"AeroAstro proposes to develop a scaleable architecture for a low cost, rapid response Smart Escort Microsatellite inspection and servicing system that will support the needs of the United States military's current and planned space assets, while workingwithin the constraints of the RASCAL program. Instead of competing with other, large infrastructure on orbit servicing programs, this effort will ...

"The team of Artis, LLC, Noesis, Inc. and Brandeis University will address four objectives in Phase I. First, we will develop a system, the Virtual Motion Induction System (VMIS), that couples the sensed motion in the environment to a simulatedenvironment. The purpose of VMIS is to reduce the onset and severity of motion side effects. Second, we will test VMIS on multiple laboratory motion plat ...

"Current commercial market offers many products that may form the basis from which to proceed, these devices were not designed with the original intent to perform in the austere environment of combat by minimally trained personnel where evacuation andaccess to higher echelons of medical care are likely to be significantly delayed. The overarching challenge will be to design robust light-weight an ...

"Cougaar Software is proposing a innoavtive new approach to user environments, one powered by distributed agent technology and utilizing the latest in JavaBean, Component, Design Pattern and Agent technology to achieve something never before possible -dynamic process-based composable user interfaces with active shared data spaces, as shown in Figure 1. This approach will realize the concept of Ac ...

"Existing signal processing algorithms for remote sensing were typically derived, first, by formulating the problem in the contextof one of the following: inverse theory (e.g. integral equations, integral transforms, deconvolution), singular valued decomposition,filter theory, estimation theory, information theory, detection theory, or beamforming; and then, second, by deriving a solution thatme ...

"In order to prevent, deter, and analyze suspicious behavior by individuals in public spaces, this project will develop a commercially viable system for tracking people in various environments using a single camera, or multiple cameras with overlappingfields of view. Single camera tracking of individuals requires algorithms for detecting people and then tracking them. The detection approach will ...

"Military command posts of the future are increasingly likely to be located in or near densely populated urban environments. Due to occluding building and trees, these environments make it impossible for a single sensor to monitor potentially threateningevents over an extended period of time. Therefore, the command post must deploy and efficiently monitor a large number of video cameras in order ...

"The interface between human and machine has classically been one-sided. Humans command machines with little assistance offered by the machine besides feedback regarding current status of the command execution. With recent advances in computational powerand analytical techniques, a more collaborative relationship between the machine and its user can occur. This relationship would be particularly h ...

"The objective of the proposed SBIR Phase II proposal is to provide a major advance in the development of polymer thin film ferroelectrics for microwave device applications. In the Phase I program, we have demonstrated a 50% change in the dielectricconstant at 1.0 V bias voltage applied, a significant improvement in device performance compared to competing barium strontium titanate based devices ...
