After Action Review is an essential part of both the training and actual combat environment. Sophisticated AAR Tools, such as PowerSTRIPES, have been developed for use in the modeling and simulation environment. These tools allow users to collect thedata, transform the data as useful information, and present this information in multi-media formats as objective evidence of performance. These too ...

Because of the scarce network bandwidth available on the wireless links, data compression plays a critical role in the wireless system design. We propose to evaluate existing public-domain and commercial lossless data compression packages in the context of wireless networking. The specific criteria used include compression efficiency, compression speed, memory usage, and ease of being incorporat ...

The final prototype of the Microcircuit Board Repair apparatus will be capable of laying down or lifting metal strips with micrometer dimensions. Under real time computer control, the translation stages will be fully automated or manually controlled. The end user will monitor the process in real time using a camera attached with the source. Laying down the metal lines will be done using Laser C ...

An improved computer module for representing rotor flow field effects on flight dynamics response is proposed for development. This model extends finite-state dynamic inflow models to address current limitations in predicting rotorcraft off-axis response to control inputs. The software module also includes features for representing rotor operation in the vortex ring state. The model is novel ...

Certain weapons produce blast waves capable of trauma to gas-filled organs. There is an immediate need for a blast mitigation jacket to prevent lung damage when training with such weapons, and a similar need for combatants. Our first objective in PhaseII is to complete the research and development of fundamental blast mitigation concepts developed during Phase I. During Phase I, we used analyti ...

FSCX will develop a methodology and system design that will lead to a Phase II SBIR prototype, which will provide automated, decision support products to improve collective performance in training and real world operations. The prototype will improveindividual and collective understanding in information intensive, digital environments. FSCX calls this prototype SpectoAgnito, a coined term meanin ...

The proposed research is intended to evaluate the feasibility of a lightweight medical equipment and supplies module for the treatment of trauma patients. This module will consist of interlocking and interchangeable functional modules, or theirequivalent, that can attach to, or detach from, a standard military stretcher (litter) without tools and with attendant medical personnel wearing standard ...

This SBIR will perform research leading to design, prototyping, and feasibility demonstration of an Inactive RF Tag made with a Radio Frequency Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (RF-MEMS) as a means to provide power scavenging in a power poor environmentfound in underground missile storage areas. The research will develop the use of RF-MEMS switches in conjunction with RF MEMS sensors as a means t ...

The ability to store digital, high resolution images at high speeds (10 kHz and higher) has tremendous commercial applications. To meet this need North Dancer Labs proposes to develop a unique high-speed Erasable Holographic Optical Storage system (E-HOS) capable of recording ~100 or more 2-D images with at least 1K X 1K resolution at a 10kHz repetition rate (or higher) which can then be digitize ...
