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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An estimated 75% of litter along the shoreline globally is made of plastic. Plastic particles and debris find their way into oceans, rivers, lakes, sediment, and eventually into our bodies. Over 90% of the plastic contamination in the open ocean is attributed to microplastic particles (MP) - i.e. plastic objects with diameter

As wildfires are increasing in prevalence and intensity there is a need for miniaturized, lower cost, and easily portable air sensor systems that provide accurate information to air quality and public health managers, communities, and researchers, so that the public can be protected and timely decisions can be made. Fixed site measurement stations are large and expensive. More dense networks of sm ...

Phonological awareness, the ability to identify and manipulate sounds in words, is the strongest determinant of future reading ability. The developers have created an interactive phonological audio tool for preschool-aged children to listen to passages and learn and practice the basic sounds that make up words. In this project, they will improve this tool by developing a new prototype software app ...

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 ...
