A VARIETY OF ELECTRICAL/HYDRAULIC MOTORS, PUMPS, FANS, AND BLOWERS EMPLOYED WITHIN COMBAT VEHICLES IMPOSE UNACCEPTABLE NOISE LEVELS ON CREW MEMBERS. THIS INVESTIGATION ADDRESSES DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF A PROTOTYPE NOISE REDUCTION PROCESSOR SUITABLE FOR LATER IMPLEMENTATION WITHIN A SELF- CONTAINED HEADSET. COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN CREW MEMBERS WOULDBE ACOUSTICALLY COUPLED WITH NOISE REDUCTION ...

THIS PROPOSAL SHALL BE FOR A STUDY TO PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION OF THE EXTENDED USE, FEASIBILITY AND ADVATAGES THAT COULD BE REALIZED BY THE USE OF A REMOTE CONTROL\MEDICAL SUPPORT VEHICLE.THE STUDY SHALL RELATE KNOWN AND EXPECTED CONDITIONS AND PARAMETERS WHICH SHOULD LOGICALLY GUIDE A DESIGN\TRADE-OFF PHASE TO PLAUSIBLE CONCLUSIONS OF WHAT SUCH A VEHICLE COULD ACTUALLY PERFORM. THE SUB ...

SUMX CORPORATION HAS DEVELOPED AND DEMONSTRATED CONCEPTUALLY NEW COATINGS FOR CORROSION PROTECTION. THE CORROSION RESISTANCE AFFORDED BY THIS METHOD IS BASED PM ELECTRON TRANSFER BETWEEN THE METAL AND IMMOBILIZED REDOX CENTERS IN THE COATING SO AS TO MAINTAIN THE METAL IN A PASSIVE CONDITION. THIS "PINNING" OF THE SUBSTRATE POTENTIAL MAY PROVIDE PROTECTION AGAINST LOCALIZED, AS WELL AS UNIFORM COR ...

In response to the DOD request to design and develop novel catalysts to facilitate the synthesis of energetic materials and commercially viable products, it is proposed to undertake a detailed molecular modeling studies on the structures of various zeolites and the binding of organic compounds and inorganic cations with these zeolites. New force field will be developed for these zeolites suitabl ...

The objective of this project is to develop a significantly improved ground vehicle for military reconnaissance with high speed over rough terrain and high mobility a prime factor. Concepts to capitalize on the attributes of electric drive and active suspension utilizing swing arm technology are explored and a practical system selected. The use of independent drive wheels of a hybrid electric dr ...

Cooling of the liner wall in gas turbine combustors has become increasingly difficult and problematic as engine pressure ratios are constantly increased. Existing cooling techniques have limitations in perfomance. At Energy Innovations, Inc., we have developed a new technology that has potential to effectively and efficiently solve the cooling problem for gas turbine combustors. One significant ...

More compact, efficient, lighter weight and lower cost radiators are desirable for the Army Ml 09A6 cooling system. At Energy Innovations, Inc.(EII), we have invented new thermal technology using innovative materials and designs which has potential to provide the high quality radiator for the Army. These new heat exchangers are characterized by technical merits such as high cooling capacity, low ...

Just as workers can become more productive when assisted by persons performing administrative or other offline tasks, warfighters can benefit from assistance. The existence of internet services on the Army's telecommunications system can make this possible by providing the infrastructure for these services to be performed remotely, removing the assisting personnel from danger and without incurrin ...

There are an estimated 100 million landmines scattered about the world, and over 20,000 innocent people are injured by these devices annually. An equally serious problem exists with other types of unexploded ordnance (UXO). Locating these explosives is difficult and dangerous. The inability to accurately characterize these sites not only fails to eliminate the risks, but also inhibits movement ...
