With the growing concerns surrounding security and terrorism around the world, biometrics has become one of the premier solutions to combat these problems. Today, even the most sophisticated identification algorithms can take up to 10 seconds to accurately identify a single subject due to the massive size of realistic databases (~1 million subjects). In this proposal, we will discuss a detailed pl ...

Aegisounds existing Digital Active Noise Reduction (DANR) HPD product configuration, developed under a prior Lockheed Martin JSF SDD program, represents the baseline hearing protector system for this SBIR project.  Affordability and performance requirements formed the basis for a Phase I investigation of the DANR HPD.  Key areas of Phase I investigation included the product cost, power consumpti ...

The current M-4 carbine in use by the US Army can be equipped with numerous optics, laser designators/sights, and lights, all with different power requirements and battery supplies. The result is a heavy weapon and a heavier field load of batteries to accommodate the various accessories, which ultimately impacts the soldiers’ effectiveness, particularly on longer missions. The Army requested t ...

We offer to research, design and prototype portions of an intelligent messaging framework that provides a layered approach to the problem, and leverages and integrates with commercial SOA ESB technologies. The first layer applies content filtering on the producer or consumer side based on network conditions, filter probability and message distribution. The second layer provides state filtering whi ...

This proposal describes the development of  a miniature, extremely harsh environment data recoding system.  Leveraging from the concepts and hardware developed during Phase I,  the processing power of the data recording package will be increased and the volume decreased by incorporating the high performance, high density OMAC3(POP) for the DSP function. The power consumption and heat dissipatio ...

Advanced power systems for Future Naval Capability depend on capacitor banks as the first stage of pulsed power. Significant electrical energy is necessary to support a range of applications including electromagnetic armor, electromagnetic gun and electro-mechanical aircraft launch systems. In order to ensure successful integration of these technologies, capacitors with reduced size and weight mus ...

The purpose of this effort is to transition NanoSonic’s Phase II optimized blast and flame protective coatings to continuous pilot scale manufacturing and large scale plural component spray deposition processes. Additionally, NanoSonic will provide nanocomposite coated shipboard panels to Northrop Grumman as part of a Shipbuilder Special Study program to qualify the environmental and operational ...

This project is developing a distributed cognitive spectrum management (CSM) solution that significantly reduces the user control burden and dynamically optimizes a network’s use of spectrum in real-time to changing conditions. In the base period, Phase II will adapt the Phase I CSM solution to manage the WNW OFDM SiS operational environment and enhance the technology readiness level of the CSM ...

MATSYS proposes to develop novel high density, high strength, and highly reactive materials for the enhancement of munitions lethality. This effort will combine our unique expertise in instrumented-Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) with new approaches in powder blend design to develop a new generation of cost-efficient, high strength and highly reactive materials. The proposed material system will ha ...
