This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will establish the feasibility of integrating a small, light weight MAD sensor and signal processing technology with an UAV platform for shallow water and land surveillance. Polatomic's approach utilizes a miniature laser magnetometer concept and technology developed under SBIR contracts from NASA, NSF and the Navy. The laser magnetometer ...

Today's workforce requires higher skill levels than ever before. This necessitates effective training technologies. A key component of the training process is assessing trainee performance and critical learning needs. Traditional assessment tools have been criticized as measuring test taking skills more than problem solving skills. A number of approaches have been developed to address this wea ...

1.1 Technical Abstract: S.T. Research proposes to develop optimgic, algorithms, and processing speeds for airborne use of IFM receivers in the LT mode of operation. The effect of LT on IFM pulse processing is not well documented, and a thorough analysis of these effects, and solution of the problems caused by the LT process is the goal of this SBIR effort. S.T. Research Corp. has dev ...

If the APOBS system is to be deployed and proliferated, it must be inexpensive to produce. The key to efficient manufacture is to understand the short term launch acceleration loads and long term temperature and material creep forces to which the system will be subjected. Then configure a simple attachment scheme which ensures high reliability and high speed production. In order to successfu ...

A feasibility investigation is proposed for designing a HIRF aircraft test facility which reduces existing test time by at least a factor of two without comprising the HIRF requirements for aspect angle/polarization and field strengths (both average and peak). SEA proposes a hybrid TEM cell/reverberation facility which will reduce test time involved with repositioning test equipment or test ...

We propose a new method for adaptive nonstationary spectral estimation and harmonic analysis for stepped-frequency inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging. The essential idea is to construct a set of orthogonal windows that have little spectral leakage and use each of these windows to create an independent spectral estimate. A data dependent and frequency dependent weighted average ...

SITE, L.L.C. (SITE), as prime contractor with Georgia Tech Research Institute as subcontractor and Dr. Ferdy Mayer as consultant, proposes to investigate methods to extend the RF attentuation of absorptive filter line electric cable to the HF range. The main goal of the proposed effort will be to demonstrate the feasibility of achieving low-pass cutoff frequencies up to one decade lower than ...

The objective of this project is to design an enhanced mobile electric power distribution system (EMEPDIS). The new system will be comprised of a single, modularized distribution panel to replace the existing 15kW, 30kW, and 100kW distribution panels. EMEPDIS will utilize light weight construction techniques in the modular design as well as light weight, low cost, armored aluminum cabling t ...

SPEC proposes a program to deliver a high-resolution no deadzones OTDR for flightline fiber optic diagnostics of the Navy F-18 E/F. Application to other multimode optical fiber networks such as Air Force F-22, Army RAH-66, and commercial Boeing 777 is expected. Extension to flyable and factory OTDR versions planned as follow on additions. Program lays foundation to develop ruggedization, m ...

Program provides capability to transfer microwave signals over fiber optic channel in 1 - 18 GHz band. Current operations require system to assess electric field within fuselage of an aircraft such as induced by radar sweep. Currently, non-fiber coaxial cable system is affected by leakage from external environment and requires holes for bulkhead connectors to be put in fuselage. Fiber ...
