nGimat proposed to combine ferroelectric barium strontium titanate (BST) thin film and MEMS switch technology to design and manufacture a low-cost, low-loss, millimeter wave highly tunable passband filter. A proprietary combustion chemical vapor deposition process will be used to grow the BST films. In Phase I, nGimat will design and fabricate the circuit, perform modeling and simulation, and bu ...

We propose to develop an analytical system for import, visualization and comprehensive network analysis of proteomics data. Proteomics data will be integrated with other datasets relevant for the same biological system, and compared in the framework of biological networks. The system will be based on our existing comprehensive database of human protein-protein interactions MetaBase, the toolkit fo ...

We propose to develop an enterprise portal architecture for integrating Air Force data sources, making this information accessible through standard web appliances. Our proposed solution is a two-fold approach. First, we will develop an enterprise portal server technology that makes use of and extends Cybernet Systems OpenSkiesä networking and simulation technologies. Second, we will design and i ...

We propose a hands-free data entry system to be used by Air Force aircraft maintenance personnel in noisy environments. To mitigate the noise sensitivity of voice recognition systems, we propose using simultaneous methods of input including voice, non-interfering gestures, facial feature extraction, and workspace analysis to disambiguate user focus of intention.Cybernet is ideally suited to do th ...

Tactical Air Control is a complex problem with high stakes. A failed strike leaves the ground unit vulnerable and may inflict collateral damage. Fratricide is a grave risk. Respect for this reality demands that the highest value in the game design cannot be technology, nor feature list, nor dramatic graphic effects. The highest value must be fidelity. "Battlefield Airman: Tactical Air Control" is ...

The overall technical objective for this Phase I SBIR effort is to develop a system design for the proposed medical record digital archive system (MRDAS) so that a prototype system can be built in Phase II. During Phase I research and development NovoDynamics will evaluate the use of its documentation exploitation system ArborScriptT as a potential component of the final system. The ArborScript ...

Our proposal is constructed around a mature, government-owned, distributed simulation architecture known as Joint Force Operational Readiness Combat Effectiveness Simulator (JFORCES) and a proven three-step computer-aided methodology known as Rapid Relational Modeling (RRM). The proposal includes definition, structuring and prioritizing of project goals and requirements using consensus of end-use ...

Emerging military systems, such as the Air Force UAVs, require novel radar, electronic warfare and communication sensors to support global intelligence gathering, surveillance, reconnaissance and strike capabilities. These broadband RF components have to be reconfigurable, multifunctional, impervious to severe electromagnetic environments, with small size and weight, and compatible with the existi ...

nGimat proposes to combine MEMS switches with ferroelectric technology to design and manufacture low-loss, low-cost, monolithic, frequency-agile microwave bandpass filters that can be dynamically adjusted in frequency by the application of a DC voltage. In Phase I, nGimat will design and fabricate the circuit, optimize materials, perform modeling and simulation, and build prototype tunable filter ...

To reduce commander and staff workload in the full spectrum of battlefield management, we propose to create a network of agent modules that enable effective control of multiple robotic elements. In this network, each agent serves as an expert in one or more of the required knowledge areas, and is integrated with other agents, forming a panel of advisors to a central decision-making control agent ...
