The PARM-APT product presented in this proposal can best be described as a Modeling and Simulation Tool for use in planning and managing project efforts. It contains all the aspects of scheduling, budgeting, resource allocation and monitoring found in standard commercial project management systems (such as Microsoft Project and Primavera Project Planner and SureTrak). More importantly however is t ...

We will build a Geolocation on GPS Jammer (GOGJ) Geolocator/Seeker and demonstrate a prototype system. The system will be tested in 3 phases: Ground-based tested, flight tested on a manned aircraft, and flight tested on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). We will demonstrate that the system is capable of precisely geolocating single and multiple jammers in each phase of testing.

In Phase I, IAI has developed a novel algorithm that uses a network of GPS receivers to improve the position accuracy of the nodes even when very limited or no differential GPS infrastructure is available. Our key innovation lies in modeling the temporal characteristics of DGPS correction in order to tolerate long latencies and leveraging relative GPS positioning data available to each of the plat ...

The proposed project will realize a low profile, circularly polarized, X/Ka-band antenna system designed for Communication On-The-Move applications. The preliminary X-Band antenna design was successfully accomplished in Phase I, with mating Ka-band antenna and common gimbal concepts included. A preliminary Ka-Band antenna design is planned for the Phase I Option. The complete detailed design of ...

The Air Force Smart Operations 21 (AFSO21) initiative is examining process improvements across the service. With this new evolving culture, it is critical to have detailed process definitions as well as a real understanding of how changes in those processes impact the country’s war-fighting capability. The Logistics Composite Model (LCOM) provides an important assessment capability to ensure ope ...

Current geo-technical measurement systems are low resolution and generally require significant research vessel support. In this SBIR, the OASIS/WHOI team proposes to build a system that will remotely, autonomously and rapidly estimate and map shear strength parameters using state-of-the art Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (AUV) technology. The AUV-based Acoustic Sediment Classifier (ASC) is an inno ...

A mobile, vehicle mounted, geolocation system for low power, non-cooperative RF signals will be fabricated and tested. This system will monitor the RF spectrum and detect signals, provide geolocation capability, and provide real-time results.

The next generation of autonomously guided munition seekers requires the development of LADAR systems capable of detection through obscurants at greater ranges and with greater precision and speed while reducing system cost, weight, and power consumption. Aerius Photonics has developed an advanced in-line optical preamplifier (I-LOP) technology to enhance the performance of LADAR receiver systems ...

In Phase I of this SBIR effort, Lakota created a general model for a component-based display architecture and a prototype of this general model in the form of a set of USW displays executing within the framework. In Phase II, Lakota proposes to follow through with the groundwork laid down in Phase I by developing the Enterprise Display Infrastructure (EDI) a ‘pluggable’ display infrastructure ...

AMI seeks to continue its research into innovative software for forming ad-hoc teams, by collaborative support and enhancement of the People Finder software currently installed at AFRL. We will add features and functionality to the People Finder application that has taken us part of the way to developing a team-building application. We will leverage this system, learn from its users, and add funct ...
