Tau Technologies leads a team with proven experience in applying technology to solve real world challenges. Our program manager was the Principal Investigator at Battelle Memorial Institute on a project that successfully developed and demonstrated a 300-meter range, man-portable facial recognition system for SOCOM. This proposal will incorporate newer technology and algorithms to improve accurac ...

In response to DoD SBIR topic SOCOM17-002 Moisture Wicking Pathway Treatment for Textiles, Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT) proposes to develop an innovative moisture channeling textile which has the ability to control the moisture transportation through certain pathways on the textile. With the unique wettability pattern designs, moisture generated from the skin can travel along the pre- ...

ATA proposes to conduct feasibility studies and develop a CubeSat Laser Communications (CubeSat LaserCom) system that enables high data rate communications from a CubeSat to ground terminals, GEO terminals, and other CubeSats. Our proposed CubeSat LaserCom terminal integrates advanced ATA line-of-sight stabilization, tracking and pointing technologies with space-qualified laser and detector techn ...

When imaging over long distances, atmospheric turbulence between the camera and subject degrades the collected data limiting the effective resolution, regardless of the quality of the optic and sensor used. This reduction in image quality can have serious impacts on the ability to carry out missions by reducing situational awareness and preventing target identification. EM Photonics has been worki ...

This Phase I SBIR proposal aims to develop flexible and maritime compatible radio frequency (RF) materials for microwave absorbing material applications and antenna applications at GHz frequencies. Based on the deep understanding of material physics for high frequency properties, and extensive experience in fabricating and supplying RF materials, Spectrum Magnetics proposes several material platfo ...

Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT) proposes the development of an orientation independent, momentum-driven vortex separator for use with shipboard two-phase thermal management systems. This separator will produce sufficient fluid rotational speed to generate a centrifugal acceleration field within the liquid phase that is orders of magnitude higher than gravitational acceleration. This wi ...

Corrosion resistant coatings which are based on metal-rich primers are of huge interest to Navy and DoD, since they promise an alternative for the chromium coatings which are toxic and carcinogenic. The development of such coatings and their application to DoD assets is currently impacted by the lack of fundamental understanding of these coatings and their protection behavior. Under this SBIR, Ad ...

Nokomis will use its Hiawatha detection system to provide robust and ruggedized identification and tracking capability for water- and air-borne targets of interest. The Hiawatha System utilizes an ultra-sensitive RF sensor to detect, identify, and track electronic targets by monitoring and leveraging their RF emissions including non-intended RF emissions from so-called dark targets. Previous Nokom ...

In this project, Daniel H. Wagner, Associates will reduce clutter in multi-static coherent active sonar by exploiting relationships between sonar detection and image processing to create the Visionary Detection and Clutter Reduction (VDCR) System. We will use Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to replace the parts of a baseline signal processing chain which currently produce excessive clutter while retai ...

This SBIR Phase I project will develop reconfigurable touchscreen buttons using low-cost electroactive polymer actuators that can generate strong, rich, quick and unambiguous haptic feedback to the user.
