Due to the rapid advancement of automation level for Navy’s vessels and the staggering data volume generated by advanced sensors/instrumentations, the U.S. Navy is seeking advanced data compression algorithm and bandwidth utilization mechanism that will enable very large amounts of data to be transmitted in bandwidth-limited scenarios from ship to shore. In order to meet the Navy’s design requ ...

Broadata Communications, Inc. (BCI) proposes an Advanced Lossless Inter-Channel Data Compression with Enhanced TCP/IP (ADET) capability, based on our extensive experience in data processing, compression, and bandwidth efficient transmissions. The proposed ADET efficiently integrates our two novel innovationshighly efficient lossless inter-channel compression and bandwidth efficient TCP/IPinto an o ...

Infrared photodetectors operating in the wavelength range of 3-20 mm and beyond are of great importance to a wide variety of ongoing and future NASA missions, as well as many commercial and military applications in infrared (IR) imaging and sensing. Hence, there is a constant pursuit of advances in detector technologies and enabling technologies related to increasing detector performance. In recen ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) will develop a capability to detect chemical contamination on terrain, roads, airfields, buildings, and military equipment that threatens soldier safety or limits the tempo of military operations. This effort will continue maturation of a Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) Spatial Heterodyne Spectrometer (SHS), an LWIR illuminator, and an automated detection algorithm for the n ...

The Navy is seeking the new index matching materials which can significantly improve the shelf life performance of mechanical splices based on light cured index matching materials. Agiltron proposes to develop advanced fluorinated polyurethane acrylate (F-PUA) based UV curable refractive index matching materials with long shelf life, low-optical loss, and wide operating temperature. The proposed F ...

Flight-testing is a crucial component in NASA's mission to research and develop of new aeronautical concepts, allowing for verification of simulated and wind-tunnel results, and exposing previously unforeseen design problems. Video is an invaluable tool for flight-testing, allowing the collection of a wealth of information; however, collected long-range imagery typically suffers from scintill ...

Flight-testing is a crucial component in NASA's mission to research and develop new aeronautical concepts because it allows for verification of simulated and wind-tunnel experiments and exposes previously unforeseen design problems. Video is an invaluable tool for flight-testing, allowing the collection of a wealth of information such as craft position, speed, health, as well as tracking diff ...

Long-life, high-capacity cryocoolers are a critical need for future space systems utilizing stored cryogens. The cooling requirements for planetary and extraterrestrial exploration missions, Crew Exploration Vehicles, extended-life orbital transfer vehicles, and space depots will range from 10 to 50 W at temperatures between 20 and 120 K. Turbo-Brayton cryocoolers are ideal for these systems bec ...
