Triton Systems Inc. will develop a modular and easily installed impact protection system for small unmanned aerial systems (SUAS), comprising a lattice array of pultruded S-2 Glass composite rods affixed to the SUAS body through socket retainers bonded to the SUAS.The rods will be formed into a cage providing sufficient stiffness and standoff to prevent damage to the SUAS under anticipated impact ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) will develop an innovative universal crash protection system for use with the Armys growing range of multi-rotor SUAS.PSIs configuration will allow for rigid attachment to the central body of the SUAS and provides a collapsible structure capable of withstanding obstacle collisions at speeds up to 10 knots.It will be constructed from high strength-to-weight ratio materi ...

Existing technical capabilities for enhanced situational awareness (SA), such as personnel carried small unmanned air systems (UAS), come with significant costs: 1) teleoperation takes at least one rifle out of the fight and trades increased, persistent long-range SA for decreased short-range SA and decreased mobility; 2) the ground infrastructure required to operate a UAS is often significantly l ...

Metamagnetics proposes the development and refinement of a Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE) growth process for epitaxial quality, thick films of Yittrium Iron Garnet (YIG). YIG is a magnetic material with unique magnetic properties that enable several new classes of spin-based microwave magnetic devices such as the Frequency Selective Limiter (FSL), and Signal to Noise Enhancer (SNE). This advanced tech ...

Triton Systems will apply our novel material design, mechanism and trainer simulator expertise to develop a new realistic reusable blank alternative for small arms live training. Our approach is focused on the development of a robust realistic recoil, report, muzzle-flash and ammo-management simulator that integrates to existing weapons without modification. The Triton reusable advanced small arms ...

Existing methods for human and vehicle thermal signature prediction are computationally demanding or inaccurate, and therefore ill-suited for multi-condition parametric analysis, trade-space exploration, and design optimization of military ground vehicles. The proposed effort aims to develop an innovative Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Model Order Reduction (MOR) based computational tool f ...

The modern networked battlefield is a contested environment fought with the use of encryption and digital attacks. As such, heavy advantage is provided to the side with the most robust encryption technologies as well as knowledge of the fundamental limitations of those, and competing technologies. Modern encryption protocols are constructed around a kernel of random numbers. Generation of these ra ...

Exact solvable chaotic oscillators with corresponding matched filters have recently been demonstrated for applications such as wireless communications and radar. This technology offers the possibility of complex waveform generation with relatively simple low-cost analog circuitry. To fully take advantage of this technology, much higher operating frequencies are required of the chaotic oscillators. ...

Triton Systems, developer of field-deployed military cold-chain technologies, proposes to create a system for just-in-time delivery of whole blood by UAV. Triton has partnered with industry leaders to create a system that can deliver whole blood in the field using UAS.

Based on our MEMS fabrication and optical system production experience, Photonwares proposes to realize a novel beam scanner that holds the promise of meeting all the program required performance.The proposed scanner is based on the same mechanism as the conventional back and forth moving magnet galvanometer, but with an entirely new planar configuration.Its rotating rotor is made of a low mass si ...
