The Automatic Radio Frequency (RF) Measurement Module (ARMM) supports Specific Emitter Identification/Specific Emitter Verification (SEI/SEV) by providing detailed measurements against collected communication signals. ARMM is an integrated set of digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms that extracts and reports key features against collected signals. A feature analysis capability can then det ...

OLGS is developing an automated tourniquet system. It is an intuitive device that works with the push of a button. The user only needs to know 'high-and-tight' and push the button for the tourniquet to be effective. It contains a band with wires embedded that is tightened by a motor-driven spool. It also contains a micro-controller unit with integrated sensors to ensure limb occlusion pressure is ...

There is a need to develop affordable and specific biosensors to defend against current and future biological threats. Biological methods of detection have been evolved by nature to detect molecules at the micro-scale with flexible specificity and with downstream effectors. Advances in cell-free technology allow for deployment of biosensors on pH-strip-type paper, an affordable, robust, disposable ...

A Battlefield Airman (BA) has one of the most challenging positions in the military. BA personnel are tasked with the dual roles of being warfighters as well as Combat Controllers, Pararescuemen, Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) members and Special Operations Weather Technicians often while behind enemy lines. These complex duties require high fidelity training. In some cases, such as Pararescuem ...

In this Phase II work, the main focus of RF Nano Corporation will be to develop manufacturing technologies for carbon nanotube synthesis. The university partner will fabricate and measure nanotube antennas. A second university partner will simulate nanotube antenna properties.

Carbonics, Inc. is the only small business entity that is razor-focused on developing and commercializing wafers-scale carbon nanotube (CNT) based RF products for mmWave communications that can outperform incumbent semiconductor high frequency technologies (GaAs & RF-CMOS). Our STTR Phase I accomplishments exceeded all expectations, setting a new world record for CNT FET RF technology (fT > 100 GH ...

Vector Atomic and Stanford University will develop precision, ultra-low noise laser control electronics with low cost, size, weight, and power (C-SWaP). The electronics will be designed to broadly support the various laser types of used for quantum technology, which span 369-1550 nm. The C-SWaP and system architecture will support scaling of quantum systems to higher laser counts. The design will ...

This proposal offers a System for improving decisive inferences based on Air Deployable Active Receive (ADAR) sonar, in a form that is suitable for deployment on ADAR sonobuoys. Anticipated near-term improvements include better target recognition and reduced operator fatigue, brought about through improved ping data filtering on ADAR aircraft. Anticipated long-term improvements include increased ...

This effort will analyze publicly available online communication data, uniquely applying empirical results from the cognitive bias literature, to quantify the impact of cognitive biases on exposure to, use of, and propagation of online information. SoarTech, with its partners, will develop and evaluate methods to identify and measure cognitive biases in online information environments. The team wi ...

For effective protection against radiated threats, it is important to understand not only the physics of the threats, but also to quantify the effects they have on mission-critical electrical systems. Radiated vulnerability and susceptibility testing requires delivery of high peak power and peak electric fields to distant targets. The most practical solution to simulate such environments on large ...
