The key innovation proposed in this Phase II effort is a set of tools and framework that enforces a new powerful approach to developing agent-based scheduling engines by designing the basic components, identifying agents, and designing interaction protocols and behavior to meet the system requirement. We propose to extend Generic Scheduling Engine Builder (GenSEB) tool developed in the Phase I eff ...

The objective for this Phase II SBIR is the construction of a Vulnerability Analysis Toolkit with the principle goal of expediting the development of inputs required to support vulnerability simulations. It's foundation includes a generic, open, and cross-platform XML-based database specification. The software will implement two unique and specific techniques for increasing the speed at which an ...

Future precision guided mutions require increased targeting accuracy at a very low cost. In the Phase II program, Mustang Technology Group will show the technical feasibility of an innovative approach to fuse GPS/INS data with available data from advanced RF fuze proximity sensors, both of which are low cost sensors. The resulting proximity sensor aided guidance (PSAG) can improve the overall pe ...

Data Fusion has emerged as a critical technology to be developed and deployed for military projects encompassing Space Situational Awareness, and Offensive/Defensive Counterspace to increase the warfighter's ability to identify, characterize, geo-locate and assess attacks. Fusion has also been identified as a major risk to be mitigated for the NASA/Air Force Joint Space Launch Initiative (SLI) Re ...

There is a currently a growing need from the Air Force to replace multiple large scale vehicles with hybrids that can significantly reduce their logistical footprint. A combined MB-4 aircraft tow tractor/-86 GENSET hybrid vehicle is therefore greatly desired to reduce logistics in air base operations. Furthermore, there is a major concern regarding vehicle operation on military bases, namely, fu ...

One of the critical capabilities to enhance the availability and performance of C4I systems for Homeland Defense and other major Air Force initiatives (e.g., JWID, DMFE, TAS, DICE, Broadsword, JBI, SSW and BP) is indexing and retrieval of large multi-source information. Most current indexing and retrieval techniques in these systems are based on limited sets of keywords and simple lookup tables. A ...

KBSI proposes to develop an Intelligent Asset Tracking and Management System (IATMS) that will continuously locate, track, and manage assets across a large facility. Lack of adequate asset tracking and management is a significant problem in any MRO organization, where errors in identifying accurate information about an asset or its location can lead to a shutdown situation, potentially causing tr ...

Virtually all DoD and commercial organizations have come to rely upon Microsoft (MS) Office applications for documenting and exchanging a wide range of information in text documents, briefings, spreadsheets, and multimedia documents. While the value of these applications is indisputable, not everyone is aware of their ability to carry far more information than meets the eye. Such information fal ...

`How can one fabricate a sensor that can make different types of measurements on a large area, on a shape that is not known a priori, that is lightweight, that is accurate with a fine resolution, while at the same time has the resolution and sensitivity of a standalone instrument, and at an affordable cost?' This proposal will develop a process and a tool to answer this commonly asked question ...

This project is to build and test several passive optical sensors needed for AFRL Fly-by-Light systems based on carbon nanotube technology that has been developed in the Phase I efforts. The sensors will be developed to meet the important AFRL Fly-by-Light requirements of insensitivity to light amplitude, high degree of EMI/RFI immunity, exceptional small size, measurement sensitivity, response t ...
