Rapid deployment of Force Protection teams throughout the world requires trained personnel prepared to manage all threats and employ all contingencies. The Ontar Corporation has developed a unique approach that leverages off internet technology forAdvanced Distributed Learning, called TENOR, for anytime-anywhere, multimedia training.TENOR is: Platform independent, it will simultaneously format ...

The goal of this Phase II program is to design, build, test, and deliver a compact, rugged, Open-Path Fourier Transform Infrared (OP-FTIR) spectrometer system. This system will be able to work in the information-rich 8 to 13 micron region with a 16cm-1spectral resolution. This resolution is a specifically tailored for identifying and quantifying heavy industrial solvent molecules with better sen ...

The Phase II technical effort for Large Number of Air Vehicles Simulation (LNAVSIM) will bring together the triad of JFACC target allocation, the LNAVSIM air vehicle coordination techniques and OPUS air vehicle routing and analysis to the SIMAF simulationfacility at (WPAFB). The LNAVSIM capability will provide inter-vehicle coordination capabilities for the Joint Interim Mission Modeling (JIMM) s ...

The objective of this SBIR project is to produce a single chip GPS receiver using an advanced silicon on sapphire (SOS) technology known as Ultra Thin Silicon (UTSi) CMOS. The chip will be suitable for both commercial and military applications and resultin significant cost (12%), size (up to 70%) and power consumption (up to 50%) reduction compared to current technologies. As a result of discussi ...

Within the next few years major advances are anticipated in the collection of remote imagery from both commercial and military satellites. Specifically the availability of multi and hyper-spectral imagery will open up new information sources to thereconnaissance community. To effectively exploit these resources and properly support the warfighter it is imperative that image-processing tools matc ...

Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a Smart Munition Smart Sensor (SMSS) system bringing together video processing, compression, and transmission technology, with the capability to communicate at beyond-line-of-sight ranges out to a fewhundred kilometers. SMSS will send sensor data to a ground or air station, fully compressed at ratios of 1000:1 and more while preserving high si ...

Directed energy weapons (DEWs) are becoming an integral part of war fighting for the Air Force, but no general purpose computational tool exists to evaluate DEW lethality or susceptibility. The goal of this project is to remedy this situation bydeveloping the Directed Energy Weapon Analysis Tool or DEWAT code. This novel modeling and simulation code will be capable of assessing the effects of hi ...

Physical Sciences Inc. proposes to develop and test an innovative, lightweight, multi-configuration sensor to monitor the space weather environment. PSI's scintillator-based sensor is ideally suited to monitoring the lower energy (20 to 1000 keV) chargedparticle environment. The PSI sensor design is compatible with the weight, volume, and power requirements of nanosatellites. The PSI sensor des ...

Physical Sciences Inc. proposes to construct, test, and deliver a wire suspension system to support a model in a wind tunnel while permitting free rotation about three axes. A three-component balance integrated into the mount will measure loads on themodel. The device will enable Virtual Flight Tests, providing a means of identifying, diagnosing, and solving, control and navigation system proble ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop and demonstrate a novel approach for the sensing of chemically contaminated material using recently emergent Quantum Cascade (QC) laser technology. The focus of the Phase I effort was the detection ofpersistent (non-volatile) chemical agents such as HD and VX on man-made surfaces. In this effort PSI implemented a prototype system and successfully ...
