CRG proposes to leverage its partnerships, advanced aerospace system design capabilities, and unique manufacturing technologies to design, build and demonstrate a flying missile rail along with the high-rate production technologies required to meet DARPA’s objectives of 500 units per month, within one month. CRG will focus on high-rate manufacturing technologies currently in use within the autom ...

Nanoscale, material sensitive, imaging techniques are critical for progress in many disciplines as we learn to master science and technology at the smallest dimensions — on the nanometer to atomic-scale. However, progress in both science and technology is becoming increasingly limited by the constraints of current imaging techniques and metrologies. Fortunately, by combining coherent extreme UV ...

We present the design of a small, portable, microwave cold atomic clock that meets the frequency stability requirement of < 8X10-13 at 1 s averaging time and < 3X10-15 for an averaging time of 1 day. The entire clock is about the size of a desktop computer 18.75 ” X 14.75 ” X 8.77 ” (47.6 cm X 37.5 cm X 22.3 cm) and weighs 30.5 kg. The clock can run on both 100-240 VAC as well as +24 VDC. St ...

CRG is demonstrating actively cooled, architected C/C designs for shape stable hypersonic structures using MG Resins, a unique, high char yield material system as a replacement to typical phenolic and pitch C/C precursors. The intent is to understand the parametric design space for which C/C structures produced with MG resin facilitate active cooling of various hypersonic structural elements and f ...

Researchers are identifying new biomarkers to help monitor cognition and stress in the human body and enhance human performance. Traditional biomarkers like heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, blood glucose, electrolyte concentration, etc have bee

Collective allostatic load (CAL) is known to cause the degredation of team performance in a variety of contexts. SIFT is proposing MEDULLA (Monitoring Emergent Duress Under Long-Lasting Allostasis), a multi-method approach based on physiological, cognitive, and behavioral measures to develop and fine-tune algorithms for assessing CAL and predicting changes to CAL that can affect team performance. ...

The Video-Compression using Robust, Adaptive, Multiple Methods, and Innovative Techniques (V-CRAMMIT) project is a Second Phase II effort that continues developing, demonstrating, and fielding innovative compression solutions while expanding into the vide

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to

Problem: Currently available resuscitation fluids have been shown to induce detrimental effects on trauma outcomes. Objective: The objective of this proposal is to use the data from the successful Phase 1 studies to guide the continued development and te

TYBALT (Transcending cYber Barriers with Automated Language Tracking) primary goal is the automatic detection of adverse intentions against US forces via publicly available information (PAI). Our “Intent to Act Adversely Detector” (ITAAD) is based on empirically-driven cognitive models linked to features detectable in the structure (rather than content) of written language: Integrative Complex ...
