With this Phase I funding, the project team will develop and test a prototype of D-TECH, a system to determine students' level of academic engagement while completing computer-based learning activities and assessments. The prototype will integrate within existing third party computer-based programs (e.g., online courseware, educational games, simulations, intelligent tutors) and will consist of a ...

We propose to develop NeuroDAS (Neuroscience Data Archiving and Sharing), a validated, supported, and fully documented next-generation management and sharing commercial system for complex neuroscience data. NeuroDAS will allow the implementation of secur...

Creative Microsystems will develop the Modular Vision Processing System (MVPS) for the VAS system of TALOS. CMC will incorporate the system into the bridge of the wide field of view night vision goggles, such as the GPNVG. The system will be based on the Movidius Myriad 2 visual processing unit combined with CMCs techniques to receive and send large amounts of image data over restricted interfaces ...

CMC proposes to develop an image overlay see-through display for a 4-tube night vision goggle system by integrating four of CMCs proprietary Holographic Imageguide Displays (HID) to provide a conformal full field of view (FOV) over a GPNVG.

True Secure SCADAs (TSS) primary technical objective is to develop a set of plans and specifications for building secure software components, in the context of seL4, which can be used to improve the cyber-security of the industrial control systems used in critical infrastructure installations. The resulting plan will identify the modules that are needed for this application and will specify a pla ...

This proposed effort will continue the development, testing, and integration of a general-purpose feature-based navigation system for miniature UUVs that provides a significant reduction in size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements over current navigation systems and methodologies while providing the accuracy and robustness needed for viable underwater operations.This navigation system utilizes ...

Creative MicroSystems (CMC), of Waitsfield, VT, using external and internal funding sources, has been engaged in the design and development of a novel, multi-lens optical low-light imaging system (MOLLI)a revolutionary advance in night vision technology. Based upon a combined biomimetic/computed vision processing approacha significant departure from current night vision technologyCMC is developing ...

Our objective is to develop, demonstrate, and evaluate a prototype feature-based navigation and localization system for miniature Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) that meets the performance requirements for these systems yet provides a drastic reduction in size, weight, power, and cost requirements over current solutions. The proposed method utilizes a micro mechanically scanned imaging sonar ( ...

For Phase 2, Diffraction proposes to develop a small, lightweight, low profile, battery powered multi-spectral combat ID beacon. The beacon will output enough energy in the mid wave infrared (MWIR) bands to be visible to nearly all US and allied targetin

There are many commercially available flexible hoses for use in non-rigid coupling of hydraulic, air, and other piping systems. However, these systems are currently not designed for operating under severe hydrostatic and dynamic pressures experienced by Deep Submergence Systems in their extreme operating environments. The pipes that connect the DDS to the sub are exposed to the water and experien ...
