G1-RADUAS (Group 1 Reconnaissance And Delivery Unmanned Aircraft System) will utilize a Group 1 state of the art UAV to perform package pickup and delivery and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) for United States Army Special Operations Forces missions. Phase 1 will conduct a feasibility study in order to determine what is in the art of the possible from a system requirements st ...

nVision Technology, Inc. proposes to develop a system that mounts to the mortar system and brings the same level of performance and ease of use to fire control for 60mm, 81mm, and 120mm mortar systems that it has brought to small arms fire control. With built-in sensors and minimal user input (projectile information, the wind, range/position of target), the system will automatically compensate ...

The proposed system will be capable of being tube mounted on the 60/81/120mm mortar tubes for the measuring of the barrel elevation and cant angles and will provide a firing solution, elevation and azimuth angle, required to impact the target at the range input by the user. The range to the target can be directly entered by the user, read from a fielded laser range finder (VECTOR, PLRF, etc), or c ...

Orbital Research, with Blue Diamond LLC, will investigate the mortar weapon system and provide high payoff concepts to increase the range and accuracy of the mortar. Through a comprehensive and multi-disciplined approach the Team will study the internal and external ballistics of each design solution and allow for down selection of those that have the highest payoff and minimal modification to he ...

Advanced Tactical Facial Recognition at a Distance Technology There has long been a need to quickly identify persons at long range with high accuracy. For tactical applications, solutions need to be compact, lightweight and frugal with power. Solutions also need to be fully functional in environments where communications are limited or non-existent. Challenges to meeting these requirements a ...

DZYNE Technologies proposes the development of an exploitation-focused data repository that leverages industry-proven big data technologies, innovations in software architecture design, and industry-standard formats and interfaces. Through research and development of PADRE (Processing Advanced Data Repository for Exploitation), the DZYNE Team will deliver a high performance, geospatially nimble, ...

Special Operations Forces needs a repository containing three dimensional (3D) geospatial and structural information that can be visualized when developing plans and executing operations. Limited success integrating CAD and GIS information over the last 20 years illustrates the difficulty of this task. The proposed study determines feasibility of a 3D BIM, CAD, and GIS repository by personnel with ...

The realization of true color high resolution imaging systems that operate with an effective engagement range in both daylight and low light level conditions presents a difficult yet necessary challenge. Enabling color visualization cues under all illumination conditions for tactical imaging systems can greatly increase situational awareness, increase target detection/identification time, and redu ...

Department of Defense (DOD) and Intelligence Community (IC) information systems increasingly rely on access to enterprise hosted cloud infrastructures, such as the Intelligence Community Information Technology Enterprise (ICITE), for data exploitation. However, many DOD operators are required to operate in austere situations, where disconnected, limited or intermittent (DIL) communications impose ...

There is ample evidence and channels for US military operational information to be released via social media and the interment; possibly compromising OPSEC. Tools to accurately identify what publicly available information is out there are lacking and even if these data were readily available, the volume is quite significant and tools to integrate and analyze are likewise lacking. Moving from overs ...
