Award Data

Research conducted in Phase I identified a range of data sources providing vehicle related information to consumers shopping around or interested in knowing more about vehicles. Majority of the commercial data sources focused on vehicle features, new/used/CPO pricing, and vehicles listings. Such data sources lacked safety as their central focus, which is a concern for U.S. Department of Transporta ...

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) is pleased to propose the further design and development of MySidewalk mobile application facilitating the crowd-sourced collection of sidewalk inventory and condition data. The MySidewalk application utilizes advances in social networks and data mining to provide integrated sidewalk datasets. Phase I and II research was facilitated by inputs from City of Colle ...

High Speed Missile to Missile Communications. Approved for Public Release | 19-MDA-9932 (21 Feb 19)

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) will design and demonstrate an Advanced Cyber Threat Intelligence and Vulnerability Analysis Training Environment (ACTIVATE) framework that directly targets the need for advanced cyber network defense training. The proposed new enabling capability will support cyber training against an intelligent red team to enhance cyber operator trainee cyber-attack recognit ...

The Phase II Technical objective will begin with further refinement and testing of the HPM mask retrofit kit based on the findings in Phase I. In Phase II, the HPM oxygen mask retrofit kit will mature into a complete solution with the objective to eliminate mask pain and poor fit, resulting in a marked improvement in pilot mask discipline. In phase I, pilots were interviewed to research the specif ...

RDRTec's baseline Maritime Classification Aid (MCA) system relies heavily on the use of profile view ISAR dwells to perform target classification. The ability to accurately estimate a targets aspect angle is important to classification performance as ship length is a major discriminant and aspect angle is required to translate measure projected target length to ship length. Two important categorie ...

For maritime vessel classification traditional tracking approaches provide the target’s course but not the target’s heading. The target’s course is the actual path of travel while the heading is the direction the bow of the vessel is pointing at any instant in time. Heading variations from course as indicated by the target track are most pronounced for slow target speeds in the presence of b ...

Maritime Classification Aid (MCA) performance will be enhanced by maturing both the 3-D ISAR technology developed under the phase SBIR topic N141-081 and the integration of the enhanced capability with SEMS / Minotaur. Tuning and testing will be focused on transition to the MQ-4C Triton and P-8A Poseidon programs. 3D-ISAR work previously performed on topic N141-018 demonstrated that under favorabl ...

Recent improvements in efficiency and performance of payloads in Air Expendable Countermeasure Decoys have not necessarily benefitedperformance gain for the AN/ALE-47 Countermeasure Dispensing System. The Air Force has the RR-180 Dual Chaff payload, which has proveneffective. The Navy RR-129, however, has not been updated to dual-chaff configuration. Quad-M's approach is to divide the Navy’s cha ...

During this Phase II.5 SBIR effort, we propose to design, develop and fabricate prototype SiGe MMICs and perform initial array layout that will support the baseline AN/ZPY-9 Hybrid Monopulse Interferometry (HMI) C-Band Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar as well as support a fully populated HMI AESA configuration offering potential performance improvements. Our overall objective is to ...
