ABSTRACT:Based on prior experience designing and building several MIMO applique prototypes, Silvus team proposes a generic modular waveform agnostic hardware/software architecture that can be reused across different MIMO applique realizations and applications. Phase I effort will include simulations and flight tests.BENEFIT:Multi-Antenna, MIMO, techniques have been proven to significantly improve ...

ABSTRACT:Legacy narrowband military waveforms are limited in their throughput (data rate) and can typically carry only a single type of traffic. Special Operations Forces, however, require a communications solution that can deliver and transport a blend of information from multiple systems and sources. The ideal SOF communication system should provide immediate links to Command and Control; Fires; ...

ABSTRACT:To address the Air Force need for Android mobile device (MD) virtualization and Mediated Mobile Access (MMA) solution, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Secure Hypervisor for Mobile Device (HyperM) based on integration of a POC-developed and proved mechanism for information protection on commercial MDs with a COTS hypervisor adapted for MD applications. This inte ...

ABSTRACT:Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have grave limitations in the quantity and quality of data that can be transmitted either for end use or exploitation. 

This SBIR effort seeks to develop and deploy one or more applications (Apps), similar in concept to those hosted on smart phones and within ground-based clouds, which can access this collected data, process it and then exploit the resul ...

ABSTRACT:RTIs Connext DDS Cert v2.4 is a commercial implementation based on the Object Management Groups Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) specification. It is currently completing certification to RTCA DO 178C (Level A). It is the culmination of over 20 man-years of development effort and several million dollars in development costs, including roughly $3M in AFRL and OSD SBIR ...

ABSTRACT:This program develops technology that can be embedded with mil-avionic transceiver to create built-in-test functionality. These features test the transceiver itself (the operating conditions, such a temperature, voltage and valid I/O signals) and the fiber cable plant for transmission loss, return loss and optical time domain reflectometer.BENEFIT:The commercial sector is embedding fiber ...

ABSTRACT:This project will develop fuel injection technology that is inherently insensitive to variation in liquid physical properties. Generally physical properties can impact the injector discharge coefficient which in turn impacts liquid velocity and mass flow for a given injector pressure drop. Under certain circumstances, the discharge coefficient can be made to be insensitive to these proper ...

ABSTRACT:SIL will develop Li-Ion Intelli-Pack battery to meet USAF SMC FTS and Upper Stage requirements. The Li-Ion Polymer Intelli-Pack battery technology energy density is in 200Wh/Kg and also can discharge high continuous (5-20C) and pulse current (10-50C) load without cell damage to meet the USAF battery requirements. The battery weight and volume will be significantly reduce by 1/3 compared t ...

ABSTRACT:To address the Air Force need for a noncontact full-field real-time strain measurement system, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Fast Full-Field Strain Measurement (3F-SM) system. This proposed system is based on a shearography technique with an instant phase shifting procedure and exploits a tunable shear interferometer which matches system sensitivity to the ex ...

ABSTRACT:In response to the Turbine Research Facility (AFRL) need for a compact, rapid, wide bandwidth, rotating data acquisition system, scalable to high-channel count, SARA, Inc. is proposing to develop an innovative system architecture making use of COTS 24 bit digitizers. We have successfully completed the Phase 1 (feasibility and brassboard) and are presently under contract in Phase 2 (protot ...
