Accelerated development of directed energy technologies has presented new problems to mission planners and weapon operators regarding the capabilities, lethality and performance of weapon systems. The Emerging Weapons Technology Evaluation Model willaddress these shortcomings by providing users of varying technical expertise 1) the ability to model a variety of weapons in various mission scenario ...

With the rapid expansion of signaling technology and broad-based adoption and use of commercial communications systems (for example, cellular telephone, satellite telephone, and trunked radio) by enemy military, paramilitary, and terrorist groups, a newset of tactical situational awareness and force protection challenges must be addressed and met by deployed SOF signal surveillance teams. Applied ...

Applied Signal Technology, Inc. proposes to design, develop, and manufacture a Manpack Wireless Surveillance System, called ROGUE. ROGUE is being specifically design for use by SOF personnel for tactical wireless communications monitoring and forceprotection mission operations. ROGUE is a small (7.2

This research project develops engine technology capable of scavenging power from naturally occurring energy sources in order to supply power for weapon monitoring systems. The environmental energy sources targeted are: ambient temperature, barometricpressure and humidity. Most existing techniques for scavenging power are built around ideal environments. The weapon systems will most likely not ha ...

The overall goal of this program is to build a compact, lightweight, portable laboratory kit that can be used to analyze chemistries, cell counts, parasites, bacteria, and other pathogens in blood, urine, and body fluids. Our proposed Portable Micro-Lab(PML) kit will be composed of two sub-systems:1) Environmentally stable microdot test strips smaller than a stick of chewing gum and containing th ...

This proposal focuses on the design and realization of a Rapid Development Environment (RDE) for synthesizing Physiological Diagnostic Systems. A high level of productivity will be reached through the development of libraries of sensors, and of elementaryand complex physiology models. The user will compose a diagnostic algorithm and system prototype by combining building blocks thorough an intelli ...

A Diesel driven high efficiency, portable thermoelectric generator capable of producing 500 Watts, scalable to 1500 Watts will be designed at Hi-Z Technology. The unit will supply uninterruptible power at 28 VDC for a minimum of 8 hours. The generatorwill be capable of starting and operating from -32 oC to + 52 oC. The unit system efficiency will be over 10%, it will exhibit a suppressed infrar ...

The remote video weapon sight from Phase I prototype allows the operator to engage threats from cover or concealment, accurately, thereby raising the operators lethality and safety in a hostile engagement. System is based on a waterproof proprietarywearable computer.

Policell Technologies Inc. proposes 6 month research effort to demonstrate the feasibility of replacing the lithium BA-5590 with a rechargeable battery. It is proposed to design and develop basic pouch lithium-ion cells that are suitable for assembly ofBA-5590 battery and deliver some basic pouch cells to SOCOM by the end of the Phase I program. The battery system will be based on Policell Technol ...

An efficient thermophotovoltaic system that is cost-effective, light weight, and mechanically robust is proposed. The high efficiency is achieved by employing a silicon cell array illuminated by a ytterbium oxide emitter along with a high degree ofthermal recuperation from a thermally stress tolerant ceramic regenerator.A burner, power by aerosolized or atomized logistic fuels, rapidly mixes the ...
