Future Army and DoD systems will rely on greater functional integration and autonomy that create interactions among applications and resources that have mixed criticalities. WWTGs innovations in this project will benefit the Army (and other DoD branches) by providing: 1) A tool-assisted design strategies for composing mixed critical system architectures based on Aspect Containment Regions (ACRs) m ...

Enig Associates, Inc., a small business providing advanced modeling and simulation capabilities to the DoD and DoE, is proposing an innovative and novel electrical approach, using explosive-driven flux compression generators (FCG) to convert explosive chemical energy to electromagnetic energy with very high current output and superb energy conversion efficiency and then enhance explosive load to u ...

For air drop operations, tracking of performance and usage data is necessary for routine maintenance as well as incident investigations. Currently, this data tracking is handled by manually recording usage information in logbooks. Automating this process, will results in more efficient, comprehensive, less error-prone, less labor intensive system. Intelligent Automation, Inc., along with Parks Col ...

Trauma and burn injuries are leading causes of military casualties and need more effective treatments. They are frequently associated with a severe systemic inflammatory response syndrome, triggered by tissue damage, cytokine and inflammatory mediator release, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and others, as well as complications such as hemorrhage and rhabdomyolysis that can cause multiple organ dysfu ...

NIST and G2 have been on the forefront of security automation with the development of the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP). However, the barrier to entry for SCAP content creation is the requirement to have in depth knowledge of the underlying specifications. This project aims to allow security experts to create SCAP content without the need to be an expert in the specification. By leve ...

In responding to the Army SBIR solicitation A10-045, Aria Microwave Systems, Inc. (AMS) has proposed to develop a high power, lightweight, compact, scalable SSD based DEW system with 60%-90% RF to DC efficiency. The proposed scheme utilizes the AMS proprietary active cavity amplifier (ACA) technology in conjunction with a phased antenna array. Each of the array elements is to be driven by one inde ...

A continuing and growing threat to US military personnel and civilians is exposure to toxic chemicals and pathogens. Useful detection systems exist, but it remains imperative to investigate new technologies that have the potential to significantly improve the cost, sensitivity, and size of sensor devices. A promising technology that may achieve these goals is DNA-based nono-sensors. In order for t ...

The Army needs high power light sources for high speed photography. The cameras with frame rates of million frames/sec are increasingly being used for recording of fast events such as the impact of an explosion on an MRAP(Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle. Princeton Optronics proposes a solid-sate IR laser illuminator design based on the VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) tech ...

The Phase II technical objective of this project is to implement the technology conceived in Phase I into hardware prototypes that can be tested in an actual HWIL test lab environment. The developments and experience acquired in Phase I will be used to design and assemble a fully functional central switching unit, which in a WideBand Network is referred to as a network Concentrator. The goal of th ...

Tactical counter-concealment aerial sensors that are currently being developed by the U.S. Army operate at VHF, UHF and/or L-band frequencies. These radars must operate in environments in which there can be a significant amount of unintentional radio frequency interference (RFI) (i.e. communications, terrestrial broadcast, etc.), operating in close proximity to systems operating in similar radar b ...
