Path Planner for Dynamic Environments
SBC: DRAGONFLY PICTURES, INC. Topic: SB082030Despite excellent recent progress in path planning, current state-of-the-art planners are still incapable of operating robustly in environments that are both cluttered and highly dynamic. The challenge is two-fold. First, predicting the trajectories of dynamic obstacles (i.e., cars, humans, aircraft) is very noisy. As a result, to achieve robust execution, perception modules need to provide a rich ...

Mobile Offshore Platform for Wind Turbine Power Generation
SBC: Applied Physical Sciences Corp. Topic: SB082056The Department of Defense (DOD) would benefit from a persistent mobile power generating capability to support global deployments, remote basing, and disaster relief. Eliminating the need for fuel transport over long distance, a towable floating wind turbine could provide a persistent power source. The most robust configuration for this concept is an unmoored free-floating design. Such a mobile fre ...

PVT Handheld App to Provide Warfighters with Immediate Feedback About Their Readiness to Perform
SBC: PULSAR INFORMATICS, INC. Topic: SB102002This project will achieve a handheld app to deliver the brief, 3-minute Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) to provide immediate objective feedback to warfighters (and commanding officers) about their ability to sustain attention to mission critical tasks (e.g., route clearance, IED detection). It will be based on our vigilance testing technology that has been heavily validated to be sensitive to fat ...

Non-Condensing Anti-Fog Hydrophobic Optical Coating
SBC: Nico Technologies Corp. Topic: SB101010Ultrahydrophobic coatings can provide an elegant solution to the anti-fogging problem that plagues current military optical systems. Biomimetic composite materials can offer realistic and permanent solution to the existing short-comings of current anti-fogging coatings. This proposal suggests realization of a biomimetic composite for anti-fogging films that: (1) are composed of an inorganic compon ...
