Award Data

Automated processing of sensor/signal data and other non-sensor information provides substantial force-multiplying benefits. The timely and cost-effective leveraging of these types of information provides a significant advantage over adversaries not possessing comparable information processing capabilities. The intelligent processing of diverse types of data provides a target assessment technology ...

"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 ...

There is a need for simple, light-weight practical instrumentation for rapid characterization of chemical and biological analytes in the modern battlefield. Recently, a surface-sensitive diode laser (SSDL), having over 1% of the mode power in the region extending 40 nm from the laser surface has been designed and fabricated. The SSDL was capable of monitoring the deposition of absorptive films a ...

This proposal addresses the requirements for a Micro Aerial Vehicle (uAV) communications systems. The RF link between an airborne uAV and uAV Ground Control Station (MGCS) presents significant technical challenges. The central issue is the competing requirements of communications system complexity necessary to overcome the multiple communication link degradations versus the necessity for miniatu ...

Amer Ind, Inc. proposes to fulfill the requirements of DARPA SB962-058, Synchronous Collaboration Glueware, Tools, and Metrics, with a comprehensive approach that focuses on the implementation of synchronous editing of documents with embedded objects, including multimedia objects by: transparently integrating a file format converter with a server-based document repository; using one of those forma ...

"Satellite communications has advanced remarkably and applications are now expanding rapidly, particularly in the use of very small aperture terminals (VSATs). In many instances, military forces are required to establish and maintain communications viaSATCOM (using VSATs) while stationed temporarily on Navy ships. Applied EM, Inc. (AEM) proposes to design and develop a Tactical Antenna Switching a ...

"Argon Engineering proposes to design a family of low probability of intercept/detection (LPI/LPD) data links capable of conveying analog (voice) and data (video and sensor data) in line-of-site (LOS) and over the horizon (OTH) modes for Special OperatingForces (SOF) tactical users using Joint Threat Warning System (JTWS) radios.Argon Engineering intends to research and design novel software defin ...
