At present, there is no certified/accredited Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)-based solution for cross-domain voice and video that can support more than two domains.The desired IOC end state for the new MDAVS technology is a fundamentally new architecture that supports more than two simultaneous domains and can manage much larger numbers of concurrent calls while supporting high definition vide ...

ABSTRACT:Recent technical demonstrations in hostile fire sensing and classification have highlighted the use of costly cryogenically-cooled electro-optical sensors.While capable, these types of sensors come with a higher initial purchase price as well as high life cycle costs per platform.This activity will implement a broad area hostile fire sensing architecture that uses lower cost discrete sens ...

ABSTRACT:Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) havebeen the most dynamic growth sector of the aerospace industry this decade and it is projected to double overthe next decade. The most significant catalyst has been the enormous growth of interest in UAVs by the US military, tied to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the general trend towards information warfare and net-centric systems. UAVs ar ...

ABSTRACT:The objective of the overall SBIR program is to develop a high performance mid-format (512 x 512, with 30 micron pitch) broad-band mid-wave (MW, 5 micron cut-off wavelength at 200K) infrared (IR) focal plane arrays (FPAs) using InAs/GaSb strained layer superlattices (SLS). SKINfrared LLC (SKI), a spin-off from the Krishna Infrared Detector (KIND) Nanostructures laboratory at the Universit ...

ABSTRACT:The overall objective of this effort is to develop technologies that extend sustainment modeling and simulation capabilities to support improved investment decisions throughout the weapon system lifecycle.Specifically, the main objective of this proposed Phase II research effort is to develop the concept for a new simulation capability that enhances, combines and integrates simulation too ...

ABSTRACT:Exquadrum, Inc. proposes to develop an innovative and advanced, low-cost, high-performance, cryogenic upper stage engine cycle.The SLATE engine is a modified dual-bleed expander cycle that maintains state of the art performance while enabling significantly reduced weight, size, and cost, increased reliability, improved operability, and scalability.The engine cycle enables lower pump disch ...

ABSTRACT:Goals of this Autofoveation Sensor Technology (AFOST) small camera/algorithm effort are to continue to optimize on FPA automated tiling/autofoveation processing merge closed loop processing performance with the aid of near sensor processors. We will provide a path toward larger format sensors for small platforms.The potential for high resolution compact sensors on small platforms along wi ...

ABSTRACT:The objective of this proposal is to design an inexpensive hypersonic test article with an associated instrumentation package capable of providing measurements necessary for advancing the understanding of aerothermal behavior in the hypersonic flow regime. Significant advances and accuracy validation within multi-physics computational science and engineering (CSE) toolsets (such as comput ...

ABSTRACT:Radiation hardened microelectronics is a continuing requirement for DoD and commercial spacecraft. The generational gap between commercial devices and space rated devices keeps widening due to ever increasing qualification costs and complexities inherent in smaller geometries and advanced processes. Radiation hardened computing capability is an even harder problem due to the constraints i ...

ABSTRACT:AMI shall build and test an installation of a Continuous Custody system during Transport of a satellite. Using a GFE shipping container, AMI would design and build a Continuous Custody during Transport (CCT) system based on the concepts from Phase I as well as our learnings from the Digital Assurance System project.The proposed CCT system would include video capture and environmental sens ...
