HYPERION TECHNOLOGY GROUP INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: N142-086
HYPERION TECHNOLOGY GROUP INC — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Defense.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $140,272. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code N142-086 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
Acoustic sensors, such as the Ground Counter Fire Sensor (GCFS), are used by the USMC to identify the point-of-origin (POO) and point-of-impact (POI), as well as provide source identification. This effort will develop a proof-of-feasibility set of signal processing algorithms for the GCFSs Command Post (CP). These algorithms will permit a network consisting of a mixture of up to 12 fixed listening posts (LPs) and relocatable LPs (RLPs). The CP will de-conflict simultaneous events and identify POO / POI as well as the firing platform with the accuracy stated in the solicitation as an optimal goal. Hyperion will develop a robust event location estimation algorithm. A stochastic data fusion method will be developed for handling simultaneous events. Acoustic ray-tracing and wave propagation estimators, using meteorology and terrain data, will be used to achieve highly accurate calculations of event time and location and support improved event type identification. As a benefit of this work, the USMC can implement an improved sensor network, lessening the logistical burden on the Warfighter in regards to emplacement, operation and maintenance.
