AcuSoft proposes to research and develop a Synthetic Environment RTI (SE-RTI). The SEDRIS initiative has established a new programming paradigm that provides lossless transmission of synthetic environment objects. The HLA has been designed to support interoperability and reuse of DoD simulations, and SEDRIS is a major component of HLA. Currently, the SEDRIS data model, APIs and format are prima ...

AcuSoft proposes to research and develop a database conversion tool based on the Synthetic Environment Data Representation and Interchange Specification (SEDRIS) to maximize the reusability and interchangeability of existing and future USSOCOM database. In the proposed PHASE I effort, we will investigate SEDRIS technology and develop a functioning prototype tools to demonstrate the ability to imp ...

A novel beamforming network is proposed to electronically scan two independent beams in a conformal phase array. The beamformer utilizes ferroelectric materials in the RF distribution network to control the amplitudes and phases of the array element excitations. One beamformer board is required for each beam and four low power DC voltages per beamformer are needed to achieve total hemispherical ...

Big Light Technology, Inc. proposes to develop a light weight, comfortable, flexible, form fitting instrumented garment. The instrumented garment will be capable of monitoring the skin temperature at multiple localized torso locations using fiber-optic sensors incorporated on a single optical fiber. The sensors are passive and will therefore require no external power. The method for monitoring ...

This SBIR Phase I project has for a goal the development of a solid-state polymer electrolyte for use in lithium-ion batteries via enzyme-catalyzed polymerization of monomers substituted with long ether segments. The high content of ether segments such as poly (ethylene oxide) or poly(ethylene glycol) is expected to yield high ionic conductivities when combined with the proper lithium salt. The ...

USSOCOM is in need of sensors and imaging capabilities that are all weather and have no detectable signature. These systems must be low cost, compact and flexible in applications. Passive millimeter wave sensor technology is an emerging technology that promises to fulfill those needs. The objective of the program is to demonstrate the applicability of this technology to USSOCOM requirements. T ...

The placement of hyperspectral sensors on future Unmanned Air Vehicles is constrained by a data bottleneck caused by the limited downlink bandwidth. This proposal addresses this problem by developing a lossless compression algorithm that is optimized for hyperspectral imagery. Hyperspectral imagers generate 3-D data whose two axes correspond to spatial directions and the third to spectral respon ...

This program is designed to establish the feasibility of developing a directly transfusable cryopreserved Red Blood cell (RBC) product. The approach of Lifecell's program is to utilize oxidative control and specific biocompatible water-structuring molecules to induce the formulation of non-damaging vitreous ice when frozen. These concepts will reduce the requirement for non-specific cryoprotec ...

Mainstream has demonstrated the effectiveness of a new family of metal alloy powders (patent-pending) in immobilizing chemicals such as halocarbons, alkenes, and H and G CWA simulants. These materials must now be feasibility tested in complete product formulations. There is also the potential for unexpected synergisms of these compounds with the other skin cream ingredients. A considerable amou ...
