A Phase II SBIR proposal is presented that describes the development and delivery of a body-worn antenna system to support the single-feed multi-band Rifleman Radio. The antenna system will be integrated into or onto current body armor and will provide nominally omnidirectional coverage for all warfighter positions from standing to prone. Key challenges that will be addressed include: the limited ...

In this Phase II program Mayflower Communications Company, Inc. (Mayflower) proposes to address the extreme size, weight and power and cost (SWAP-C) constraints of HMS Manpack and handheld radio users (such as Rifleman) that demand technological innovations in GPS receiver user equipment to address this need/technology gap. Currently, the JTRS HMS program office is using a commercial C/A code base ...

The Navy is seeking a self-deployable, compact, energy harvesting system capable of extracting hydrodynamic flow energy from the littorals, surf zones, and rivers for unmanned system propulsion or for sensor operations. The system should be easily integratable as a module to a number of existing underwater deployed sensors and unmanned underwater vehicles. Bodkin Design & Engineering, LLC (Newto ...

The goal of this project is the discrimination, classification and identification of submerged objects of interest in unfriendly or hostile environments. Our approach to discrimination of targets from clutter and decoys is based on estimating their material invariant reflectivity kernels. We have developed processing algorithms and demonstrated the discrimination of materials from SONAR returns un ...
