Having successfully validated our superhydrophobic, self-cleaning, wear and rust resistant laser based surface process in the Phase 1 project period, we at AlchLight propose to scale this technology to industry relevant levels by once again working with members of the University of Rochester's High Intensity Laser Lab. To achieve this goal, we will develop the world’s first superhydrophobic micr ...

ATC-NY is developing TELTAN (TELemedicine over a TActical Network), an Android and Windows software application for Virtual Interactive Presence and Augmented Reality (VIPAR). VIPAR shows great potential for making remote medical expertise available in th

A system to covertly communicate in underwater acoustic shallow water environment for Naval applications is described. Techniques for clandescent and directional communication are evaluated. Broadband underwater communications are developed.

In the U.S., >400,000 cartilage-related procedures are performed yearly. Cartilage lesions, left untreated, can progress to joint degeneration and osteoarthritis (OA). OA affects 20% of Americans with resulting costs surpassing the $130 billion per year. Among active military service members, OA is a leading cause of disability. Durable treatments that are suitable for point-of-care application ar ...

BH Technology proposes a Form, Fit, and Function end-to-end upgrade replacement to the current DESI system. Our system uses novel technology and updated enhancements that eliminate current system obsolescence, end of life, and performance issues while reducing total cost of ownership of the system over its expected lifetime. The proposed technology, components, and designs used in our proposed DES ...

Superconductor analog-to-digital converters (ADC) offer discriminating advantages in both bandwidth and fidelity due to very high sampling rates and quantum-accurate digitization based on counting of magnetic flux quanta. Multiple digital-RF receiver systems incorporating superconductor ADCs have been in operation for over four years in field-ready configurations at Government laboratories. We pro ...

W5's N171-098 SBIR effort is to ensure information dominance by providing our warfighters with fast and reliable communication links ANYWHERE in the world. To achieve this goal, W5 has proposed augmenting the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) coverage with MUOS call processing payloads in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). This is made possible by miniaturizing W5's Mighty MUOOS, the worlds first and only M ...

This Phase II effort continues development of Volume Independent Analytics for Discovery of Unseen Correlations via Tensors (VIADUCT). VIADUCT leverages recent advances in tensor decompositions as a form of unsupervised discovery and the proliferation of open source Big Data tools to address the lack of advanced analytics available to Air Force Activity Based Intelligence (ABI) analysts. This effo ...

The Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) is designed to replace UHF SATCOM with enhanced capacity and performance, modern crypto and modern protocols. The MUOS waveform is being ported to a number of software defined radios (SDRs) that will soon be fielded and capable of utilizing the MUOS network of geosynchronous satellites and ground transport. Once these radios are in place, the process of movi ...

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) can provide electronic system designs with a high degree of relatively inexpensive customization. Unfortunately, the fabrication facilities are located in untrusted facilities. This prevents their use in applications requiring a high degree of safety or security. Hidden functionality could potentially be inserted during manufacture. These Trojans can be used ...
