The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to improve the clinical outcomes and quality of life for patients suffering from complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI). Today, cUTIs account for 400,000 hospitalizations annually in the United States. Unfortunately, multidrug resistant pathogens are a common cause of cUTI. Many are r ...

Earth Observant Inc.’s (EOI’s) Direct to Phase II work will further the development of their Low Flying Bus (LFB) by incorporating the DoD’s desire for near real-time transmission of satellite optical imagery to the warfighter. To accomplish this, EOI will analyze the entire imagery chain to ensure the best possible outcome for the warfighter. The payload will be designed and prototyped with ...

Earth Observant Inc.’s (EOI’s) Direct to Phase II work will further the development of their HET-X Hall Effect Thruster (HET) by incorporating the DoD’s desire for the use of molecular propellants in Electric Propulsion (EP) to enable multi-mode missions and to increase space asset resiliency. HETs operating directly on molecular propellants is rather novel, with little published information ...

ABSTRACT:nou Systems proposes an innovative analysis and test methodology for testing space-based high-resolution wide field-of-view (WFOV) focal plane arrays (FPAs). Current space sensor test facilities are incapable of fully testing state-of-the-art high-resolution WFOV sensors without infrastructure modifications. The test methodology described in this proposal focuses on testing only a subset ...

nou Systems, Inc. (nSI) and Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSI) propose an innovative approach for coordinating disparate missile defense assets to reduce system-level degradation due to challenging environments. Stressing scenes can cause sensors to become overwhelmed with detections, experience track churning, and fail to report a consistent set of firm tracks; overall system effectiveness ...

nou Systems, Inc. proposes the Contextual In-line Signature Injection (CISI) technique, an innovative and flexible software toolset for exploring the contextual requirements for signature fidelity based on missile defense functionality and sensor configurations, in response to the Missile Defense Agencys (MDA) SBIR Phase I Solicitation, Inline Threat Generation for Modeling and Simulation.The prop ...

nou Systems, Inc. (nSI) proposes a Streamlined Scenario Integration Software Toolset (aSSIST), an innovative set of software solutions that will streamline and facilitate the coordination of scenario designs and generation for the HWIL and Digital test venues, in response to the Missile Defense Agencys (MDA) SBIR Phase I Solicitation, Innovative Ways to Streamline Scenario Generation Across a Syst ...

nou Systems, Inc. (nSI) proposes the analysis and design of aft facing spectrometer concepts that will be incorporated on future flight tests to observe the chemical species in the plume and wake region of the flow field. The overreaching objective of this proposal is to collect data to improve the current wake/plume models and expand our knowledge of the wake/plume species and the underlying chem ...

nou Systems (nSI) proposes the Sub-scale Low Observable Fly Along Sensor Package (SOLO FASP), a low Radar Cross Section (RCS), low Infrared (IR) signature, sensor platform for use in BMDS flight tests. SOLO FASP will utilize open architecture components for integration of multiple sensor packages within the same form factor, software defined radio for telemetry, reaction wheels for pointing, and s ...

The proposed concept for Context-Oriented In-Line Stimulation (COILS) uses fundamental mission conditions, system design parameters and operational configurations to provide context for rendering of simulated missiles. The Phase 1 effort demonstrated novel Radar Cross Section (RCS) statistical representations and the potential for fully automated, coherent point scatterer representations, which co ...
