Award Data

Satellite platforms play a critical role in the modern defense and intelligence infrastructure, providing timely, detailed, and readily available imagery to support U.S. national security. An ever present and fundamental requirement for this type of data is automated target detection and recognition, helping to quickly locate and correctly identify targets from vast quantities of image data. Despi ...

CMC proposes to develop an image overlay see-through display for a 4-tube night vision goggle system by integrating four of CMCs proprietary Holographic Imageguide Displays (HID) to provide a conformal full field of view (FOV) over a GPNVG.

For Phase 2, Diffraction proposes to develop a small, lightweight, low profile, battery powered multi-spectral combat ID beacon. The beacon will output enough energy in the mid wave infrared (MWIR) bands to be visible to nearly all US and allied targetin

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is actively involved in the safe transportation of energy and hazardous material that are vital to daily lives. This also includes underground natural gas storage (UNGS) maintenance and safe operation which are critical to nation's energy infrastructure. Enhancing leak detection and identifying smart ways to prevent potential well blow ...

Satellite platforms play a critical role in the modern defense and intelligence infrastructure, providing timely, detailed, and readily available imagery to support U.S. national security. A fundamental requirement for this type of data is automated target detection and recognition, helping analysts to quickly locate and correctly identify targets of interest from vast quantities of image data. De ...

Creative Microsystems will develop the Modular Vision Processing System (MVPS) for the VAS system of TALOS. CMC will incorporate the system into the bridge of the wide field of view night vision goggles, such as the GPNVG. The system will be based on the Movidius Myriad 2 visual processing unit combined with CMCs techniques to receive and send large amounts of image data over restricted interfaces ...

The current project will develop and demonstrate a prototype compact, power-efficient all-fiber lidar unit for wind profiling on board UAV's and other aircraft. The system leverages Oceanit's current fiber-laser based lidar development efforts. A unique design provides a rugged system with no moving parts and little maintenance requirements. Efforts in the current project will include prototype s ...

SOF tactical users lack a miniature threat warning receiver that permits them to monitor RF energy and exploit hostile wireless communications while on extended deployments that necessitate very low power budgets. Having this capability will save lives and enhance the probability of successful completion of dangerous missions. The purpose of this Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase II ...

Expanding constellations of earth observation satellites are drastically increasing the availability of satellite imagery to the US government, providing timely, detailed, and readily available intelligence for mission planning and situational awareness on a global scale. Under the DARPA funded SBIR Phase 2 GEOMETRIX program, VSI developed an innovative ecosystem to distill and reconcile commercia ...

ADVANCED COMPUTER-AIDED TECHNIQUES TO DETERMINE VEHICLE CLASS AND SPEED ARE REQUIRED FOR ADVANCED INTELLIGENT VEHICLE HIGHWAY SYSTEM'S APPLICAITONS. ORINCON IS PROPOSING TO DEVELOP A NOVEL SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE USING DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING (DSP) ALGORITHMS IN CONJUNCTION WITH A NEURAL NETWORK CLASSIFIER TO PROCESS DATA FROM EXISTING VEHICLE DETECTION HARDWARE. OUR DESIGN CRITERIA WILLINCLUDE COST ...
