Trusted identification and provisioning of public safety individuals is extremely difficult during the chaos and time criticality of emergency response operations. Previously unknown individuals must be verified/vetted/provisioned without the benefit of a thorough face-to-face, manual review. The problem is made worse by the lack of a universally accepted system for identity sharing and coordinati ...

Knowledge is empowering! Organizations equipped with timely cyber risk and defense knowledge are in a much better position to properly quantify and react to cyber risks. Surprisingly, many organizations are still poorly prepared with the needed information, experiences, and best practices to effectively combat sophisticated cyber threats.The Cyber Risk Collaboration & Knowledge Tool (CRiCKeT) is a ...

MaXentric proposes the GAU2x2 wideband power amplifier system. The design combines MaXentric’s wideband RF PA technology with advanced digital signal processing in a single small footprint package. This tight integration is made possible through the extremely high efficiency and low power dissipation. Since very little power is dissipated as heat, the package and heat sink size can be minimized. ...

The Directed Energy Tactical Mission Application Code (DETMAC) is a mission planning simulation tool to model directed-energy weapon capabilities, target vulnerabilities, and environmental constraints. It will be used by mission planners to visualize an entire mission timeline and prompt development of optimal tactics, techniques and procedures for successful employment of new weapon capabilities ...

Kennen has a patent pending architecture for a semiconductor device that will execute a model driven instance of an abstract algorithm. This invention is relevant to HSARPA`s HASSM objectives because it will support detection of a variety of threat/intrusion models at wire speed, can be securely isolated from attack, is not vulnerable to buffer overflow, and can provide breakthrough detection acui ...

United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) currently has identified a need to develop improved door breaching capabilities. In response, Mechanical Solutions, Inc. (MSI) has conceived a novel, non-lethal, door-breaching munition. This 12-gauge shotgun round would contain magnetic powder and small, strategically positioned magnets. The powder would approximate a solid projectile upon fir ...

The availability of a lightweight microclimate cooling system will dramatically improve performance and comfort for first-responders operating in HAZMAT environments. In this project, we will continue the development, testing and demonstration of adsorption-based microclimate cooling systems which can be configured for a range of first-responder mission profiles. The cooling system can provide 150 ...

Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (OPT) ?Distributed Buoy Vessel Detection System? addresses the need for a forward-deployed buoy system to detect and track non-cooperative vessels. OPT proposes a network of proprietary passive acoustic sensors and COTS communication equipment, all powered by OPT?s proprietary Autonomous PowerBuoyTM. The PowerBuoy can efficiently convert ocean wave energy to useable ...

This SBIR Phase II proposal to DOD SOCOM requests $749,985.49 of support for Policell Technologies, Inc. to design and develop a safe rechargeable battery replacement for the Lithium BA-5590 battery to eliminate hazards resulting from water exposure under SOCOM specific missions. This proposal responds to SBIR Topic Number 03-013“Battery Modulation for Communication Equipment”. In addition, a ...

Accelerated development of directed energy technologies has presented new problems to mission planners and weapon operators regarding the capabilities, lethality and performance of weapon systems. The Emerging Weapons Technology Evaluation Model willaddress these shortcomings by providing users of varying technical expertise 1) the ability to model a variety of weapons in various mission scenario ...
