Volatilities in global weather and geo-political climate are increasing the frequency and magnitude of natural and manmade disasters. Providing rapid response to affected areas is critical to saving lives, as the immediate aftermath of a disaster presents the greatest risks to survivors and to first responders. The highly dynamic environments resulting from debris and infrastructure destruction cr ...

For Phase I we used commercially available hardware and software to develop a computer vision AI/ML model that detects corrosion in aerial images of vessels. This required robust cloud hosting and cloud platform/applied machine learning capabilities; a fully automated data pipeline; and extensive collaboration with our drone flight services partner to obtain high quality images. To increase the bu ...

The Phase I EMARC prototype is configured to be a fully functioning machine shop. It provides the operator with unprecedented maintenance and repair capability in a truly self sustaining portable and modular system. A very large suite of machining equipment is strategically positioned inside the main room to provide maximum flexibility for a variety of maintenance and repair tasks. Included are a ...

Lightning impacts many aspects of our daily lives and is responsible for billions of dollars in property and industry losses every year. This Phase II effort proposes the development of a lightning services API using data from the GOES-R Series Geostationary Lighting Mapper (GLM) and the development of short-term lightning prediction products including lightning initiation and lightning cessation. ...

We propose the continuation of development for the Autonomous Data Acquisition and Processing Technologies (ADAPT) payload. This open source system will manage data collection from onboard sensors, particularly imaging sensors, and provide actionable intelligence by enabling in-flight, real-time application of DNN image processing to support a variety of missions. We will substantially reduce the ...

Poseidon Systems, LLC is seeking the support of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for development of a portable grease sampling system. Under this effort, Poseidon and partners will develop and test an initial version of the system. The system will interrogate the manually collected grease sample with an adapted FerroQ ferrous metal debris monitoring sensor, plus other key meas ...

The product to be delivered based on this innovation is a neutron scattering sample environment that enables efficient neutron scattering measurements of biopolymer solutions at high pressure. The proposed high-throughput, high-pressure small-angle neutron scattering (HTHP-SANS) sample environment addresses key customer needs and provides substantial advantages to both the scientific user ...

SBIR Phase I I proposal to develop a light-weight composite run flat insert using materials and designs that yeilded >60% weight savings in SBIR Phase I.  Base effort is a Model Based Systems Engineering program to finalized design, configuration and materials selection and validate performance through a combination of dynamic modeling and simulation and full-scale test.  Wheel integration and f ...
