Development of a desktop 3D visualization and editing software environment specifically focused on interoperability between Modeling and Simulation (M&S) and Operational (Mission Command/C2I/etc.) domains will be developed to support several consensus and community geospatial standards. The developed software will provide a capability to simultaneously visualize 3D content despite differences in e ...

Cognitics, Inc. and CAE USA propose a solution that integrates crowdsourced and publicly available street-level imagery into a 3D baseline of Human Geography content. The approach leverages existing NGA and SOCOM software architectures developed by CAE, Cognitics, and Lockheed Martin to avoid duplication of software development effort for processing and dissemination of geospatial content, while a ...

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 ...

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.

As stated in the solicitation, the pavement infrastructure in the US covers a large surface area and requires intensive energy and natural resources. Vehicles that travel over these pavements are also resource intensive. Solar Roadways Incorporated envisions replacing current asphalt surfaces with modular Solar Road Panels: structurally-engineered solar panels that can be driven upon. The roadwa ...

As stated in the solicitation, the pavement infrastructure in the US covers a large surface area and requires intensive energy and natural resources. In addition, the surface of the pavement is typically impermeable, causing negative consequences. Vehicles that travel over these pavements are also resource intensive. Solar Roadways Incorporated envisions replacing current asphalt surfaces with m ...

QuantaSpec, Inc., proposes to produce a highly efficient, compact, personnel-worn combat ID beacon visible to a large variety of overhead imaging pods. Multiple incidents of fratricide have highlighted the need for improved combat ID and Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) technology. Recent advances in emitter technology have enabled a new class of signaling device to become practical. QuantaSpec, Inc., ...

Diffraction LTD will develop a multi-spectral battery powered combat ID beacon. Key emitter technologies will include vacuum encapsulated photonic crystals in the MWIR and LWIR spectral bands. In Phase 1, a complete optical, electrical, and mechanical design of the beacon will be produced. A model taking into account emitter characteristics, atmospheric transmission, ambient lighting, and vario ...

Solar Roadways Incorporated envisions replacing current asphalt surfaces with modular Solar Road Panels: structurally-engineered solar panels that can be driven upon. The roadway will generate electricity, become our nation's power grid, make all-electric vehicles practical, and transport rainwater to desired locations. Collecting solar energy for just four hours/day would produce three times m ...

Positioning and navigation have become a mainstay of everyday life in the U.S.; applications of interest include navigation of vehicles of all kinds, infrastructure mapping, and safety of life systems. Many of these recent applications have become possible through the GPS. With the recognized vulnerabilities of GPS, it is evident that equivalent backup systems must be developed. One possible so ...
