The proposed concept for Context-Oriented In-Line Stimulation (COILS) uses fundamental mission conditions, system design parameters and operational configurations to provide context for rendering of simulated missiles. The Phase 1 effort demonstrated novel Radar Cross Section (RCS) statistical representations and the potential for fully automated, coherent point scatterer representations, which co ...

This document presents Optical Sciences Corporation's Phase II SBIR proposal for the development and fabrication of an advanced thermally efficient infrared emitter technology which was successfully demonstrated in the Phase I effort. The innovative dynamic IR scene projector technology offers the potential for a high frame rate, flickerless, broadband, large format (4k x 4k), emitter arrays with ...

The objective of this research is to design an open, modular framework for a missile defense planner such that a training system can be embedded in it, allowing for underlying components to be rapidly inserted (e.g. mapping engines and visualization tools). The research investigates and demonstrates the feasibility and utility of building an integrated command and control (C2) planning and trainin ...

CohesionForce proposes the development of a System Integration Team Environment (SITE) to shorten system level simulation integration time.The proposed toolkit leverages an existing tool that CohesionForce is developing and releasing to the open source community. The SITE toolkit will be designed to integrate into customers simulation framework, but will also support standalone utilization.Approve ...

This proposal describes an approach to further leverage state-of-the-art advances in software architecture, as well as proven processes to design and develop efficient, maintainable, and reliable software to meet the needs of critical operations such as missile defense. EnVention will leverage its experience in developing over two million lines of command and control software for tactical defense, ...

Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) for flight systems (interceptors, airborne platforms, and space assets) are constrained by limits on size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C). These IMUs are also exposed to severe shock and vibration during storage, transport, launch, staging, deployment and engagement. This Phase II effort will continue research from the Phase I and achieve three main objectives 1 ...

IERUS Technologies proposes to develop a novel, conformal, non-uniform, ultra-wideband array. The array will mount onto next generation kill vehicles such as MOKV and provide beam steering capability across an angular range large enough to eliminate KV attitude adjustments for communications. The IERUS array will provide continuous communications for KV to KV communications and support wideband co ...

In this research effort, the GTD team will design tools for efficiently specifying, representing, and analyzing the interactions between control systems in System of Systems (SoS). Three approaches will be considered and integrated. The first two are based in the rigorous application of H_8 control theory to the SoS design problem. The third will use complexity measures to generate a metric that c ...

The Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) relies heavily on radar tracking information to make battle management decisions regarding the engagement of potential threats. Current BMDS radar tracking relies heavily on the Kalman Filter based algorithms to perform target tracking functions. To improve track accuracy over traditional Kalman Filter algorithms, IERUS will perform further development o ...

IERUS is suggesting a program to test a (fuel) liquid engine, and modify the engine parameters to vary test target signatures. Accurate representations of these signatures in terms of spectral profile and magnitude is important to full system level testing. Approved for Public Release | 17-MDA-9219 (31 May 17)
