3 Sigma Research proposes an innovative approach to develop a open architecture based data model and process for adding self-identifying information to a datagram. The power of our potential solution is in applying results from our research of Packaged Ontology Certificates to the unique performance issues with real-time processing of datagrams. Combining this with a revolutionary way of viewing ...

The proposal would provide the design and basic product development work to augment the power generation efficiency of fuel cells developed by Acumentrics Corp. by converting waste heat into electricity by highly efficient thermoelectric (TE) power generation. Three paths will be explored in Phase I to add a TE generator to the SOFC. The first will explore the use of a material that is used in co ...

PALS for Sniper Detection (PALS-SD) is a straightforward near-term evolution of A2-T2’s existing PALS 3D for enhanced long-range facial identification technologies. Essentially, our existing multi-modal Electro-Optical/IR/Laser-Sight/Designator/Range-Finder configurations will be upgraded to include an eye-safe pulsed laser and sensor that discriminately detects reflections from eyes and optics. ...

Our proposed receiver design will satisfy or exceed the requirements set forth in this solicitation. The key innovation is our melding of approaches – to produce a compact lightweight receiver with onboard processing that leverages picosecond timing resolution and burst acquisition methodology previously implemented by our team. The receiver architecture will utilize electronic gating, automat ...

Advanced Technologies Group, Inc. (ATG) proposes to develop an innovative High Powered Ram-Air-Turbine (HiRAT) capable of producing over 60kw of power at an air speed of 250 knots. During Phase I ATG will design, analyze and test a scaled turbine to determine feasibility. Preliminary analysis indicates that the ATG HiRAT is far superior to existing conventional turbine designs on several levels.

Accurate forecasts of infrared satellite imagery are needed to optimize tasking of valuable and limited space borne surveillance assets. Atmospheric constituents such as clouds, aerosols, and water vapor can negatively impact the ability of IR surveillance systems to monitor activities on the ground. Due to their chaotic nature, atmospheric impacts are particularly severe for applications that r ...

Mobile Software Defined Radios (SDRs) of the future will require wideband capability, complete radio reprogramability, and the ability to function in the mobile, low power environment. To meet these sometimes conflicting requirements innovative components will need to be integrated into innovative architectures. Systems offering these capabilities today are large form factors that typically do n ...

In this program, Agiltron and the group of Professor D. W. Wang at Boston College propose a novel nano-porous coating for next generation MDA IR anti-reflection (AR) coatings for detectors and optics. The collaborative research leverages recent progress in nano-material development at Boston College, and Agiltron’s recently developed nano-coating processes. The proposed IR AR coatings will posse ...

An innovative concept for a scalable true time delay (TTD) array for digital beamforming is proposed. The concept is photonics and fiber optic wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) based and will support transmit/receive applications over the 1 to 20 GHz, extendable up to V bands. The design provides a digitally controlled true time delay array for beamforming effectively adaptive to Navy phased ...

Based on Agiltron’s extensive experience of design and fabrication of UV LED cure systems that are currently employed in the fiber optics field, we propose to construct a new cost-effective UV LED-based cure system and epoxy resin for the rapid cure epoxy impregnated fiberglass for galvanic barrier ply applications. Our novel optical design enables this UV cure system to deliver sufficient and ...
