Virtual EM's SBIR Phase I proposal entitled "A Scalable Full-Wave Method for Accurate Assessment of Target Signatures Using Fast Algorithms and Hardware Acceleration" submitted to the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Topic MDA11-039 was selected for award. The work is expected to begin early 2012 and the proposed work involves development of a scalable EM modeling software for predicting radar returns from typical targets identified by the MDA. A critical aspect of the work is to accelerate computations using multi-core CPUs and GPUs. The Ohio State University will be the subcontractor on the project focusing on fast algorithms. Virtual EM routinely engages nation's premier educational institutions for exploring basic science elements of the technologies it pursues and this joint project is a perfect example of such a collaboration.

A joint proposal submitted to DARPA under the SBIR Topic No. SB102-002, entitled "Handheld Apps for Warfighters" by UES, Inc. (Dayton, OH) and Virtual EM Inc. was selected for award. The proposed work will involve interfacing the hand-held app developed by UES with Virtual EM's ViLab-W engine for beaming real time signal coverage information to the warfighter on the field. UES, Inc. will be the prime and Virtual EM will serve as the subcontractor on this Phase I SBIR project, which will strengthen the on-going collaboration between the two companies in developing new technologies by providing complementary expertise.
