Historically, directed energy (DE) laser weapon systems have been bulky systems, such as the Mobile Tactical High-Energy Laser which occupied space equivalent to several city buses. Many of these early laser weapon systems had bulky chemical laser sources. However, as laser technology advances with the introduction of solid state lasers and optical fiber lasers, the source component of the laser s ...

As switching components become more capable and more power dense, the size and weight of military power electronics becomes dictated by the size, weight and cooling of passive magnetic components EMI filters and heat transfer solutions. Espey Mfg. & Electronics proposes a novel approach to a tactically deployable 30KW 600VDC to 208VAC 3-Phase Bidirectional Inverter using wide band gap technology a ...

In this proposal, we will further the development of a tetravalent live-attenuated Dengue Virus (DENV) vaccine capable meeting the needs of the deploying warfighter, including durable/broad immunity against ALL four serotypes. The Armed Forces Medical Intelligence has ranked DENV as the third most significant natural infectious threat behind only malaria and bacterial diarrhea to our deploying tro ...

The purpose of this SBIR project is to further improve a newly developed rotorcraft acoustic solver to treat long distance propagation through general, realistic environments. This unique method, which utilizes non-dissipative and non-dispersive form of the wave equation, has so far demonstrated abilities to capture the dominant physical acoustics mechanisms for long range sound propagation, inclu ...

This SBIR consists of the development of a dual-frequency-band imaging radar operating at Ka-band and L-band with ground moving target indicator (GMTI) and VideoSAR capabilities for use on small manned and unmanned aircraft. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions will benefit from the flexible multi-band SAR that will handle several missions with significantly reduced size, ...

Black River Systems Company is pleased to submit this Phase II SBIR proposal to design, develop and demonstrate our REcognition with Aerial Learning (REAL) system. This work lays the foundation for a learning-based radio frequency (RF) unmanned aerial system (UAS) signal classifier which can address specific challenges in existing expert-driven detectors and has sufficiently low size, weight, and ...

This project will provide state-of-the-art predictive capabilities for simulating systems central to advancing the U.S. Army’s modernization priorities related to long-range precision fires and future vertical lift platforms. The goals of the project are to: (1) Produce geometry and meshing technologies that support the modeling and discretization techniques needed to explicitly track evolving/i ...

B3 proposes to develop and build a prototype sensor that can be used to track individual BOP exposure from artillery. The technical objectives will be accomplished over a two-year period of performance (PoP), which include the base (Year 1) and option period (Year 2). The base will result in an alpha prototype, of which five (5) sets will be delivered to PEO Ammo. The alpha will be tested using B3 ...

Black River Systems, teamed with SRC Inc., proposes the “REcognition with Aerial Learning” (REAL) approach which will address the challenge of targeting through novel integration of adaptable learning approaches on UAS. This approach will support a wide problem (i.e. mission, environment, application) and solution (i.e. sensing modalities, learning/training, taxonomy representation, autonomy) ...

The purpose of this project is to: (a) conduct targeted research to document the scientific basis for mitigating EMI/EMP hazards to important engineering systems; and (b) create an engineering toolkit and develop a methodology to deploy the needed solutions. The methodology to be created will identify and prioritize vulnerabilities of electronic components sensitive to EMI/EMP. Emphasis is placed ...
