Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is a widely used forensic technique to study post-nuclear debris fields, radiation-induced damage in solids and many other phenomena surrounding the interaction of radioactivity with solid matter. ESR spectroscopy is also used to analyze dust, smoke and other gaseous samples. Our Micro-ESR technology has the benefit of being an extremely robust, lightweig ...

This program develops innovative technology for chip-to-chip and intra-chip interconnects that will operate in extreme radiation environments.There is considerable development in chip-to-chip and intra-chip interconnects in the commercial market.This program will leverage these advancements and demonstrate their applicability to satellite and unmanned avionic vehicles (UAV) platforms.

EP Analytics Inc. will develop and commercialize a suite of easy-to-use performance profiling and prediction tools for characterizing the performance and energy efficiency of High Fidelity computer codes.DTRA uses High Fidelity codes to investigate weapon effects phenomenology and techniques for countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).End-to-end High Fidelity simulations in support of the DTR ...

The fundamental problem addressed by this SBIR proposal is the capability to uncover new entity types, relations and topics that are implicit in text documents.Joint inference offers an opportunity to make discoveries that are more accurate and more nuanced than traditional pipelined approaches, but the hypothesis space is more complex and extraordinarily large.In this project we propose to develo ...

To address the DTRA need to enhance island-mode tactics for defense critical infrastructure (DCI) in the event of commercial power grid loss disruption due to an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) or high power microwaves (HPMs), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop an Optimizing power Availability and Sustainability in Islanded Sites (OASIS) strategy based on islanded power management, ...

Rock West Solutions' Phase 1 objective is to design, model, and report performance on a radiation spectrometer for use in drive by, low signal count, applications.We will design a custom sensor for DTRA's unique mission and apply our Sparse Signature Identification algorithm to provide isotope identification with confidence assessment for DTRA's mission.

To address the OSDs need for a network defense technology based upon dynamic adaptation of a network or an intruders perception of it, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes a new Fast Network Information Scrambling Technology (FIST). FIST is based on an innovative low-complexity network information scrambler algorithm implemented on low-cost small-scale commercial off-the-shelf hardware compo ...

Abstract

The modern warfighter faces the constant threat of endemic infections, multi-drug resistant bacteria and Biological Warfare Agents. In order to provide accurate front-line treatment that will curtail the overuse of antibiotics, a rapid and robust molecula

The final product will include a suite of three app-based puzzle games aligned to national math standards for number sense, algebraic thinking, and problem solving. The games will be designed for use in grade 5 and 6 classrooms where students develop and apply content expertise to solving challenges. The games will include an adaptive engine that assesses and adjusts content based on student level ...
