During Phase I Space Micro successfully demonstrated, on a commercial SDR evaluation board, a Spectrum Aware Wideband Interference Rejector (SA-WIR) that nullifies undesired intermodulation distortion caused by strong in-band interferers over the whole HF (2-30MHz) band. Our SA-WIR module is highly reconfigurable and can be programmed in real-time via software for different waveforms, bandwidths a ...

The team will develop a new component of the AR app, a prototype with computer vision and recognition software to present real-world phenomena that are ordinarily not observable in nature. In Phase I, the research team will create a magnetism module would show students the invisible magnetic field all around them and how it interacts with magnetic objects. At the end of Phase I, in a pilot study w ...

This project will fully develop LabAR, an augmented reality (AR) app for students to perform hands-on physical science investigations. Using the on-device camera, LabAR will augment the environment around the user with simulated instruments and equipment, real-time data visualizations, and annotations. The simulation will be designed to look and feel realistic to maximize transferability of knowle ...

This proposal addresses the need for continuous microbial monitoring in water reuse treatment systems. The proposal will lead to a near-real-time, in-situ, reagentless sensor for potable and non-potable water systems. LITMUS (Laser-based Insitu Testing of Microbes with Ultraviolet Spectroscopy) uses deep UV laser excitation to directly detect microbes from the autofluorescence of protein-bound aro ...

Project Summary. Industrial Microbes is developing a green fermentation platform to replace carbon-emitting petrochemical processes with new methods that build chemicals out of carbon dioxide and methane. By using these raw materials and a new process, the company will be able to produce valuable chemicals for half the current production cost. This advantage means that Industrial Microbes’ techn ...

In response to SOCOM212-001, Higher Ground proposes to develop a man-portable battery powered Starlink user terminal. Convenient handheld terminals connecting to a very large network of LEO satellites (such as Starlink) could provide the necessary ‘always-on’ reliability that one expects from using GEO satellites along with an additional advantage that we refer to as ‘The LEO Advantage’. T ...

Manifold Analytics and business partner, Lockheed Martin, are proposing an automated microservice pipeline to automate the process of data discovery, source preparation, and conversion of geospatial data into CDB layers for USSOCOM. This toolset is designed to integrate into directly into the existing microservice platform used by the Common Operating Picture (COP) and will leverage two decades of ...

Recent and emerging sensor technologies enable longer range motion imagery performance in smaller packages. Performance is ultimately limited by physics. Sufficient optical clear aperture is required to avoid image quality degradation from the diffraction limit. The goal of this program is to maximize the clear aperture for three primary long range sensors to ensure that their real image resolu ...

This project will develop a new type of polymer concrete using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and a proprietarysustainable and biodegradable thermosetting thermoplastic polycarbonate that has the performance properties ofcurrent polymer concrete, but can be melt processed and recycled like asphalt. Consequently it will be morepractical than current polymer concrete in large scale applications l ...
