Award Data

Cyber threats facing Aircraft Systems and related DoD advanced information technology systems requires cyber infrastructure matching their enormity and complexity, accompanied by Risk Assessment capabilities for understanding intricate hostile attack options, assessing vulnerabilities and facilitating decision-making. This decision making capability should include those related to investment into ...

MICA was selected and awarded to ARiA under SBIR Topic AF151-194, technically managed by AFRL/RITB with SAF/AQ-OTI as the sponsor organization. Under prior Phase I and II SBIR efforts ARiA developed, trained, and tested the Machine Interface for Contracting Assistance (MICA). MICA leverages academic and commercial-sector advances in cognitive-computing, deep learning, graph storage, informational ...

Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. will develop innovative cognitive software algorithms and techniques for electronic warfare in order to counter highly agile radar emitters. We will define and develop a concept for cognitive Software Algorithms EW techniques for identifying and countering agile threat emitters. We will also develop prototype signal sets that emulate threat emitters. We will dem ...

The lack of adequate fatigue life verification for rotorcraft airframe structures leads to costly in service repairs being required in order to maintain structural integrity. The current established methodology does not test the airframe to the synergistically harmful combination of high cycle fatigue (HCF) vibratory load cycles superimposed on low cycle fatigue (LCF) caused by “g” maneuvers a ...

We at M&J Engineering, P.C. (M&J has been a certified SBA 8A firm since April 2015) along with our partner, Thornton Tomasetti – Weidlinger Applied Science, propose to develop and implement a full design of a documented workflow and model review process for hull strength assessment. It includes a software implementation of analytical tools (MARQUS) to assess FEM inputs and outputs in a standardi ...

The goal of this Phase II SBIR is to extract more information from existing submarine acoustic sensors through a highly innovative inter- and intra-sensor correlation algorithmic, in order to provide U.S. submarines with increased acoustic superiority over increasingly quiet adversaries. U.S. adversaries are continuously improving their acoustic quieting technologies through efforts such as marine ...

The ultimate goal of this SBIR effort is to deliver improvements to existing Fleet electronic warfare support systems by using statistical learning techniques to aid in the classification and unique identification of modern radar emitters. Since software-defined and solid-state emitters do not have the analog features traditionally used for classification, we will use more abstract, but well-defin ...

SEA CORP will leverage the innovative technologies developed under the prior SBIR Phase II project and extend the Research & Development (R&D) activities to the development of critical submarine combat system payload integration efforts. In the previous effort, components were successfully developed facilitating integration of Improved Submarine Launched Mobile Mine (ISLMM) capability aboard subma ...

IEM has developed a unique, patented torque measurement system. Early development and testing of this TMS has shown encouraging results suggesting this system may offer great benefits rotorcraft operation and maintenance. The focus of this Phase II effort is on improvements to the electronic hardware and software to provide improved accuracy under conditions expected during actual operation.

The goal of the Phase II work is to develop a prototype COTS/Semi-COTS detector optimized for use with the Varex K15A Linatron X-ray source. In the conducted Phase I work, three candidate detector configurations were identified, with the second detector configuration as likely the most optimal, and the first detector configuration as the second choice. During the first part of the Phase II work, a ...
