Over the past twenty years, substantial metamaterials development has taken place. However, most of these developments are best suited for air where the mechanical difference between medium and solid is large. MSI proposes to develop a subwavelength acoustic resonator for use in undersea applications.

By virtue of a Phase I Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract, Code 13 Security (doing business as Dark Sky Technology) has developed a Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 5 technology to translate type-unsafe source and binary software into the type-safe language Rust. The design of this system is innovative in its use of machine learning ...

The military is interested in new CO2 scrubber materials for diving closed-circuit rebreathers. In particular, it is desired to replace the existing usage of loosely packed soda lime or soda lime cartridges with a new material enabling it to be regenerated for subsequent diving operations. Furthermore, higher CO2 adsorption is needed than the conventional soda lime materials to enable longer dive ...

The military is interested in new high density handheld radio batteries to meet evolving radio systems that require additional power. In particular, it is desired to produce a battery that has a capacity greater than 500 W-hr/kg delivering 12 volts and 16 amp-hours in a package weighing less than 0.84 pounds. This battery shall also maintain greater than 70% of its nominal capacity after 300 full ...

Organophosphorus nerve agents are extremely toxic, and even small amounts can be rapidly fatal. Due to the manner in which nerve agents are used, the DOD must be prepared to respond to poisonings of multiple individuals at once. The current standard of care is to first deliver a drug cocktail of three compounds: atropine sulfate, 2-pyridine aldoxime chloride (2-PAM), and an anticonvulsant (typical ...

To increase the energy capacity, reduce the weight, improve the cyclic lifetime, and shorten the recharging time for batteries for use in future handheld radio applications, we need advanced energy storage technologies that perform better than current Li-ion batteries. TDA proposes to develop batteries based on Lithium-ion/Sulfur (Li-S) battery chemistry. To increase the energy density, rate capab ...

The proposed solution takes the form of an automated toolkit that uses side-channel measurements to drive an AI/ML pipeline that has been designed to characterize heterogeneous integrated circuits (HICs). The solution does not require a golden value for the design-under test to enable component-level characterization. It operates on fully packaged chips in an automated fashion.

BlueRISC’s proposed Maritime Sensor Data System (MSDS) solution provides an innovative approach to enabling the collection and storage of sensor data as well as synthesis of analytics. The solution is built on a low-cost hardware platform equipped with software to access a scalable and secure cloud architecture maintaining this information, as well as a cloud-based analytics platform.

The DoD can maximize their strategic advantage by increasing the scale of collective problem solving to exceed current individual and team limits. Though promising results have been demonstrated for foundational technologies such as Artificial Social Intelligence (ASI), additional technology advances are required to develop more generalized frameworks and cross domain collective problem-solving su ...

Charles River Analytics and PatchPlus Consulting are pleased to propose Cerulean FNX, a modular software platform that extends Charles River’s Cerulean transaction analysis framework to the financial intelligence domain. Cerulean FNX is centered around a modular and pluggable network analytics engine containing state/of/the/art financial graph and time series analytics, a modular coordinated vis ...
