For forward/deployed SOF in today’s tactical environment, operating a drone to achieve ISR objectives, including platform and sensor control, means at best experiencing major cognitive overload and at worst being out of the fight. In recognition of this problem, SOCOM224/D005 (Artificial Intelligence/Drive Voice Control at the Edge (“ADViCE”)) seeks to “develop applied research toward an i ...

Skeyeon, Inc. has developed all technologies necessary to orbit an Earth Observation, EO, satellite at 250 km, developing a vehicle design; atomic oxygen resistant, low drag materials; high bandwidth, real-time RF links; electric propulsion for 3 year missions; and a 1 meter resolution optical telescope compressed into a 10 cm high framework. A constellation of 100’s-1,000’s of these vehicles ...

Transportation Tech is the development and implementation of an online, on‐demand educational curricula for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Connected Vehicle (CV) technology. Transportation Tech content is designed and developed to encourage students to choose careers in ITS as well as train current ITS and CV technicians in the field. Through customized portals, at the end of the P ...

The objective of this proposal is to design a detailed curricula framework for an ITS and Connected Vehicle industry-recognized credential program. Titled Transportation Tech, the framework will serve as a basis for developing 3 levels of online credential training in each industry. The education and professional development of technicians in the ITS field is pivotal to the future of our nation’ ...

The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing a “Customer Based Mobility” application, named Liberty, for enhancing transportation options for vulnerable populations and senior citizens in rural and small urban communities. Utilization of technology for route optimization and customer trip booking in rural and small urban transportation agencies is currently ve ...

Applied Physical Sciences Corp. (APS) in collaboration with Ocean Technology Systems (OTS) will develop a diver physiological monitoring (DPM) system with integrated microdisplay that easily retrofits with existing full face masks (FFM) and that leverages commercial-off-the-shelf biometric sensors. The capability to quantitatively evaluate and assess a remote diver"s status will significantly imp ...

The scope of this research initiative addresses what is best practice for delivering mobile applications while ensuring a safe, consistent experience given the differing communications standards, operating systems and hardware limitations of existing and prospective personal communications devices.  It is assumed the scope of this initiative is limited to exploration of applications for consumer devices only, not on-board OEM equipment/applications that may use a passenger's personal communications device to provide network connectivity.  However, the ability of a personal device

The development of an automated ride control system for high speed combatant craft is critical to reducing the motions that cause injury to crew and damage to craft and equipment. Ancillary benefits include reduced fuel consumption for improved range of operation and the reduction of wake signature. The objective of this research project is to continue the successful development of ride control ...

Most commercial motor controllers (MC’s) operate at relatively low switching frequency that produces a detectable acoustic signature and therefore drives the Navy to procure MC’s operating at higher frequencies in order to reduce acoustic signature. These custom MC’s, however, still generate significant noise, are not sufficiently reliable, and have obsolete components. APS will develop an i ...

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 ...
