EM PHOTONICS INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: MDA07-013
EM PHOTONICS INC — SBIR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where Department of Defense funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
- Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
- Obligated amount $750,000 is consistent with substantial Phase II-scale effort; compare to related awards from the same agency.

Description
When testing weapon systems, full motion video of the test article is among the data collected. However, in practice, such video is generally degraded due to environmental conditions between the imaging system and the subject. Digital processing techniques have been developed that have demonstrated the ability to reconstruct high-resolution imagery from environmentally degraded videos but to date these have primarily been applied to surveillance applications or stationary targets. This reconstruction becomes significantly more complex when targets are fast moving, and real position information is required (rather than simply improved image quality). In this project, we will adapt software that has been demonstrated for surveillance applications to the unique needs of the test and evaluation community. The technology delivered will be designed to improve the quality of the imagery collected and support the collection of Time Space Position Information (TSPI).
