Aurora Flight Sciences and Protonex Technology Corporation propose a research effort into a Combined Airframe and Power system for Extended Range (or"CAPER") power system for air-launched Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS). The CAPER system is unique in that a fuel cell system and a SUAS will be designed together as a system, allowing design optimization to occur across the entire system. Th ...

The objective of this Phase I SBIR program is to develop and qualify next generation antiballistic airless tires that provide high speed off-road performance for Special Operations vehicles. The proposed tire technology will provide non-pneumatic antiballistic tires with terrain durability and ballistic resilience through the integration of NanoSonic"s HybridSil armor technology. This pioneerin ...

NanoSonic has developed novel nanomaterials to enable a dynamic thermal protection dive suit that can adapt to variable environments and United States Special Operations Forces diver activity levels. During Phase II of this program, NanoSonic shall integrate our responsive nanomaterials into prototype dive suits, provide metrics of system improvements over current off-the-shelf garments, and veri ...

Ample evidence exists that US military operational information is released via social media and internet sources; possibly compromising operational security (OPSEC). IST Research designed, in Phase I, Managing Operations Security Tool (MOST) to detect and characterize these OPSEC threats in online data and propose mitigation techniques. MOST supports identity management and force protection profes ...

The balance between the advantages and liabilities of sharing personal and organizational digital information continues to be tested. While modern information technologies have provided tremendous boosts to personal, corporate and public-sector capability growth, they also expose a vulnerability that can cripple organizations and put personal livelihoods at great risk. For U.S. Government person ...

Purpose: In previous research and development, the team created LiveSchool, a technology for teachers to report student behavior in their class. In this project, the team will fully develop and test ClassCoach, a dashboard for administrators to track student behavior and to recommend resources teachers can use to address student behavioral needs in their classes. Over the past several years, schoo ...

An innovative solution that improves procurement process for rapid software development that is enabled by an innovative software technology consisting of either vendor hosted SaaS solutions, the government hosted COTS or custom solution in the AWS cloud, or a combination of both. The technology supports reverse auction, crowdsourcing and/or other procurement methods. The end product will be deplo ...

RAISERapid Acquisition of Innovative Software Solutions with External Expertsenvisions a combination of software and services that enables SOCOM and the Federal community in general, to rapidly, securely procure global talent with competitive reverse auctions and other FAR compliant approaches. The proposed Phase I feasibility study will analyze the IT Governance processes required within SOCOM to ...

Through previous grant awards from IES, researchers developed Graspable Math, a tablet-based intervention where middle and high school students create and manipulate complex expressions for basic operations as well as equations and equations systems and inequalities. In this project, the team will develop a prototype of Graspable Math Activities, an app with novel kinds of algebra practice and ass ...

Our nations warfighting capability is both aided and hindered by increasing volume, velocity, and variety of heterogeneous PED data. A scalable, adaptable, open architecture and automation are central themes in the proposed Phase II approach. The proposed architecture features innovative Master Repository (MR) and GeoPackage Repository (GR), with new tools and services that operate in a cloud envi ...
