High Output Turboelectric Diesel (HOTeD)
SBC: AURORA FLIGHT SCIENCES CORPORATION Topic: SB082010There is a current need for small heavy fuel engines that are light and reliable enough to be used in a variety of applications, such as UAV propulsion. The challenges for such an engine are in meeting the often stringent and competing requirements of high thermal efficiency and high power to weight ratio. Microturbines lack in thermal efficiency and small diesel engines lack in power to weight. ...

Very High Altitude Propulsion System (HDAT)
SBC: AURORA FLIGHT SCIENCES CORPORATION Topic: SB072045TBDThere is interest in unmanned aircraft that can be deployed to a target via unconventional means and operate at high altitudes for extended periods. A key technology required for such an aircraft is a propulsion system capable of providing the required thrust while meeting stringent requirements. Due to method for deployment, the propulsion system is required to meet several additional requi ...

Platform Independent Omni-directional Antennas
SBC: BARRON ASSOCIATES, INC. Topic: SB082037Increasingly, enemy forces employ technologies that either depend on RF communications or produce detectable RF signatures. Thus, there are many types of RF signals and signatures that can be detected over a variety of different frequency bands and environments by RF sensors. When received, this information can be exploited to confront or avoid potential threats. These sensors operate on differe ...

Statistical Algorithms for Assessing the Efficacy of Community-Generated Educational Games
SBC: BARRON ASSOCIATES, INC. Topic: SB072012The strength of the United States military is highly dependent upon the continued superiority of intellectual resources and technology in the battle arena. Emerging trends indicate that fewer students are pursuing education in the sciences and technology. In an effort to reverse this trend, researchers are working to engage students through interactive educational software. However, a recent U. ...

Distributed Frameworks for Dynamic Human/Agent Collaborative Problem Solving
SBC: Cougaar Software, Inc. Topic: SB062008In the Phase I effort, we studied the problem of how to achieve a high-quality distributed system for dynamic human / agent collaborative problem solving in a specialized domain. From that effort we determined that context was a key missing element that made that collaboration difficult to establish and maintain. Based on our work in Deep Situational Reasoning, we derived a framework from which ...

Probabilistic Logic for Knowledge Representation and Automated Reasoning
SBC: DECISIVE ANALYTICS CORPORATION Topic: ST081004Conventional statements of logic (e.g., simple statements of the form “if x then y”) allow individuals and machines to make quick and efficient determinations of the state of the world through the rules of deduction. This type of reasoning, however, does not naturally accommodate a fundamental and irreducible aspect of our knowledge about the world: we are more often than not uncertain about o ...

Wide Area Video Motion Blur Elimination
SBC: ObjectVideo Topic: ST081007This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I project will investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of fusing image analysis with Global Position System (GPS) and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) information to eliminate motion blur from hi-resolution wide area videos. The key innovations in the proposed effort are: 1) a novel non Linear Shift-Invariant (LSI) motion blur estimation algorithm ...

Validating Large Scale Simulations of Socio-Political Phenomena
SBC: EVIDENCE BASED RESEARCH, INC. Topic: SB072013There is a growing recognition that simulations representing social and political phenomena are very useful to today’s military to support planning and execution of operations associated with irregular warfare. While many technical challenges are being addressed by DARPA, social science simulations still present an overarching problem: methods and capabilities to show that a simulation is work ...

Dynamic Hardware Development Methodology for FPGAs
SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED Topic: SB062006Configurable computing devices, such as Field Programmable Gates Arrays (FPGAs), permit arbitrary reprogramming of the devices’ hardware structure after manufacture. This programmability greatly decreases development costs and time-to-market compared to Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). Almost all commercial designs using FPGAs treat the configurable logic as static in the dep ...

Biosensor Assay for Avian Influenza Detection
SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED Topic: SB062004As a counter-measure to bioterrorism, the objective of this project is to provide soldiers with early detection and identification of pathogenic viruses that can cross the species barrier. Luna Innovations Incorporated develops, tests, and optimizes an assay for marking any strains of human influenza A or avian influenza A virus, including mutant strains that can transmit between these species. ...
