"The success of hit-to-kill missile defense systems depends on correct discrimination of an entire collection of tracks. A number of organizations are now building Bayesian Network (BN) system models that assume near-perfect tracking knowledge, and theseBNs use single tracks and collections of tracks to define their inputs. An additional capability in support of this effort is the modeling of im ...

The objective of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) is todetect, identify, and track targets using sensor observations, andengage the lethal objects using interceptors.To achieve the desired level of effectiveness, the system mustdistinguish between the lethal and non-lethal objects.Object identification is performed by a discrimination systemthat relies on a tracking system to associate ...

Capco proposes using materials developed in previous SBIR obscurant research efforts to prepare UVCM devices for test and evaluation. UV absorption will be optimized through particle geometry and processing parameters.

The objectives of the Phase II effort are to demonstrate the safety of the developed obscurant device for use in US Navy aircraft as an airborne expendable countermeasure, to optimize performance and to make the obscurant device fully compatible with existing Navy countermeasure dispensing systems.

EnerQuest Systems, LLC proposes to evaluate several aspects of LIDAR data processing that relate directly to digital feature extraction, classification and LIDAR filtering techniques. The development of data integration tools within an image processing andGIS environment will provide the capability to digitally extract 3-D earth surface feature information from LIDAR data. This includes: digital e ...

EnerQuest Systems, LLC's Phase II technical approach focuses on the development of a prototype system that post-processes LIDAR data within a database management, image processing, and GIS environment. The development of the EnerQuest prototype system isdue to the culmination of knowledge gained through Phase I investigations and testing, coupled to the vast experienced gained by EnerQuest during ...

Aqwest LLC proposes to develop an automated design process using using neural networks  and machine learning  algorithms, which is adapted for a high-peak-power for a blue laser system with high-repetition-rate. The neural networks-machine learning process will generate blue laser system designs meeting the Navy size, weight, performance, and reliability requirements 50 times faster compared to ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE ACCEPTANCE TEST PROCEDURE THAT DETERMINES WHETHER AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS IN NEW BUILDINGS ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY AND OPERATING IN AN ENERGY EFFICIENT MANNER. THE APPROCH IS TO MEASURE CRITICAL ENERGY, FLOW, PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE PARAMETERS AND TO COMPARE THESE RESULTS WITH EXPECTED VALUES FROM DESIGN CALCULATIONS AND ENGINEER ...

Determining the scattering properties of small boats on a rough sea surface is a problem of high importance to the Navy. Due to the conducting nature of the surrounding water, the scattering signature of the boat cannot be determined just from a geometrical model in vacuum, but requires the simulation of its environment as well. The resulting simulations require large amounts of memory and computi ...
