Award Data

Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms play an increasingly important role in modern warfare.The goal of providing timely and actionable information to the warfighter can be greatly facilitated by the ability to simultaneously collect multiple types of sensor data.Imaging one target without losing track of another target can mean the difference between mission success and m ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will automate an experiential simulation learning lab by funding the technical conversion from what is essentially a hardwired product requiring a dedicated lab available to schools within a limited geographic area to a nationally available online product. Additionally, the funding will drive the technological innovation necessary to maintain ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is the development of potentially the first FDA-approved phage therapeutic, non-antibiotic remedy specifically designed for honeybees. This treatment has the potential to become the global gold standard for treating American Foulbrood, a devastating honey bee disease caused by the bacteria Paenibacill ...

We propose to continue our project generating transgenic insect with improved nutrition for humans and livestock, building on the milestones we have reached and will continue to develop in phase I. We have already demonstrated insertion of exogenous reporter DNA into the insect, and continue to develop genetic engineering tools and techniques. We have expressed the biosynthetic pathway of interest ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will accelerate the adoption of data intensive precision agriculture, increasing yields while decreasing farm inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides. This project removes the software bottleneck (time and labor) in processing large aerial surveys taken by Unmanned Aerial Systems, enabling a cost-effective and timely process to deli ...

This SBIR Phase I project will determine the feasibility of a new high risk technology for treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The technology is an AAV2-mediated concurrent expression of recombinant proteins to intracellularly suppress the critical growth factors VEGF-A (vascular endothelial growth factor A) and PDGF-B (platelet-derived growth factor) in a single injection. AMD is ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will benefit nearly 6 million children per year who are suspected of having abnormal Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER) which can lead to a more serious condition with numerous complications referred to as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Current detection paradigms include costly and invasi ...

The Airborne Planning Application (APA) provides an architecture and framework that enables the incremental addition of automation and electronic decision support to the airborne operations planning process, which is currently largely manual. The develop...

This project will develop a multi-sensory therapy program for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder by improving eye contact. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder do not make eye contact readily and eye contact is a key component in progressing social behavior. Current methodologies to assist these children in maximizing their capabilities are out of reach for many, costing families t ...

The United States Special Operations Command needs the capability to conduct intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance from airborne assets. The Governments objective is to develop an extended range radar prototype system that can track personnel and vehicles in all-weather conditions, during the day and at night, with a Ground Moving Target Indicator and to image personnel or vehicles throu ...
