Hardware-In-the-Loop (HWIL) system users are anticipating major Infrared (IR) scene quality improvements through a new generation of emitter arrays. The arrays feature increased spatial resolution, rapid frame rates and much broader radiant dynamic range. These enhancements represent a sea change in Infrared Scene Projector (IRSP) performance that will set the standard for years. This new capabili ...

A Battlefield Airman (BA) has one of the most challenging positions in the military. BA personnel are tasked with the dual roles of being warfighters as well as Combat Controllers, Pararescuemen, Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) members and Special Operations Weather Technicians often while behind enemy lines. These complex duties require high fidelity training. In some cases, such as Pararescuem ...

To address the challenge of long-term tracking, through extended occlusions and significant appearance changes, we propose to continue developing DC-CAT, a Deep Convolutional neural network (CNN) based Confuser-Aware high value target (HVT) Tracker.The DC-CAT system combines a state-of-the-art CNN-based adaptive HVT tracker with a CNN-based pre-trained generic target detector, in a deep-feature-ai ...

There are currently no vaccines or therapeutics available for Marburg Virus Disease (MVD). Given the specter of weaponization and the terriblemorbidity and high mortality rate of MVD, this represents a critical threat to the operational readiness of the Warfighter. While traditionalvaccines have proven to be a huge contribution to public health, they do have some limitations especially in the cont ...

For Phase II, Yotta Navigation will continue developing its compact, rugged, reliable, and cost-effective Mobile Activity Tracking System (MATS) for military simulations and field training exercises (FTX). MATS consists of wearable Human Motion Trackers (HMT) modules usable over long-duration training missions both indoors and outdoors, and either with or without GPS access. The HMT can securely c ...

The main objectives of this SBIR Phase II effort are to implement, validate, and deploy at the Air Force Test Center at the Edwards Air Force Base an innovative computational technology based on adaptive, Projection-based Reduced-Order Models (PROMs) that can be operable as: a predictive tool to estimate aeroelastic/aeroservoelastic stability and aerodynamic loads prior to testing; a real-time sys ...

To address the Air Force’s need for data storage and sharing technologies, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) has designed new Heuristic And Node Dynamic Sharing Technologies for Aerial Network Data (HANDSTAND) and implemented a proof-of-concept prototype during Phase I. HANDSTAND ensures data availability by incorporating storage redundancy, which enables replication of data on aerial netwo ...

Chemical warfare agents (CWAs), such as nerve agents and mustard agents, pose serious threats to our warfighters and civilians. Current formulations of dermal medical countermeasures to CWAs can be absorbed through the skin causing systemic toxicities to the patients. These formulations are limited by the FDA for use only in small area of intact skin. This severely restricts the usefulness of thes ...

To address the Air Forces need for a wide-angle retroreflectometer, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to continue advancing, in Phase II, the new Portable, Omnidirectional Retroreflector Testing (PORT) system. Successfully developed and proven feasible in Phase I, the PORT system utilizes an advanced optical system to enable surface testing at an arbitrary angle of incidence. The same sys ...

SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2) proposes to further develop its Direct Write Resistive Film product to meet industry and Department of Defense (DoD) defined requirements. SI2s Resistive Film product has the potential to benefit the DoD through the availability of a cost effective, low scrap, accurate and precise Resistive Film product. Further benefits include generation of a family of platform agnos ...
