A SBIR Phase II contract was awarded to Sage Technologies, Ltd. in February, 2022 for $804,092.0 USD from the U.S. Department of Defense and United States Army.
Phase 2 DFRT SBIR will build on the Phase 1 DFRT capabilities Sage Technologies demonstrated as possible. This Phase 2 will be focusing on enhancing the camera DFRT capabilities to support a real-time dynamic demonstration in Phase 2. Phase 1 was focused on the DFRT feasibility while Phase 2 is focused on integrating all the required capabilities to support dynamic testing of the camera DFRT features as a wearable system in very low-light. New functionality discussed in Phase 1 will be implemented for real-time control of the frame rate and resolution and dynamic adaptation of the frame rate and lighting based on an IMU and light levels among other functions.
