This SBIR Phase II project completes the development and validation of a Gen 2 beacon, develops a ruggedized automated ground station and matures the central control center software environment. This project is divided into two phases: Phase II (base) completes development of the Gen 2 beacon and ground station, explores alternative power sources and culminates in a full space qualification test p ...

Methods for interconversion between cell types (cellular reprogramming) are currently discovered through resource intensive trial and error. Experiments may test a multitude of transcription factors to identify correct combinations that influence cell fate. In addition, reprogramming approaches commonly use stem cell intermediates such as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are generated ...

Ziva’s proposed Ultra nonlinear Plasmonics (TALON) technology addresses the critical DoD need to miniaturize on chip tunable and non-linear photonic components and devices. Ziva’s TALON based modulator exploits metamaterial based, composite materials for the waveguide section cladding layers and for the non-linear interaction sections. Using metamaterial based composite cladding layers for the ...

The primary objective of this Phase II proposal is to reduce the size, weight, and power (SWAP) needed to implement ground terminal electronics for protected waveforms such as AEHF and PTW. Specifically, this Phase II effort will reduce the SWAP of the baseband signal processing and demonstrate AEHF terminal functionality on the reduced-SWAP platform. The development effort includes the design and ...

Freedom Photonics and its team partners propose to develop in this program a novel Focal Plane Array (FPA) based on Germanium Silicon Tin (GeSiSn) on Silicon technology, capable of detecting wavelengths in the Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) range, up to 2200 nm. The FPAs will be developed in PIN photodiode and Avalanche Photodiode (APD) configuratios. These FPAs have the potential of providing low cost ...

Innoflight will develop a high performance software-defined compact radio (SCR) with Ka and X dual band downlink capability and S Band uplink capability. The Ka / X SCR will support 300 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplinks rates using advanced spectrally efficient waveforms. It will offer interoperability with standard government and commercial ground stations such as the Army RGT (Remote Ground Termi ...

In order to meet Defense Health Agency’s need for rapid confirmation and evaluation of open globe injuries, to allow for appropriate initial triage, evacuation, and treatments, ChromoLogic LLC (CL) proposes to develop an Ocular Penetrating/Perforating inj

We propose development of an AR system that allows the medical personnel to visualize the internal anatomy of a patient by projecting relevant anatomical information onto the patient directly into the field of view (FOV) of the medic. With no medical imag

The purpose of the MEDIC (Medic’s Enhanced Diagnostic Imaging Companion) system is to provide combat medics, via Augmented Reality (AR), a digitally-superimposed avatar representing the internal anatomy of their Warfighter patient. Phase I of this SBIR p

We propose to develop SmartPatient BOT driven by a continuous learning Natural Language Processing (NLP) Engine which can understand medical learner's questions in a natural conversation mode and provide responses from the medical simulator instead of int
