The proposed SBIR program will accelerate the commercialization of multiplexed optical fiber networks and their use in both DoD and commercial systems. F&S (Fiber & Sensor Technologies, Inc.) proposes to implement all-optical low-loss switches for signal multiplexing in large networks. This new approach to multiplexing is based on the development of optically-activated in-line switches to automa ...

The proposed SBIR program would accelerate the commercialization of low-cost miniaturized bioanalysis instrumentation and its use in both DoD and commercial systems. F&S (Fiber and Sensor Technologies, Inc.) proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of integrating mechanically-active polymer microcomposites with evanescent field grating-based optical sensor elements to store, pump and analyze mole ...

This DARPA SBIR Phase I project will demonstrate the feasibility of revolutionary ionic self-assembly methods of creating electric field-tunable thin-film electronic materials and devices. Exciting recent work at F&S and Virginia Tech has shown that the ionic nature of the self-assembly process inherently results in the spontaneous regular geometric ordering of noncentrosymmetric dipole molecules. ...

The proof of concept research explores the potential for integrating the following four 'personal devices's () baseline IFF personal device () data applique interface to field processors () audio applique interface to voice headset or audio monitor () video applique interface to camera and display into a single, wearable non-line of sight spread spectrum IFF, tracking and duplex multimedia com ...

IT IS PROPOSED HERE TO DEVELOP A METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF TRANSITION ON NASP (NATIONAL AERO-SPACE PLANE) CONFIGURATION AND FOR THE CONTROL/ENHANCEMENT OF SUPERSONIC COMBUSTION IN THE SCRAMJET. THE METHOD IS BASED UPON LINEAR STABILITY ANALYSIS WITH NONEEQUILIBRIUM EFFECTS WHICH TYPIFY THE BOUNDARY LAYERS ON NASP AIRFRAME AND THE MIXING LAYER IN THE SCRAMJET. THESE THREE-DIMENSIONAL VISCOUS LAYERS, ...

This project is dedicated to the development of an adaptive network security management tool that is analogous to implementing and incident/response paring mechanism on top of a universal remote control facility for a variety of network and security tools, network types and operating systems. Our proposed approach to accomplishing this is to integrate and agent architecture with a Case-Based Reas ...

DARPA has identified collaborative computing as a technology not yet adequately developed in the marketplace. This need to share and interactively work with documents and other information objects across separate computer systems is really the underlying human business need that originally drove the creation of network technology, desktop video-teleconferencing, and even the failed earlier indust ...

This SBIR will explore and develop new automated methods for dynamic fault tolerance in defense electronic systems. The research will investigate using the software of digital signal processor operating systems to pro-actively map defective operations to remaining processors. In the past, fault tolerance has relied on passive redundancy to extend operating life. With software, a simple re-start ...
