CAMX Power proposes to develop a safe, battle damage-tolerant lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology that is suitable for structural integration in military vehicles.The proposed technology will address the need for a structural battery disposed on the surface of a military vehicle to remain functional in the event that it sustains some amount of battle damage.This novel battery, based on CAMX Po ...

US Army operations rely on air and missile defense (AMD) systems to provide fully integrated low altitude air defense against cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and other low flying fixed and rotary wing targets, as well as tactical ballistic nuclear, biological and chemical warheads. Metamagnetics Inc. proposes to develop a cost-effective and compact auto-tune filter (ATF) that rapidly an ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop an unmanned aircraft system based bioaerosol detection capability that is cued to a region of interest using non-specific, persistent and wide area thermal imagers commonly deployed for surveillance.The detection capability, referred to as Bio-MAV, will fold into a recursive Bayesian classifier (RBC) processing module currently being developed by PS ...

Torch proposes the enhancement ofa holistic, efficient, high fidelity approach for development of terrain models suitable for use in high fidelity EO/IR rendering applications and simulations. Torch will decrease development complexity and timelines through the generation of efficient characterization algorithms, artifact rectification algorithms, rapid clutter classification, and discrete element ...

In this Subsequent Phase II SBIR proposal Physical Sciences Inc. outlines the continued development of its electronic infrared (IR) flare illuminator technology that meets the Armys specifications for the M-278 IR flare while overcoming documented safety and reliability issues with the current chemical (illuminant) based IR flare. Specifically, PSI will address remaining elements of technical risk ...

It has recently been mathematically proven that optimal communication systems necessarily have chaotic waveforms. Perhaps surprisingly, any communication system that utilizes a simple linear matched filter to achieve optimal detection of a signal, received by way of a noisy channel, must transmit a chaotic waveform. Using the concept of exactly-solvable chaos, communication systems can be built ...

A pilots ability to maintain situational awareness during flight is critical to both mission success and crew and passenger safety. Loss of spatial orientation and overall situational awareness is a critical challenge for the DOD. This is especially the case for helicopter pilotage during tactical maneuvers in stressful conditions such as Degraded Visual Environments (DVE) scenarios. Accidents due ...

The proposed second Phase II effort is to perform innovative research into SAL signal processing and guidance methods which utilize imaging sensor measurements of the laser spot and clutter.Developing the SAL signal processing and guidance algorithms for a de-focused, strap-down, dual-mode seeker solution is also proposed.Development of signal processing algorithms to process the sensor image is t ...

The US Army utilizes semi-active laser (SAL) optical sensors on many missile platforms from missiles to guided bombs to provide precision guidance to targets.There is a need for low-cost missile seekers that can be integrated on smaller platforms without any moving parts. Next generation semi-active laser seekers therefore require novel non-gimbal (strap-down) seeker solutions with the same total ...

East West Enterprises along with deciBel research and Eikon Research developed a toolset of algorithms for radar detection and tracking of Targets in heavy clutter. This includes a radar side car architecture to allow offline testing in a plug and play environment. EWE team proposes to enhance this tool set by adding additional capability with features and algorithms to make it potentially viable ...
