The objective of Phase II is to implement and demonstrate the Open source Dynamic terrain API for SAF systems (ODAS) approach proposed, defined, and prototyped in Phase I for interoperability and correlation between dynamic formats and classic static, pre-distributed terrain solutions used by OneSAF. Cogent3D will demonstrate the ODAS API implementation supports multiple terrain services that supp ...

Based on Cascade Designs expertise at developing individual water purification systems for the military and outdoor markets, we are proposing a novel in-line filter design that is based on incorporating multiple water purification technologies contained in a MOLLE compatible filter housing. Our proposed in-line filter will comprise of both size exclusion filtration and adsorptive media. The size e ...

High power fiber lasers have made significant progress in the last several years. Ten kW of diffraction-limited output power at 1 micron from one single mode fiber has been demonstrated. Department of Defense (DoD) needs 100s of kW for missile defense as well as for protection against rockets, artillery, and mortars (RAM). There is serious concern about current 1 micron fiber laser system potentia ...

The DataSoft Network Obfuscation and Virtualized Anti-reconnaissance system (NOVA) detects hostile network reconnaissance and denies access to real network information while simultaneously providing false network information to attackers. This results in attackers expending significantly extra time and effort, allowing defenders additional time to mount an appropriate response. NOVA is a novel dis ...

In Phase-I of the project we constructed a unique ROIC design based on our Amplifier-Shared-Dual-Band CTIA (ASDBC) technology to address the problems experienced by the existing ROICs. In Phase-II, we will refine and complete the design, manufacture the ROIC, fabricate the FPA, and test the completed product. One application issue presented by the DBCHI is the large gain variation across the array ...

Ridgetop"s innovation will improve upon a new class of power converters that has a demonstrated efficiency up to 99%. This class of power converter, called switched-capacitor (SC or switched-cap) DC-DC converters, serves applications below 200 mA of current, with typical output voltages of 6 V or lower. The unique features of SC DC-DC converters are: (1) They consist only of switches and capacitor ...
