TiaLinx’s Proposed Eagle10-W is an ultra-wideband (“UWB”) radio frequency (RF) sensor that uses advanced computer vision algorithms, state-of-the-art computer processor technologies, and has a fully integrated display unit.

Over the last decade there has been increasing advances in image processing applied to binoculars and scopes. For instance, hunting and military scopes can allow the user to designate, track, and provide lock indication on a target. However, with advances in neural networks, and associated processors, there are a wide range of additional capabilities that could be incorporated into these optical s ...

Special Operations Forces (SOF) are an integral aspect of the US military. SOF operators are among the most elite and highly qualified individuals in the U.S. military. As such, extraordinary physical and mental demands are placed upon them to excel in extreme environments for extended periods of time. This unrelenting cycle of combat deployments and intense pre-deployment training shortens the fu ...

During altitude-induced hypoxia, operator cognitive and physical capacity degrades, compromising individual and team performance. Cognitive degradation is linked to falling brain energy levels, increased reliance on anaerobic energy production and lactate accumulation. Ketones are the evolutionary alternative substrate to glucose for brain metabolic requirements; previous studies demonstrated that ...

Rapid sleep schedule shift, such as resulted from travel or work schedules, causes severe disruption in the circadian clocks. Due to the frequent travel and night missions, circadian clock misalignment is a major contributor to the nonrestorative sleep that undermines subsequent performance in SOF operators and other elite soldiers with similarly demanding missions. In the absence of effective sle ...

SOCOM is one of the most vital force projection elements for the Department of Defense. SOCOM’s mission is a lean, agile, and lethal force. While deployed in austere, challenged and contested environments, vigilance of incoming threats from an adversary is highly important and time critical. In addition, the size and nature of the terrain may be significant, and operations may be stealthy or con ...

To address the SOCOM need for developing intuitive, configurable easy-to-use Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) for use by Naval Special Warfare surface combatant craft tactical computer operators, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Integrated Head and Eye Tracker (IHET) system. This proposed IHET solution is based on innovative integration of video-based tracking of the head ...

Phonological awareness, the ability to identify and manipulate sounds in words, is the strongest determinant of future reading ability. The developers have created an interactive phonological audio tool for preschool-aged children to listen to passages and learn and practice the basic sounds that make up words. In this project, they will improve this tool by developing a new prototype software app ...
