"R3 Logic, Incorporated proposes to develop a high-resolution, 12M-pixel 1000 frame / s imager to meet the Army's digital imaging needs for weapons test and evaluation. Through this program, R3 Logic will not only build and demonstrate a high-resolutionimager, but will formulate a new methodology for commercially viable fabrication of large-format focal plane arrays. Large focal plane digital imag ...

"Cadmium zinc telluride is the room temperature detector of choice for non-destructive imaging applications. Monolithic CZT arrays with high count-rate capability (>1e+6 cps/pixel) are required for ultra-fast hyperspectral x-ray imaging. Presently, theyield of CZT detector arrays that can perform hyperspectral imaging (in milliseconds) is low. Most monolithic arrays suffer from "polarization" w ...

"Develop and test antennas suitable for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with signals intelligence and communications payloads and the potential to be used with other systems. New ideas are stressed to achieve antenna miniaturization and wide bandwidths."

"We propose to develop a Scene Estimation & Situational Awareness Mapping Engine (SESAME) enabling mobile robots to autonomously build multi-resolution volumetric models of semi-structured scenes, such as parking lots and city streets. Our model generationalgorithm is suited for both single-camera and stereo setups, enabling 3-D sensing of the environment all around the robot using only a few low- ...

"Information technology and the associated digitization of the battlespace provide a tremendous opportunity for enhancing US military warfighting capabilities. Additionally, the use and proliferation of Geographic Information Systems (GISs) and digitalmapping can further enhance military situation awareness and visualization. These advances have substantial application opportunities for the develo ...

"We propose a Phase II program to develop and demonstrate an Information Operations Decision Aiding (IODA) prototype, for PSYOP/IO analysts operating in data-sparse SASO environments. IODA accomplishes this by leveraging cultural knowledge when little isknown about the individual decision maker. The approach: 1) identifies any known target information, with a focus on group affiliations; 2) fills ...

"The growing digitization of the battlefield gives the intelligence analyst a unique opportunity to access large amounts of information collected over time across a variety of sensors to achieve an unparalleled level of situation awareness. However, beforeusing this array of dynamically changing information, the data must be correlated and fused, and, most of all, managed in a truth maintenance sy ...

"In Phase I, CTI developed a comprehensive framework for organizing normative, cognitive, and applied issues in the field of critical thinking. The principle objective of Phase II is to develop and test Army battlefield command team training based oninsights from that critical thinking framework. In particular, we will investigate three primary issues in critical thinking training: the role of cog ...

"STOP THE SATURATION!! That is the message from the entirety of the technical literature regarding solar magnetic disturbances (SMD) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP). These phenomena produce a quasi-DC current in the earth that enters the powertransmission system via ground-induced currents (GIC). This current saturates power transformers and produces a host of undesirable results leading up to, ...

"Recent Army battlefield experiments at Ft. Benning, GA and Ft. Hood, TX have identified the need for more effective wireless communications. Short-range wireless systems are needed both for dismounted soldier systems and for quick network assembly ofcomputer equipment in command post systems. The development team proposes to develop lightweight, low-power, secure, robust telemetry systems for m ...
