Current state-of-the-art GPS anti-jam technology relies heavily on multi-element antenna arrays and a processing unit that performs a phase-destructive sum of any intentional and unintentional interference signals in the GPS band. These systems are very effective – but tend to be costly, large, and require high power. Canyon Systems is developing an alternate GPS anti-jam/anti-spoof solution to ...

The team of EpiSys Science (EpiSci) and InterDigital proposes to develop and demonstrate an emulation system capable of deploying a full Long Term Evolution (LTE) Fifth Generation (5G) architecture, including all subcomponents, utilizing open source software tools, specifically OpenAirInterface, CORE, and EMANE, into self-contained commodity personal computer hardware. The team will utilize open s ...

UAS platforms are required to operate within urban canyons and other GPS-denied/degraded environments. Navigation within such denied environments carries with it the potential for large communication and computation overheads. More specifically, the sUAS platforms may need to download full or partial 3D maps over the communication network in real-time, and then utilize these maps for navigation vi ...

Anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) pose a significant threat to Army combat vehicles but sensors to detect them and pinpoint their origin are not sensitive enough and do not provide precision origin location information. The laser energy that impacts the ground vehicle is very low, making it both difficult to detect and find its origin. Attollo proposed to solve this problem by bringing to bear on ...

Coatings provide many critical functions that add billions of dollars of value to DoD warfighter systems. Atmospheric pressure, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (AP-PECVD) developed by Surfx Technologies shows great promise in advancing the state-of-the-art in multifunctional coatings. Several chemical precursors can be introduced at the same time and converted into a thin film by the pla ...

The U.S. Army seeks to develop a novel systemic therapy for out-of-hospital management of combat-associated, non-compressible traumatic hemorrhage starting at the point-of-injury through en route care. Critical Innovations, Cayuga Biotech, Charles River, and consultants Captain David Tanen MD, FAAEM, FACMT (USN, Ret.), former Commander Denise Whitfield, MD, FACEP, and William David McGuinn, Jr., M ...

The Army requires greater Situational Awareness (SA) for the aircrews of rotorcraft. Currently, there is no system in place to provide the aircrew with visibility into the ‘blind spots’ that exist below and behind the aircraft. OKSI proposes an innovative multi-frame super-resolution (MFSR) solution to address this need by exploiting low-resolution, high-rate imagery from existing Aircraft Sur ...

A hybrid electric vehicle architecture can use the low-weight, high-power advantage of electric motors in conjunction with the high specific energy of liquid fuel to create a VTOL aircraft capable of long missions. A transitioning vehicle is an ideal architecture for hybrid propulsion technology due to the large difference in power for hover and cruise. In this system, the battery power would augm ...

To address the Army need for a next generation sunlight-readable head-up display (HUD), Intellisense Systems, Inc. (ISI) proposes, in Phase II, to advance the new Visor Projection Aviation Head-Mounted Display (VIPA-HMD), which was proven highly feasible in Phase I. The system is based on an innovative modular design modification of a commercially available miniature laser pico projector to produc ...

Addressing the Army’s need to incorporate optical backbone networks into rotorcraft, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (ISI) proposes to advance development, in Phase II, of the Mission-Capable Scalable Open-Architecture Photonics (McSOAP) system proven feasible in Phase I. Adhering to open-architecture standards including Integrated Modular Architecture (IMA), HOST Tier 1 and Tier 2, and Sensor Open S ...
