Long-duration wide-area surveillance missions increasingly are space-based. MEO orbits offer space-based radar systems more time on station, but require very large array apertures on the order of 100m in diameter. Achieving larger apertures with smaller, lighter launch packages and stable on-orbit pointing is a challenge that E-Textiles promises to meet. Textile processes can be used to achieve a ...

For Phase II, Kutta proposes their Autonomous Multi-Mission Planner and Controller Tool (AMMPACT) solution to produce a lightweight, modular, ruggedized heterogeneous unmanned vehicle controller. The AMMPACT product goal is to assist the Army with increasing the lethality and survivability of the warfighters while reducing the amount of equipment required to be carried. Kutta’s AMMPACT product ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Hospital acquired microbial infections are the fourth largest killer in America taking lives and adding $ B to hospital costs The emergence of drug resistant microbes has further amplified public health concern Fungi are prolific producers of anti microbial secondary metabolites SM and since the turn of the century have provided of bioactive m ...

An eye-safe, multispectral cross-track scan subsystem with a large receiver aperture and a narrow FOV is proposed for the NASA Cloud Physics Lidar (CPL) to increase the horizontal scan area coverage. The /-14 degree cross-track scan capability will cover /- 5 km from nadir at a 20 km altitude. The cross-track scanner uses a bidirectional scan pattern, which collects 10,000 data points per cross ...

The ability to accurately and covertly deliver light weight payloads from small aircraft redefines the way the US DOD performs air drop operations. The ability to emplace intelligent smart munitions, leaflets or light weight resupply bundles has bever been done before. Through this SBIR STARA will enhance its proven Mosquito 2 guided parachute system to create a dynamic, scalable guided parachut ...

The backbone of the 21st century fleet will be the next-generation of surface combatants such as the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). The LCS will primarily operate in the littoral combat space acting as a central point of deployment, capture and re-deployment of naval surface craft and submersibles. The littoral combat space is also one of the key strategic locations enemies will deploy explosive de ...

NASA has drawn attention to an impending need to improve energy-efficiency in low supersonic (M

Secure-Private Area Network (S-PAN) provides a secure, short-range wireless link between COTS end user devices (smartphones/tablets) and associated tactical radios. The tactical radios provide for communications over longer ranges to applications served to the user devices running on secured backend networks. The DoDs field integration and test activities held during NIE 12.1 and 12.2 at the Ft. ...

CUBE Technology has created an extremely compact and efficient enclosed combustor dubbed a Micro-Furnace that have demonstrated an unprecedented operating range. They operate on fuels from hydrogen to alcohol to JP-8. This Micro-Furnace combustor is fast-starting and burns less than 200gm of JP-8 fuel to deliver 400cc/minute of CO2 Mosquito attractant over 12 hours. In addition, this system inc ...

Building on the successful research performed in Phase I of this SBIR, Ridgetop will develop cost-saving technologies to assess and improve the state-of-health of IT network components and services. The approach taken involves a four-step process: (1) regularly query network hardware and software via existing measurement points, (2) process the extracted data with advanced diagnostic and prognost ...
