Integrated Solutions for Systems, Inc. (IS4S), a leader in advanced PNT technology, proposes to develop a personal First Responder navigation and tracking system for use in GPS-limited or denied environments. The system will Track First Responder motion with inertial-based pedometry combined with visual odometry Have a modular and scalable architecture to incorporate, but not rely on, other aidin ...

RESEARCH INTO ESTABLISHING THE FEASIBILITY OF FORMULATING A NEW THEORY TO PREDICT THE ANGULAR DEPENDENCE OF SCATTERING FROM SURFACES WHICH ARE ROUGH COMPARED TO THE WAVELENGTH OF INCIDENT LIGHT IS PROPOSED. THE RESEARCH WOULD INCLUDE IDENTIFYING ANOMALIES OBSERVED IN SCATTERING FROM METALLIC SURFACES. THE EFFECTS OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS PARAMETERS SUCH AS THE RMS SLOPES, RMS ROUGHNESS, AUTOCOVARIANCE ...

Protecting the effectiveness of US advanced weapon systems and the technology they rely on is a national priority. Unfortunately, individuals tasked with this mission are met with disjointed guidance, no training, and competing processes to consider. It is no wonder adversaries continue to exploit these weaknesses in the Department of Defense (DOD); stealing our Critical Program Information (CPI) ...

The goal of this project is to develop a validated, commercial quality reagent kit for the reliable collection of fingerprints (i.e., latent ridge impressions) that would subsequently be used for both comparison and DNA profiling. The kit would provide all required materials, reagents, solutions and would include a detailed protocol describing the steps to (i) identify latent ridge impressions (al ...

Mission times for high velocity projectiles (HVP) are very short and detection and discrimination of targets must happen quickly and decisively. One way to achieve this is through the enhanced contrast resulting from polarized sensing, which tends to highlight manmade objects and suppress natural background clutter. Thermal polarimetric sensing in a small package has been demonstrated already but ...

The capability to reliably and remotely detect and track tactical surface targets in a high-velocity projectile after launch is a critical need. The discrimination of man-made objects can be assisted by the detector technology, with options including two-color detectors and polarimetric filtering in the thermal infrared bands. The level of complexity in the focal plane array affects its survivabil ...

INFORMATION USE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A KEY FACTOR IN ENHANCING COMPETITIVENESS OF THE NATION'S INDUSTRIES. THE RESEARCH PROPOSED WOULD RIGOROUSLY EVALUATE CURRENT IMPEDIMENTS TO EFFECTIVE USE, DEFINE POTENTIAL ECONOMIC VALUE OF ENHANCED USE, AND EXPLORE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR COMPUTERIZED DECISION AIDS TO INCREASE INFORMATION EFFECTIVENESS IN DECISIONMAKING. THESE GOALS WOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR TH ...
