In this direct to Phase II effort, Hearing Components will develop and deliver twelve functional prototypes of a Canine Active Hearing Protection System. This in/ear system will protect multipurpose canines (MPCs) from damaging low/frequency noises while still providing them with situational awareness and the ability to localize sounds as well as receive communication from a handler. The system wi ...

NextGen RF Design will research the feasibility of what we call a Highly Adaptive Radio (HAR) to achieve low probability of detection (PDD) and intercept (LPI) optimized for low SWaP and is capable of SATCOM and terrestrial communications. Our study will revolve around the concept of autonomously switching a variety of over-the-air protocols to adapt to the conditions of a contested environment. W ...

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 ...

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 ...

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has identified the need for a cloud data synchronization system which will enable an expeditionary user to download mission-specific data sets from a cloud-based platform to a mobile/laptop platform and use the cached data independently when disconnected from the cloud-based platform. When connectivity to the cloud is re-stablished, the system ...

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 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 ...

Not Available Commercial satellite services provide a convenient mechanism for over-the-horizon communications among ships, aircraft, and on-shore information sources. The Coast Guard had identified the potential of maritime Web and messaging (e-mail) applications implemented over commercial satellite links to substantially increase the effectiveness of Coast Guard operations. However, there are ...
