The game, which is used by children alone or in tandem with a special education practitioner or caregiver, supports children in understanding and expressing musical patterns, and in learning to sing songs before speaking. This project will extend the existing version by developing a prototype that includes additional songs for increased speech-language learning outcomes, an animated onscreen singe ...

Space Micro will develop an innovative payload that can be hosted onboard a nanosatellite/ CubeSat bus, for the advancement of USSOCOM capabilities in rapid intelligence collection, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). This R&D will improve and enhance capabilities in intelligence collection, surveillance, and reconnaissance from new spaceborne platforms.

CubeSats offer substantial reductions in operation and launch costs, while reducing time between request and employment of the capability. To address the USSOCOM needs, SA Photonics proposes an Infra-red Multispectral Imager for CubeSats (IMICS). IMICS collects diffraction-limited hyperspectral earth imagery, allowing identification of personnel, operating vessels / vehicles, structures and terrai ...

Pranalytica will develop and provide an integrated target marker that includes marking capabilities at NIR wavelengths and out-of-band MWIR wavelengths, making it backward compatible with existing earlier generation imagers as well as with the newer imagers that provide critical advantage to warfighters by operating at wavelengths where the adversary is not likely to have access to appropriate ima ...

To address the EPA's need for 3D mapping and radiation data fusion technologies, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Radiation Contamination Visualization and Mapping (RaCOM) System. Key advantages of RaCOM include mapping and visualization of radiation contamination to enable planning of cleanup operations while minimizing exposure to crew and equipment. End users include ...

This project will develop a new type of polymer concrete using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and a proprietarysustainable and biodegradable thermosetting thermoplastic polycarbonate that has the performance properties ofcurrent polymer concrete, but can be melt processed and recycled like asphalt. Consequently it will be morepractical than current polymer concrete in large scale applications l ...

Executive Summary. This project will develop an economical process to convert vegetable oil waste and surplus to lactate salts and oleate-enriched fatty acid blends. The former is an emerging class of antimicrobial agents that is displacing chlorine, bleach, and ammonia from our food supply. The latter are used in biofuels and personal care products. We use a proprietary catalyst that selectively ...

An estimated 75% of litter along the shoreline globally is made of plastic. Plastic particles and debris find their way into oceans, rivers, lakes, sediment, and eventually into our bodies. Over 90% of the plastic contamination in the open ocean is attributed to microplastic particles (MP) - i.e. plastic objects with diameter

Toyon Research Corp. proposes a feasibility study including all promising techniques for enabling SOCOM’s desired Multi-FMV Fusion 3D Capability, which is intended to reduce operator cognitive burden and enhance multi-source surveillance data exploitation. Key topics to consider include multi-platform FMV registration and fusion, 3D model reconstruction, fused video rendering, and artificial int ...

Botts Innovative Research, Inc (Botts, Inc.) proposes to conduct a feasibility study to assess the art of the possible as it relates to the use of the open source, open standards based OpenSensorHub (OSH) (www.OpenSensorHub.org) for the integration between the sensors and robots of Hyper Enabled Operators (HEO), their units, and their mission command, to provide battlespace awareness at the tactic ...
