During Phase I, CISS developed a sensor design for a novel compressive sensing hyperspectral imaging technology called the Reconfigurable Conformal Imaging Sensor (RCIS). RCIS is composed of a CISS-patented HSI spectrometer, the conformal filter (CF), which enables real-time multivariate hyperspectral imaging when combined with CISS dual polarization (DP) technology. RCIS will function in the shor ...

During combat a soldier may incur treatable injuries beyond the expertise of the combat medic. Addressing this by deploying more knowledgeable Medical Officers per-squad could be life-saving and significantly improve battlefield injury recovery. However, limited resources often prevent deployment of such expertise per-squad. During our Phase I RACC development, Neya Systems has successfully demons ...

This project team will develop and test a prototype of SuperChem VR, a game to support high school students' basic chemistry learning. The prototype will include a set of web-based laboratory modules which will be integrated within a virtual reality headset to allow for a 360-degree visual exploration of the environment. The prototype will also include teacher resources for classroom implementatio ...

Modern computer systems often incorporate multiple computational devices such as conventional processors, graphics processing units (GPUs), specialized accelerators, and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Programmers are able to exploit these new architectures for improved performance and reduced power consumption, but at the cost of increased programing complexity. Further complicating matte ...

Accurately assessing a persons exposures to putative air toxicants is central to the challenge of determining health effects. The lack of low cost, easy-to-use personal air sampling technology hinders assessment especially in deployed military populations. We propose to introduce an innovative approach for measuring military and occupational exposure to fumes. We will demonstrate a lightweight, in ...

A reconfigurable, small form factor, cost effective, infrared hyperspectral imaging system capable of operating in real-time is required for a broad array of missions to detect a variety of threats under dynamic operating conditions. The solution is the Reconfigurable Conformal Imaging Sensor (RCIS). RCIS is a high frame rate, multivariate hyperspectral imaging tool for use in dynamic threat envir ...

Not Available The goal of this Phase I research is to design, fabricate, and test a high-effeciency, low-power, two-phase pumped loop. This high-efficiency, low-power, two-phase pumped loop will use a unique two-phase working fluid pair that offers the capability of higher efficiency and lower pumping power becuase of its heat of solution characteristic. This heat of solution characteristic, comb ...

Not Available This research project will result in the development of a cost analysis tool used for critical design trades early in the development process of new systems. The tool will enable the engineer, analyst, scientiest, or system planner to conduct life-cycle cost evaluations duringthe development process. The cost evaluations will contribute to effective design trades ensuring integral a ...

Not Available CTI proposes to extend the agile waveform doublet pulse concept to characterize and improve its performance for measuring micro-doppler motion properties of ground and airborne targets from moving platforms at long range. Rather than focus on developing core hardware technologies, the proposed effort serves to take a system-level view of the agile pulse technology to transform the ...
