Syntonics will investigate and design a suite of tactical line-of-sight (LOS) antennas using some or all of these potential antenna configurations: Collapsing (

Toyon Research Corporation proposes to research and develop a low-cost, miniature direction finding (Mini-DF(TM)) module and build a proof-of-concept system. The primary focus of this Phase I effort will be to locate cellular and wireless communicationsand RF emissions in the 2.0 MHz to 3.0 GHz frequency range. The Mini-DF module will accept input from an external receiver that is using a single D ...

An essential task performed by Special Operations Forces (SOF) is the acquisition and distribution of intelligence information from remote locations. The value of this information for applications such as target identification can be greatly enhanced ifit is augmented by the use of imagery. Digital images captured by SOF personnel at remote locations must be transmitted via satellite link to dec ...

The proposed Phase I work is to develop soft pack lithium polymer batteries with high energy density (>175 Wh/kg) and superior temperature performance. Ultralife has been engaged in lithium polymer battery research, development and manufacturing since1996. Ultralife has achieved several milestones in improving lithium polymer battery performance over the past year. The current Ultralife 3410610 ...

Current systems for the covert gathering of image data by SOF are limited to still images only and present cumbersome usability problems, including numerous swapping of memory cards between cameras and computers, insertion of the data controller card, andthe need to use several programs in a standard general purpose user interface. Collection and transmission of video is currently not possible at ...

Wave 80 Biosciences, Inc. will develop a fully-automated biological fluids analysis system for use by Special Operations Forces (SOF). The compact, rugged Wave 80 SOF Micro Lab is capable of quickly and accurately performing a wide range of tests,including basic blood tests, urinalysis, and tests for parasites, bacteria, and other pathogens. The Wave 80 SOF Micro Lab consists of a reusable, PDA ...

A display and input device are required for use in conjunction with the body worn version of the Ground SIGINT Kit (GSK). This effort will research and select COTS displays suitable for use in both wrist-worn and head-mounted scenarios, and then repackageprototypes of these devices in a ruggedized configuration, with mechanical and electrical interfaces compatible with the GSK system controller ( ...

The Analog/Video Communications Link can be used by fielded soldiers for data/voice transfer to fellow soldiers or as a link for gathering data from remotely located sensors. Phase I of this effort produced a preliminary hardware design for two CardTransceiver (CXCVR) versions, one with a PCI interface and the other with a PCMCIA interface, a Sensor Transceiver (SXCVR), and a base station compute ...

SOF tactical users currently lack a small, dynamic package with the capability to geolocate emitters that they may encounter, while stationary or on-the-move, in the course of their missions. Through the development of such a package, and integration withother components of the SOF tactical Joint Threat Warning System (JTWS)
