Space Micro will develop an innovative payload that can be hosted onboard a nanosatellite/ CubeSat bus, for the advancement of USSOCOM capabilities in rapid intelligence collection, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). This R&D will improve and enhance capabilities in intelligence collection, surveillance, and reconnaissance from new spaceborne platforms.

CubeSats offer substantial reductions in operation and launch costs, while reducing time between request and employment of the capability. To address the USSOCOM needs, SA Photonics proposes an Infra-red Multispectral Imager for CubeSats (IMICS). IMICS collects diffraction-limited hyperspectral earth imagery, allowing identification of personnel, operating vessels / vehicles, structures and terrai ...

Toyon Research Corp. proposes a feasibility study including all promising techniques for enabling SOCOM’s desired Multi-FMV Fusion 3D Capability, which is intended to reduce operator cognitive burden and enhance multi-source surveillance data exploitation. Key topics to consider include multi-platform FMV registration and fusion, 3D model reconstruction, fused video rendering, and artificial int ...

Botts Innovative Research, Inc (Botts, Inc.) proposes to conduct a feasibility study to assess the art of the possible as it relates to the use of the open source, open standards based OpenSensorHub (OSH) (www.OpenSensorHub.org) for the integration between the sensors and robots of Hyper Enabled Operators (HEO), their units, and their mission command, to provide battlespace awareness at the tactic ...

Special OperationsForces (SOF)are an integral aspect of the US military. SOF operators are among the most elite and highly qualified individuals in the U.S.military. As such, extraordinary physical and mental demands are placed upon them to excel in extreme environments for extended periods of time. This unrelenting cycle of combat deployments and intense pre-deployment training shortens the funct ...

Attollo and Team will design and develop a compact, covert, non-mechanical quad-band beacon for identifying friendly forces. The proposed solution includes a mid wavelength infrared (MWIR) beacon detectable by typical targeting pod cameras like LITENING Pod beyond an 8 nmi slant range. The key technology in this system includes innovative packaging of an advanced, low-cost Quantum Cascade Laser (Q ...

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 ...

Intellisense Systems, Inc. (ISI) proposes to advance the development of a new Remote Air Quality Reporting (RAQR) device to measure and track wildland fire pollutants including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulates, in a small, portable, easy-to-use unit capable of storing and reporting data from remote locations. As wildfires are expected to occur more frequently nea ...

TiaLinx’s Proposed Eagle10-W is an ultra-wideband (“UWB”) radio frequency (RF) sensor that uses advanced computer vision algorithms, state-of-the-art computer processor technologies, and has a fully integrated display unit.

Wild fires produce significant air pollution, posing health risks to first responders, residents in nearby areas, and downwind communities. Wildfires are increasing in size and intensity, and the fire season is growing longer. Technologies for measuring air pollutants, including particulates, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon dioxide, over the wide range of levels expected in areas dow ...
