"Combat systems have historically been developed through a process that focuses on insular subsystems. This process has resulted in severe limitations on system interoperability and technical obsolescence. In addition, excessive life cycle costs areassociated with maintaining multiple configurations to ensure some level of interoperability. To overcome these limitations, new emphasis has been plac ...

"Our Phase I SBIR project performed innovative research to addressthis problem. This research investigated the feasibility ofdeveloping a multi-purpose, crash survivable, universal flightinformation system and data recorder (UFDR). The UFDR willdigitally process and record structural, engine/propulsion,electrical/avionics, environmental, exceedance, and event data tocrash survivable memory with c ...

"The proposed Phase II SBIR Study for bi-static echo ranging withunknown sources of opportunity defines an integrated analysisapproach and several innovative processing techniques that willproduce an effective submarine sonar design. The increasing needfor active echo detection is driven by the continually evolvingquieter threat submarines and noisier acoustic environments thatseverely limit passi ...

"This Phase II proposal addresses the hardware implementation of a sensor/radar transmitting a target-matched adaptive packet signal (MAP) defined over the time and frequency domains and permitting ultrahigh resolution, high signal-to-noise andclutter-reduced detection of designated targets. The goal of the proposal is to modify the subcontractor's, Raytheon's, testbed and demonstrate selective i ...

The goal of this SBIR proposal is to evaluate the suitability of the WESCAM Model 14 EO sensor, currently deployed in the Predator, for oceanographic research use in the Naval Postgraduate School's "Pelican" optionally piloted aircraft. Sensor specifications will be based on Arete's extensive experience in remote sensing of the ocean, and engineering specifications developed with the Naval P ...

Microwave Technologies Incorporated is proposing the development of a very compact radio-frequency (rf) electron beam accelerator which appears to be well-suited for BMDO's directed energy applications. This novel concept employs a single short rf cavity operating in circular polarization to accelerate a low-energy ma ~netized pencil beam to energies that range from 2 to 10 MeV. The proposed accel ...

NON-NUCLEAR APPROACHES ARE SOUGHT FOR HIGH ENERGY DENSITIES FOR SPACE POWER SYSTEMS. ONE CRITICAL COMPONENT TO ACHIEVE IMPROVED PERFORMANCE IS CAPACITOR STORES. THESE ARE DEPENDENT UPON ADVANCES IN LOW LOSS, HIGH ENERGY/HIGH POWER DENSITY STORAGE MATERIALS. A UNIQUE INORGANIC COMPOSITE IS PROPOSED FOR INVESTIGATION AS A HIGH ENERGY DENSITY STORAGE MATERIAL. AN APPROACH IS FORMULATED BASED ON SOL-G ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The AccuNurse System has been successfully developed in Phase I to provide an easy-to-use "mentor" and communications tool for CNAs and nurses in skilled nursing units. Wireless and advanced speech technologies are merged into a conversational system that provides: individualized resident information, paperless documentation at the point of care, and many other ...
