There are two main objectives of the follow-on Phase II for Small Business Innovation Research Topic N08-199.First is to deliver a portable Splash Impact Measurement System (SIMS) with capablility of mapping the debris field surrounding an engagement event in broad ocean areas.This mapping will provide the precise location and time of all objects impacting the sea surface.The second objective is t ...

The ISSAC Team propose a novel method to encapsulate legacy models and simulations that allows these components to take advantage of modern, multi-core, multi-processor hardware suites. Encapsulating these legacy codes provides 3 primary advantages to deal with complex systems and systems of systems (Air Force, Navy, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) ...

MDAs mission is to develop, test, and field an integrated, layered, Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) to defend the United States, its deployed forces, allies, and friends against all ranges of enemy ballistic missiles in all phases of flight.To accomplish this mission, the BMDS incorporates a substantial array of sensors and weapon systems, plus a Command, Control, Battle Management, and Co ...

"Colorado Engineering, Inc. (CEI), in conjunction with NVIDIA and Altera corporations, proposes to develop a unified tool kit (FASTER Toolkit) to assist MDA with taking CPU-based simulation code and accelerating it utilizing GPUs and FPGAs. CEI's goal is to provide a tool that can provide insights and cues to the users so they can perform the process of creating and profiling a High Performance Co ...

In response to the need for improved thermal management in airborne DE systems, i2C Solutions and New Mexico State University (NMSU) are developing a Stable Maneuverable AiRborne Thermal Management (SMART) two-phase cold plate designed specifically to interface with laser diode arrays resulting in an exceptionally effective, lightweight and simple thermal management subsystem. The SMART device inc ...

To achieve MDAs mission, it is crucial that the BMDS be able to acquire and maintain accurate tracks on objects produced by a missile launch over the lifetime of the threat.Certain missile events, such as break-ups and intercepts, have the potential to adversely affect the quality of situational awareness provided by the BMDS.Therefore, Numerica Corporation proposes an advanced optimization and es ...

MDA invests millions annually on new radar technologies. However, because it is often difficult to relate theoretical advances to warfighter advantages, MDA is challenged to determine the value of certain investments. A critical need is an evaluation tool that can assess early-development radar algorithms, using consistent metrics, so that promising investments can be quickly differentiated from l ...

Applied Radar, Inc. is developing the Single Channel Open Source Architecture (SCORE) digital receiver/exciter (DREX) card which represents a revolutionary step leap in SWAP-C reduction. The SCORE card is a 3U OpenVPX card which incorporates a single channel of waveform generation, RF Upconversion, RF Downconversion, and waveform capture and processing. Importantly, the design is scalable, and des ...

To meet the goals for SBIR topic MDA10-003, Welkin Sciences, LLC will upgrade three important tools needed by DoD's strategic communication: 1) the CommLink computer simulation code; 2) the CommLink Defined Transceiver (CDT) software defined radio and prototyping platform; and 3) the (CoLTS) fading channel simulator. The electronic warfare capability of all three tools will be enhanced and th ...

Current monostatic radar systems suffer fine tracking and discrimination performance degradation when encountering mainlobe jammers deployed within a reentry complex. As a result our forces may be vulnerable to attack. During Phase I, we have developed distributed aperture techniques for mitigating mainlobe jammers which are ready for evaluation in an operational system context. To accomplish this ...
