The Navy’s Fleet-Class Common Unmanned Surface Vessel (CUSV) demands associated subsystems function with robust reliability and minimal operator intervention in order to operate at peak effectiveness. Mine Warfare’s (MIW) inherently hazardous nature requires particular focus on reducing manning requirements and simplifying operator machine interface (OMI) in order to minimize danger to personn ...

Improved long-range detection, tracking, and discrimination of targets is needed from missiles while in flight. The operational significance in developing this capability is to greatly improve the probability of successful target intercept – providing better target detection, tracking and false-target discrimination than is possible with the currently existing, or even moderately upgraded, on-bo ...

ABSTRACT Significance: There are over 5 million people with insulin-treated diabetes in the United States who represent a disproportionately large share of the $237B in direct medical costs attributable to diabetes. The use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has been shown to reduce HbA1c levels, a proven predictor of health outcomes within this population, with the greatest improvement achiev ...

Over many data collection campaigns, a large number of propulsion related signature events have been observed across an extended range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The current suite of plume modeling tools contains the basic framework for flowfield and signature generation, but lacks the underlying physical mechanisms and supporting property databases to properly account for alternate waveband ...

To address the DARPAs need for a night, all-condition viewable compact lightweight broadband heads-up night vision system, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to continue development of a new Night-Vision Ultra-Compact Glass-Like All-Condition Sensor-Fused See-through (NUGLASS)-HUD system based on unique integration of POC technologies: head-mounted single-lens wide field-of-view (FOV) mult ...

The rapidly emerging capabilities of hypersonic-velocity weapons from many different countries require the acceleration of technologies that can maintain the United States’ role of military dominance both at home and abroad. Critical technologies are needed to ensure the operation of our intercepting airframe, seeker and seeker window(s) remains nominal. Acting against the desired performance in ...

ABSTRACT: The technical objective of this Phase II SBIR is to develop and test a 4-meter class inflatable Satellite Communications(SATCOM) antenna terminal in Ku-band. This effort will focus on maturing the component technologies involved with radome material selection, Ku-band RF feed and feed mount design, and development of mechanical/electrical interfaces for pointing and steering, and to tr ...
