This proposal responds to the need for a more capable velocity sensor for Naval Special Warfare undersea vehicles that will enable 3D bottom and water column tracking. Currently the Advanced Seal Deployment System utilizes a Doppler Sonar capable of operations at altitudes of up to approximately 300 meters over the sea bed for bottom track mode. There is also a stated need to decrease weight, volu ...

ObjectVideo proposes a video system to identify faces on non-cooperative subjects at a far distance. The system will be deployed hidden in hostile terrain to monitor people who travel through the camera's view, and it will report back to a central station only if it sees a known fugitive. The output will be a video clip of the person who just crossed the camera's field of view, and a database fa ...

For unmanned air vehicules to become cost effective and have reliable performance they will require avionic sensor systems such as obstacle avoidance and wind sensing that are low cost and weight just a few pounds. Doppler Laser Radar has indeed proven to be a useful tool to measure wind fields near airports. The main obstacle in putting such systems in airplanes and in particular UAVs is their ...

The GECO Payload Interface Master Module Phase I development approach capitalizes on both our telecom and defense electronic design experiences to provide SOCOM with an optimal PIMM design. GECO's research trade studies will allow us to deliver the best performance that commercial technologies can support and our design engineering experience will insure the optimal solution is fielded in a packa ...

Optical Air Data Systems is proposing to develop an all fiber optic laser wind sensor which can be used to profile the winds to improve the accuracy of the Leaflet Delivery Systems (LDS). The sensor will reduce errors associated with wind drifts which cause reduction in drop accuracy. The all fiber optic system will be light weight and low cost and greatly enhance the performance of the airdrop ...

Special Operations Forces deployed to remote areas have a need for technically innovative UAV ISR data delivered in real-time via common secure data communication architectures. Despite recent technological advances, delivering still imagery, video and other sensor data down to the SOF team level over a single medium in near real-time is still not possible. Trident Systems proposes to build a sm ...

Molecular oxygen is the most critical participant in respiratory pr ocess. Adequate oxygen supply is essential for the survivals of all living species. Fast, reliable and real-time measurement of oxygen concentration (partial pressure) is of great importance in assessing the health status of a person/soldier and the timely caring of critically ill patients. Presently available oxygen sensors suf ...

The contractor has patented technology for a unique process that directly converts a two-dimensional acoustic disturbance, such as a wave front, into an intensity-mapped visible image in real-time without electronic circuitry; that is, it is a direct pressure gradient imager. The imager relies on the piezo-dichroic properties of a continuous layer of a dichroic material thin film that serves as bo ...

Naval Special Warfare is developing and testing equipment and tactics for neutralization of anti-invasion mines in the very shallow water maritime environment. The device proposed herein, an electromagnetic pulse mine countermeasure device, will enhance the capability of Naval Special Warfare to neutralize mines. The proposed device is expected to be effective against most, if not all, mine types, ...
