Summary Cerebral malaria (CM) is a life-threatening clinical syndrome associated with malarial infection. Annually, malaria affects more than 200 million people and claims the lives of over 440,000 people worldwide, mostly African children. As a consequence of the high incidence of CM, it is often misdiagnosed for other pathologies with similar symptoms, leading to a high false positive rate for C ...

The sequential Phase II effort will combine low-cost, fixed site and mobile RF sensors and a scalable mesh-network C3/data relay capability to develop and demonstrate a scalable common operating picture (COP) that provides assured connectivity and situational awareness (SA) for convoy personnel and threat warning detection and geolocation of commercial drone systems and unauthorized personnel in d ...

Ario platform will allow delivery of tasking and predictive maintenance data through mobile mixed reality devices to the physical aircraft. Ario platform will allow maintenance data to be projected on relevant equipment. Way pointing to data sources will decrease time spent locating proper information. Communication with experts remotely can reduce errors and reduce the need for traveling to physi ...

The purpose of this project is to develop a Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) capability for an ultra long-endurance unmanned aerial system (UAS). STOL capability will allow launch and recovery operations on much shorter runways than currently possible for Group IV sized UAS, which is operationally valuable to end customers. External ground based systems will be used in the STOL operations for lau ...

MZA proposes the development of the Integrated Directed Energy Aero-optical Surrogate (IDEAS) which consists of a 1/4th scale aircraft parent model and a laser pod architecture with modular beam director and supporting flow control configuration for transonic and supersonic aero-effects testing at the AEDC 16T wind tunnel. The laser pod model may be remotely articulated to point in arbitrary direc ...

The sequential Phase II effort will modify, evaluate and demonstrate the performance of innovative continuous High Pulse Repetition Frequency (HPRF) radar waveforms and processing techniques for the airborne detection and geolocation of anti-aircraft rounds and commercial drone threats. Technology Service Corporation (TSC) will perform the effort using analytical methods, modeling and simulation, ...

UAS are poised to play an increasingly prominent role in ISR and targeting applications. The Phase I effort made significant gains in demonstration of long-range computer vision technology; however, challenges remain. ATR technologies are generally limited to labeling target objects in images, one image at a time. Further, algorithm performance can vary significantly over a limited operating envel ...

UAS are poised to play an increasingly prominent role in ISR and targeting applications. In situations where a human cannot be in the loop for every transfer, automatic methods for target handoff are required and must perform reliably. In the Phase I effort, Progeny developed capabilities to detect maritime targets from full-motion imagery at long range. Here, we propose to recognize specific targ ...

This project will focus on developing, constructing, and demonstrating operational readiness of a combined compact Active Headrest(AH) and a lightweight Acoustic Meta Material(AMM) curtain for reducing noisein submarine bunks environments to specified DON sound levels. Both AH and AMM have been developed as products by SMD, team member FTI, and commercialization partner Harman International forhos ...

By the conclusion of Phase 1, important discoveries were made concerning the technological, market, and business feasibility of the Rapid Acquisition Platform. We have concluded that the RAP is feasible and may proceed to product development. In Phase II, GBTI will develop an end-to-end RAP utilizing the scientific and technological discoveries made in Phase 1. Phase 2 will be implemented over the ...
