By the conclusion of Phase 1, important discoveries were made concerning the technological, market, and business feasibility of the Rapid Acquisition Platform. We have concluded that the RAP is feasible and may proceed to product development. In Phase II, GBTI will develop an end-to-end RAP utilizing the scientific and technological discoveries made in Phase 1. Phase 2 will be implemented over the ...

As the DoD continues to develop applications backed by cloud-based data and enterprise infrastructures, remote-sites will require on-site data caches to permit operation during periods of disconnect from the enterprise.To address this challenge for SOCOMs Chimera system, Black River will develop a stand-alone Chimera system that is independent of Amazon cloud software; develop bi-directional data ...

There has long been a need to quickly identify persons at long range with high accuracy.For tactical applications, solutions need to be compact, lightweight and frugal with power.Solutions also need to be fully functional in environments where communications are limited or non-existent.Challenges to meeting these requirements are: 1) obtaining sufficient face image resolution at long range, 2) rem ...

The balance between the advantages and liabilities of sharing personal and organizational digital information continues to be tested. While modern information technologies have provided tremendous boosts to personal, corporate and public-sector capability growth, they also expose a vulnerability that can cripple organizations and put personal livelihoods at great risk. For U.S. Government person ...

The Advanced Vertical Takeoff and Landing (AVTOL) unmanned aerial system (UAS) is the follow-on Phase II SBIR effort using the point of departure Group 1 aircraft conceptually designed during the G1-RADUASPhase I trade study. The purpose of this phase is to further develop AVTOL technologies, build 2 operationally relevant prototypes with integrated payloads, and insert this technology into the Do ...

Our nations warfighting capability is both aided and hindered by increasing volume, velocity, and variety of heterogeneous PED data. A scalable, adaptable, open architecture and automation are central themes in the proposed Phase II approach. The proposed architecture features innovative Master Repository (MR) and GeoPackage Repository (GR), with new tools and services that operate in a cloud envi ...

The Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) analysts have a challenging task to extract useful information from huge volumes of data from various sources like Full Motion Video (FMV), Wide Area Motion Imagery (WAMI), satellite imagery, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and others. Modern Machine Learning (ML) algorithms based on deep learning have greatly advanced computer vision, speech ...

Ample evidence exists that US military operational information is released via social media and internet sources; possibly compromising operational security (OPSEC). IST Research designed, in Phase I, Managing Operations Security Tool (MOST) to detect and characterize these OPSEC threats in online data and propose mitigation techniques. MOST supports identity management and force protection profes ...

Military divers are experiencing negative medical side effects from inhalation of cold air or mixed gas (HeO2) while diving with a closed-circuit breathing apparatus.Therefore, SOCOM is looking for an innovative device that will reheat a divers inspired breathing gas to prevent a diver from experiencing hypothermia.Paragon will apply relevant experience in the design and manufacturing of active an ...

An innovative solution that improves procurement process for rapid software development that is enabled by an innovative software technology consisting of either vendor hosted SaaS solutions, the government hosted COTS or custom solution in the AWS cloud, or a combination of both. The technology supports reverse auction, crowdsourcing and/or other procurement methods. The end product will be deplo ...
