To address the USSOCOM need for man-portable advanced tactical facial recognition technologies at ranges of 650 m to 1 km, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Facial Recognition at Long Distance (FAREL) system based on an innovative combination of technologies that include lucky imaging and a customized deep convolutional neural network (CNN) method. Specifically, the innov ...

Toyon Research Corp. proposes a feasibility study in preparation for development of an innovative intelligence repository which extends and scales current database capabilities to the paradigm of wide-area, multi-modal, millimeter-accuracy reconnaissance. The envisioned software architecture is based on a fusion of traditional key-based indexing with both geographic and content-based indexing sche ...

The U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) trains, equips and deploys Special Operations Forces (SOF) to worldwide locations to advance the nation's interests. The reality of worldwide operations requires a worldwide intelligence gathering and analysis capability, a processing capability and a way to disseminate actionable intelligence to operational units. Our solution will directly supp ...

To address the USSOCOM need for a color night-vision sensor, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Integrated Color Night-Vision Camera (ICONIC), based on novel integration of the color night-vision sensor with the compact long effective focal length (CLOFL) lens system in a rugged packaging. The innovation in the proposed color night-vision sensor with the innovative CLOFL o ...

Ziva Corporation propose a powerful approach called Color Airborne Night Vision Sensor (CANVAS) to achieve true color imaging performance from avionic platforms in both night and day conditions from a single sensor system offer a significant boost in interpretability for military operations. The CANVAS approach combines an ultra-high sensitivity Commercial Off the shelf CMOS camera with a customi ...

The United States Special Operations Commands (USSOCOM) demands a color night vision system (CNVS) that combines low-light visual acuity with true-color imagery. A true-color night vision sensor would enable better exploitation of the human visual perceptive system allowing for more robust target detection, identification, and recognition. Current night vision systems offer only monochrome imagery ...

Baker Engineering Inc. (BEI) proposes the exploration of advanced material technologies to improve Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) engine durability, thermal and wear resistance, and strength within critical internal engine components. Specifically during the Phase I effort, BEI will research the use of advanced materials and coatings on static engine components including cylinders, blocks and crank ...

The proposed concept is a software utility tool that resides on each of the client and server. The coordinating apps implement a delta transfer protocol, plus multiplexing data transfers over multiple network paths. It is a concept and tool for a system for prepositioning and synchronizing data between file systems deployed across austere environments and for commercial or private cloud enterprise ...

Blood loss due to severe hemorrhaging is the leading cause of preventable combat death. Fresh frozen human plasma is commonly used to stabilize the wounded soldiers, but it is heavy, has a limited shelf life, and requires frozen storage. Currently, dried human plasma is being evaluated by the FDA, and has been used in several countries for some time. In addition to soldiers, several hundred wa ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project aims to undertake feasibility study of design and fabrication a full-color, transparent, emissive display technology with pixel-pitch of 20m (or smaller), and an area which exceeds the image intensifiers 18mm circular effective area for use in a multi-imaging plane system. This includes identifying the technology utilized; detailing the techn ...
