Award Data

MICA was selected and awarded to ARiA under SBIR Topic AF151-194, technically managed by AFRL/RITB with SAF/AQ-OTI as the sponsor organization. Under prior Phase I and II SBIR efforts ARiA developed, trained, and tested the Machine Interface for Contracting Assistance (MICA). MICA leverages academic and commercial-sector advances in cognitive-computing, deep learning, graph storage, informational ...

Amida's Phase II prototype will be a “user system” comprised of an Evaluation Methodology, a Hardware Emulation Unit, and several software items (Trojan/Trigger Insertion, Instrument/ Countermeasure Insertion, Data Collection and Analysis, and an Evaluation Recommendation). It will be instantiated as a physical device and enable a user to evaluate a system in a virtualized and safe environment ...

According to the aerospace medical association 70% to 85% of pilot trainees experience motion sickness. Otolith has developed a wearable technology which has been clinically proven to significantly reduce motion sickness in 100% of subjects with reported efficacy greater than pharmaceutical interventions. The AETC is facing a pilot shortage and has expressed desire for Otolith to integrate its tec ...

EMISSION CONTROL (EMCON), INCLUDING RADAR EMISSION MANAGEMENT, IS A SUBDIVISON OF THE MUCH GREATER SUBJECT OF BATTLE MANAGEMENT. AT PRESENT, THERE IS NOT A FULL DEVELOP AND NAVY ACCEPTED TECHNIQUE FOR EXAMINING THE ENTIRE TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT OF POTENTIAL SEA BATITLES. THIS PROPOSED EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON A VALUABLE SUBSET OF BATTLE STRATEGY, THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSION CONTROL AN ...

To address the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) training challenge of teaching Navy sonar operators advanced concepts and tactical-system operation in complex environments given constraints on training and compressed training cycles, Applied Research in Acoustics LLC (ARiA) has developed and evaluated the feasibility of E-SAIL, the Environment for Surface ASW Interactive Learning. E-SAIL is a unique l ...

There are over 123 UH-1Y aircraft in service today, each equipped with five internal fuel cells, with an average cost of $15k per fuel cell. The current supply chain for UH-1Y fuel cells is not able to meet delivery nor quality requirements, which has resulted in a significant force readiness issue. With this SBIR Phase II proposal, Response Technologies (RT) aims to: 1) “Phase I Qualify” a co ...

ABSTRACT:A system is proposed to access, collate and process imagery from multiple small satellite constellations. The imagery is fused and registered to a common reference so that exploitation algorithms, such as change detection and event monitoring, are reported with accurate geographic coordinates. The system, called SatTel, is implemented as open source software that is designed to run on the ...

Developing secure software is notoriously difficult, partially evidenced by the increasing trend in vulnerabilities disclosed per year. While significant effort has gone into developing tools and automated test frameworks, human behavioral aspects of the software development process have remained relatively unexplored. These behavioral aspects, such as relying on inexperienced developers or prolon ...

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 ...

This project involves the development of hull mounted acoustic motion (accelerometer) sensor with increased sensitivity (+6dB), greater stability, and low cost for hull mounted sonar arrays. Investigations and developments of sensors without and with preamplifiers is considered.
