To address Navy need for a novel in-situ, real-time, non-destructive permethrin test device for verification of permethrin content in military fabrics and uniforms in the field, HarmonoLogic LLC proposes to develop a new In-situ, Non-Destructive Optical Spectroscopic Permethrin Test (INDOSP) system based on optical spectroscopic sensing technologies. The portable, hand-held, non-destructive INDOSP ...

Acoustic detection of indirect fire impact points and the points of origin is a difficult problem. The sensors themselves are time consuming to emplace and maintain, the acoustic data received is difficult to interpret, and sound transmission times introduce latency into the system. SARA proposes an innovative set of algorithms at the command post level to interpret the reports from an array of mo ...

ATA Engineering proposes to develop an innovative portable oxygen generation system design through integration of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components featuring advanced technologies, implementation and evaluation of targeted equipment modifications for improved performance, and incorporation of design features for vibration and environmental ruggedness. The design process will seek to optim ...

Existing expeditionary shelter systems used by the US Marine Corps require significant energy resources for climate control and current thermal insulation solutions create unnecessary logistical burden due to their size and weight. ATA Engineering, Inc. proposes an SBIR project to adapt and continue development of its proprietary insulating barrier technology, whose feasibility in achieving R-valu ...

Softwall shelter systems are unable to maintain comfortable interior working and living conditions when used at locations with extreme environments and possess poor energy efficiency through high fuel consumption. LGarde, Inc. is currently developing a thermal insulation system for softwall shelters to address the need to increase energy efficiency and reduce fuel consumption in the military. LGar ...

RTI proposes the development of a unified, open, modular, comprehensive recording platform capable of recording quantitative and qualitative data in a distributed system. The platform will support operational data recording in a distributed system, providing tools for real-time data analysis, transformation, storage and reconstruction/replay all within the same open unified platform.

Redondo Optics Inc. (ROI) proposes to design, build, bench and fly test, and deliver to the Navy an innovative light weight, high-speed, and self-powered wireless fiber optic sensor (WiFOS) structural health monitor system suitable for the onboard and in-flight unattended detection, localization, and classification of load, fatigue, and structural damage within the blades, rotor gears, shafts of a ...

During Phase I of this ONR-funded effort, we made substantial progress toward the overarching goal of improving intuitive decision making in a variety of settings. In that effort we recognized an opportunity to inform the intuitive system by expanding the set of decision attributes that are immediately accessible to the user. This proposed Phase II effort will build on the intuitive systems natura ...

Accurate, rapid interpretation of sensor data is critical to modern anti-submarine warfare (ASW). The Navy's push towards integrated multi-platform, multi-sensor ASW operations has the potential to significantly increase situational awareness; however, due to expected shortages in sensor operator staffing, this improvement will most likely be coupled with an increase in individual sensor operator ...

The goals of this Phase II project are to develop a prototype vision system and demonstrate its capability of locating boundaries and obstructions, normally 15 feet away, within one second in scenarios containing smoke from a real fire. This vision system needs to be compact and lightweight. ASC will fabricate and modify a new TigerCub camera and take advantages of its weather resistant ability as ...
