The purpose of this SBIR is to develop a carbon nanotube metal matrix composite that can used in the manufacturing of small caliber sabots for use with long rod penetrators. In phase one, Additive Manufacturing has been used to make carbon nanotube aluminum metal matrix composites that met threshold requirements and have achieved 95.8% of the objective modulus and 97.5% of the objective strength o ...

Small infrared (IR) camera packages are now possible as a result of uncooled sensor performance improvements (sensitivity and time constant) in small pixel pitch (12 µm). Leveraging prior investment in miniaturized uncooled infrared camera cores, and digital readout circuit and electronics design, there is an opportunity to demonstrate a digital output nano-IR camera core with direct application ...

The Department of Defense depends on multiple systems to establish and update position information of our forces on the battlefield. However, the current interfacing capability for position location information (PLI) systems is limited to a select few service providers. By adding flexibility to the RF media interface for these systems, new levels of connectedness and reliability can be achieved, p ...

Under SBIR Phases for “Battlefield Medical Situational Awareness Goggles (Human Computer Interface)”, TAM developed a robust speech enabled TRL-6 system, allowing medics to capture casualty information for TCCC and DD1380 cards. Under this Sequential Phase II, TAM will extend the work completed on earlier phases in the following areas: 1. Advance capabilities of TAM’s application, to reach T ...

ArchieMD will develop an augmented reality (AR) telemedicine training system for integration into the training and assessment of military medical procedures.The system will enable physician instructors to: 1) project expertise to the point of injury, pr

The objective of this proposal is to enable operationally relevant same-frequency simultaneous transmit and receive (SF-STAR) communications systems, through enhanced jammer and self-interference suppression in the RF domain. Best-in-class isolation (>80dB), bandwidth (>500 MHz), and nearby jammer suppression (20dB) have already been demonstrated by the proposing team. This game-changing capabilit ...

We propose an innovative concept to develop a novel, next generation, readout integrated circuit (ROIC) architecture to be used for Infrared (IR) High Dynamic Range (HDR) applications. The HDR ROIC will provide a reconfigurable readout architecture using a column adjustable per-pixel gain selection to allow on-the-fly wide dynamic range capability with column-parallel analog to digital converters ...

Our Intelligent Cyber Adversaries Tool Suite (ICATS) system-of-systems builds upon existing work integrating cyber effects into Live, Virtual, Constructive, and Gaming (LVC&G) training systems and leverages other existing systems in the cyber domain. We leverage several in-work technologies to bring together complementary tools and achieve rapid progress. We research use of an existing framework t ...

There is no one display device that is ideally suited for visualizing non-spatial, 1D, 2D, 3D, and 4D data. For this reason, a visualization ecosystem that unifies many components from the fields of scientific visualization, infovis, data analytics, big data, and display technologies is needed. This new tool will enable interactive scientific visualization across many different 2D, 2.5D and 3D dis ...

We propose the development of an improved fabrication process for the mid-wave and long-wave infrared (MWIR, LWIR) focal plane arrays (FPA) based on nBn, InAs/InAsSb, Type II Superlattice (T2SL) structures. The Phase I effort will demonstrate an etch process to achieve a trench with large depth (at least 10 µm), high aspect ratio (trench widths below 4 µm), and V-shaped sidewalls. This etch proc ...
