Highly maneuverable hypersonic vehicles pose an emerging threat which require that we revisit the kill mechanisms employed to defeat them. In Phase I, SwRI and Anyar will consider a trade space study that examines the potential for including blast/fragmentation warhead systems to increase the volume of space available to impart lethal effects. Anyar’s overarching objectives are defined in the co ...

This SBIR Phase I project aims to create an emotionally expressive software-based speech-generating communication system, which is designed for individuals with little or no verbal communication ability -- particularly those with autism spectrum disorder. Current alternative communication technology does not offer the ability to express emotional content: something that is crucial to effective, co ...

The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be the creation of a tool for caregivers and educators of children with speech impairments, particularly those with autism spectrum disorder. L

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental communication disorder resulting in functional language and behavioral delays affecting over 3.5 million Americans. These delays vary with the severity of symptoms that present in ASD but often result in limited speech and increased communication challenges. Alongside linguistic acquisition, oral motor coordination is a crucial part of speech ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will improve treatment for children with communication impairments. The project will develop a system that provides specialists and parents with reports that have accurate, efficient, and easy-to-understand speech and language evaluations with recommendations and suggestions, for better understanding the children ...

ABSTRACT: This SBIR pursues and identifies approaches to achieving postern (rear-looking) sense and avoid (SAA) for remotely piloted aircraft (RPA). After idenfiying and assessing the approaches, this effort develops the most promising and commercially viable candidate. The effort concludes with a demonstration of performance and capability in a relevant environment. BENEFIT: This techno ...
