Stauder Technologies is proposing to design and develop a next generation Field Computing Device – Wearable (FCD-W) kit solution. The kit will include a Smart Hub with the ability to create a secure wired or optional wireless connection to any End User Device (EUD). The Smart Hub will provide on board processing with advanced automatic data management and routing to ease operator burden. There w ...

The objectives of this Phase II study are to develop a complete end-to-end capability for the operational hazard assessment modeling within limnological systems for all of CONUS and to develop preliminary techniques to determine limnological water quality parameters of OCONUS systems, allowing for the eventual hazard assessment modeling in denied or restricted regions. Achieving these objectives w ...

The objective of this study is to develop methods to adequately characterize the chemical and physical environments of lakes and reservoirs for the CONUS operational implementation within SHARC. Over the course of this project we will explore the novel and innovative integration of deep machine learning, data analytics, computational fluid mechanics and in-situ/overhead empirical data. Specificall ...

High-Spatial and Hyperspectral-Resolution Imaging for Bridge Inspection 3/12/2018 Four out of 10 national bridges have been in service for 50 or more years which have undergone different levels of structural deficiency; other relatively newer bridges are constantly exposed to natural and artificial hazards and are likely structurally deficient in their life cycles. This SBIR project aims to de ...

A System and Case Studies for Consolidating and Providing Access to Vehicle Safety-Oriented Datasets 3/20/2018 In today’s world, data is power. A person using social media can take a seemingly random survey about puppy adoption, the demographic and preference data can be fed to political marketers and that person’s empathy toward puppies can help elect the next President of the United State ...

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 ...

The proposed Phase II project is to provide an advanced operational waterborne transport modeling capability of chemical agents within four-dimensional marine and fresh water environments. Based upon the findings of Phase I, we propose to further enhance the operational capabilities of ASA’s Waterborne Chemical Transport Model, relative to weaponized chemical agents, by developing comprehensive ...

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency has expressed the need for waterborne transport and dispersion capability to compliment its existing models for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) releases. DTRA's current capability is limited to the atmospheric transport of CBRN agents using the HPAC system. The objective of this proposed Phase I study is to couple Applied Science Associat ...

The United States Special Operations Command’s Special Boat Teams are routinely exposed to an environment prone to injury and the long-term effects of repetitive impact stress. The primary cause for injury and long-term degenerative musculoskeletal effects is the repetitive impacts incurred as the MK V and NSW RIB vessels impact the ocean’s surface. The goal of SOCOM02-007 Phase II research is ...

Special Operations Forces (SOF) require a real time display of appr opriate data to allow the helmsman to access the damage potential to his cargo (equipment/personnel) and support his decision relative to speed and course selection when operating in rough water. Furthermore, maintenance support personnel need quantitative data to support design decisions and maintenance activities. This proposa ...
