"This Phase I SBIR Project will develop a complete set of guiding documents which shall constitue a roadmap for implementing and deploying the Worldwide C4I for Special Operations Forces Combatant Craft solution. The documentation set will include analysisand results for algorithms in the areas of data compression, and encryption schemes. The document set shall contain the following: Concept of ...

"Special Operations Command wants to employ innovative, secure systems to enable real time communications with Special Forces Operations Combatant Craft deployed anywhere in the world. Communication structure must have sufficient bandwidth to enablecommand structure decision making, to monitor craft and personnel status, and to enable real-time failure analysis and in some cases, correction of de ...

The Special Operations Forces require the compact capability to rapidly and safely scan an enclosed space and assess the presence of drugs, explosive, or other chemicals in order to support quickly search a room for potential evidence and reduce hostile risks.Pendar is proposing to develop for the current program a handheld standoff chemical detector with a capability for 2-m standoff chemical ana ...

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.

Radio Frequency (RF) Fingerprinting is an important capability for the warfighter to identify threats and protect against malicious attacks on the RF spectrum. Most RF Fingerprinting techniques work by identifying small variations in a transmitted signal that are introduced by hardware components (capacitors, inductors, etc) of the transmitter within the non-linear regions of operation. Neural Net ...

Situational awareness and understanding the battlespace is a fundamental enabler across all tactical systems. To this end, ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC will design, develop and prototype first of its kind small form-fit, multi-task Machine Learning (ML) based fingerprinting device – DeepeRFind: Sensitivity Enhancing Radio Frequency Fingerprinting Technique using Deep Learning – which per ...

The Whisper Next Gen WiGig project plans to evaluate optimization opportunities within the IEEE WiGig (60 GHz) standard for use cases as a potential low size, weight, and power tactical ultra-secure communications capability for Special Operations Command (SOCOM). It has the potential to be a highly secure, covert and reliable data transmission link for soldiers or indigenous allies in hostile env ...

Asymmetric proposes to develop software and firmware to optimize data exfil throughout Whisper devices. This includes making the Whisper system have additional, tuneable capabilities to increase LPI/LPD characteristics. The current methods utilized by Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel to maintain secure, covert and reliable data transmission in hostile environments is difficult and mission ...

Current concepts of holographic and dye technology do not provide eye protection from lasers at unknown wavelength and in the spectral region from 400 - 900 nm. Recently it has been shown that fullerenes have excellent nonlinear optical properties and show the best limiting performance of all materials including response in the nanosecond range. This program will further investigate fullerenes ...

Current technologies for eye protection address fixed wavelength threats as well as agile laser threats. Fixed wavelength solutions have advanced to the point where military eyewear with multiple protection (seven wavelength protection) is being implemented. Agile solutions are less developed, a major obstacle being the difficulty in obtaining the concurrent characteristics of safety blockage (re ...
