IERUS is developing a novel phased array ground terminal aperture architecture for the DoD's next generation of satellite constellations. With the proliferation of high-bandwidth satellites across LEO, MEO, and GEO, there is a need for SWaP-C optimized user terminal apertures. The IERUS solution implements scalable and mission-set reconfigurable technologies to enable rapid transition into operati ...

Augmentation Systems (VAS) Range Finder. It provides opportunities for day/night observation and range measurement in a small, easy-to-use device. We tradeoff features and SWAP-C to determine optimal combinations and document them in a feasibility study. Novel methods of presenting ranges are further. investigated and discussed.

HQ AFSOC A2 and JSOC’s JIB have a national defense-related mission need in rapid, effective decision-making to support the nation’s elite special operators. The initial Cerebras’ super-computing Phase II successfully validated the system’s ability to util

Femtosense is an innovative tech startup leading the charge to deploy sparse AI using novel techniques that are far more affordable and easier to implement than traditional AI computational technologies. Femtosense’s invention – the Sparse Processing Unit (SPU-001) is a TRL level 7 processing chip poised to disrupt the $50B AI hardware market. It offers best-in-class SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Powe ...

Toyon proposes to establish the feasibility of a novel approach to performing S2ST between a target language, such as English, and the low density spoken only language Hokkien. While we will focus of Hokkien during the research and development efforts of Phase I, our system can be tailored to any low density spoken language. Our approach leverages our recently developed Android Team Awareness Kit ...

We propose to develop a hybrid leak detection system, utilizing real-time multisensory system and a compact gas chromatograph (GC) integrated in a single unit. The key advantages of our GC technology are utilization of scrubbed ambient air as a carrier gas and utilization of novel multisensory highly integrated platform as a GC detector. The outcome of this technology, is the ability to monitor a ...

Optimizing demand for available transportation infrastructure is desirable for the Department of Transportation and Federal Transit Administration, local and regional agencies, private organizations, and individuals. Unfortunately, traditional Transportation Demand Management (TDM) efforts fail to facilitate cooperation between actors, and rely heavily on marketing and financial incentives to infl ...

Recent advances in technologies have shown great potential for widespread use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in real-time Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications. However, the massive amounts of data collected and generated from ITS sensors pose a major challenge in data processing and transmission. This requires a shift from centralized repositories and cloud computing t ...

To address the DOT’s need for a new system to detect excavation damage and notify pipeline operators, Intellisense Systems, Inc., (Intellisense) proposes a new Fiber-Optic Excavation Monitoring Sensor (FOCOS) system based on phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (-OTDR), machine learning (ML) algorithms, and Internet of Things (IoT) communication. Specifically, the innovative impl ...

For decades 81mm mortars have always been an indirect area suppression weapon. Aiming the mortar tube on the correct vector and getting the tube elevation angle and charge calculation accurate enough to strike the intended target on the 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd round is very rare. This consistently results in time, ammunitions, cost, and communication effort being wasted for both the mortar team and ...
