Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to facilitate NESO in supporting the needs of the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy nuclear communities. Mainstream Engineering has carefully reviewed the technical data package for NSN 4810-01-269-4808 provided in the solicitation and is confident that we possess the manufacturing capability, quality manage ...

The Defense Logistics Agency aims to improve product availability and increase competition on a multitude of NSN items for the Nuclear Enterprise Support Office by introducing capable, small business suppliers through the Source Approval Request (SAR) process. Addition of approved sources for these critical/weapon system items can lead to reduced cost and decreased lead times. Expediting the procu ...

High-purity germanium (Ge) is manufactured into infrared (IR) lenses for most DoD night sight IR optics, thermal imaging systems, and IR tracking systems in combat vehicles. A recent report by Umicore (ADA’s partner for this proposed project) identifies several current and future needs for Ge, showing growing needs in the middle of severe shortfall. These applications are essential for tracking ...

Leveraging a shared blockchain platform, the LEDGEr-based Network for Document Distribution (LEDGENDD) solution promotes effective document publication and sharing within the Defense Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) community. In addition to high availability and confidentiality, LEDGENDD enables easy document authentication and integrity verification, traceable document delivery ...

Recent advances in LiDAR, detector, and airborne systems technology have opened the door to small, high-performance, and significantly lower-cost alternatives over currently deployed airborne LiDAR imaging systems. CSLabs’ proposed initiative leverages modeling and simulation (M&S) to evaluate the efficacy of new approaches with the potential to disrupt the existing LiDAR imaging paradigm. Where ...

Traditional active 3D imaging systems, such as airborne and terrestrial lidar scanners, use a transmitter and receiver typically co-located on the same platform and connected in synchronous communications. However, recent advances in laser, detector, and airborne systems technology have opened the door to smaller, higher-performance and significantly lower-cost airborne lidar systems in which it i ...

Newer techniques in data collection such as Lidar and photogrammetry can provide large quantities of accurate and up-to-date source data models in operational areas, but transforming this often massive amount of raw source data into a lightweight 3D representation that can be quickly consumed by defense customers using a web browser or mobile devices remains a challenging problem. While point clou ...

The Video National Imagery Interpretability Rating Scale (VNIIRS) defines different levels of interpretability based on the types of tasks an analyst can perform with videos of a given VNIIRS rating. DoD users of motion imagery rely on NGA to rate the interpretability of motion image clips and understand the factors affecting the VNIIRS of operational imagery. To develop and validate and verify an ...

Intelligent Automation Inc. (IAI), along with our collaborators propose to develop a video tagging and statistics toolkit called VAST-CQA (Video Annotation and Statistics Toolkit for Crowdsourcing Quality Assessment). The key idea of the proposed approach is to provide a video quality annotation toolkit which reduces the effects of bias, subjective assessment and other human factors using a set of ...
