There are two main objectives of the follow-on Phase II for Small Business Innovation Research Topic N08-199.First is to deliver a portable Splash Impact Measurement System (SIMS) with capablility of mapping the debris field surrounding an engagement event in broad ocean areas.This mapping will provide the precise location and time of all objects impacting the sea surface.The second objective is t ...

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) is pleased to propose the further design and development of “MySidewalk,” a mobile application facilitating the crowd-sourced collection of sidewalk inventory and condition data. MySidewalk utilizes advances in social networks, mobile data collection, and data mining to provide integrated sidewalk datasets. Phase I demonstrated the feasibility of the conce ...

Military medical personnel require point of care medical diagnostics capable of real time lab quality results to improve the far forward care of wounded warfighters.Diagnostics currently employed rely on antibody-affinity chromatography and other related technologies which have the net result of imposing special storage conditions on the device or its components, conditions such as refrigeration.T ...

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) proposes to conduct research and development leading to an Intuitive User Interface Technology Evaluation for performance (INTUITION) method and supporting toolkit.The proposed method and toolkit will enable planners and stakeholdersthe ability to configure highly efficient human-machine user interfaces for various phases of engagement, including long-term and ...

Technological advances have facilitated weapons systems capable of simultaneously supporting multiple missions leading to cost efficiencies and greater operational flexibility.Future systems capable of deploying multiple payloads from a single missile will enable various targets to be attacked with a single launch allowing more efficient use of limited and valuable resources.For such a system to w ...

ENGIN-IC, Inc. proposes to develop a highly efficient, linear K-Band solid state power amplifier (SSPA) to support missile defense communications.The proposed SSPA will be developed with a modular approach that can be scaled to support output power requirements for multiple applications.The heart of the modules is an integrated Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit(MMIC) that utilizes a GaN proc ...

"Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) proposes to research and demonstrate an adaptive, open-architecture, plug-and-play framework for missile defense battle planning and training.The resulting innovative solution, called the Framework for Enabling Adaptive planning and Training (FEAT) will enable the following capabilities: (i) missile-defense battle planning at multiple levels of fidelity; (ii) ...

The proposed innovation is to investigate application of mREST (http://www.mrest.org) technologies to Missile Defense Agency simulations through the Objective Simulation Framework (OSF).This will result in a robust and scalable suite of enterprise-level applications known as the System Integration Toolbox Environment (SITE).SITE leverages a well established architecture to provide out-of-band conn ...

IMUs in flight systems (interceptors, airborne platforms, and space assets) are constrained by limits on size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C), and are also exposed to severe shock and vibration during storage, transport, launch, staging, deployment and engagement. This combination of requirements has proven difficult to meet using current inertial sensor technology.Inertial sensors and IMUs based ...
