is critical for many DoD platforms including missile systems. Current object detection algorithms generally employ computationally heavy frontends to perform edge filtering tasks for keypoint identification and blob detection. Offloading the edge filtering tasks to optical components, which perform image differentiation or edge det ...

High fidelity scene generators utilize radar target models over the entire flight profile of a weapon system or sensor under test.  As such, radar signatures generated from these models must encompass the entire simulation flight path to include a continuum of engagement conditions ranging from the far-field to very near-field.  Signature Solutions, Inc. proposes effort to demonstrate dynamic ne ...
