The proposed work will lead to the development of a flexible plasma simulation capability that can make use of computational accelerators such as GPUs when present. The eventual computational application will be able to transition from full fluid modelin

Due to the difficulties currently involved in fitting prosthetic sockets and the overall subjective nature of the process, DARPA seeks the development of innovative diagnostic tools for quantifying the characteristics of the socket-limb interface during the fitting process. In recent years, prosthetic design has made leaps and bounds implementing robotics to enhance prosthetic performance and ampu ...

In todays military, active special operators must be highly mobile and carry all their essential equipment and supplies with them. A major limitation to mobility is the need to carry fresh water. An individual must carry 12 to 24 pounds of water for each day they will be in the field without re-supply. It would be far better to be able to purify locally available water, but no technology exists ...

R-DEX Systems proposes to develop the TrackMap System, an innovative and groundbreaking long-range detection and warning system (DWS) for the detection of unlawful targets on the railroad right of way (ROW). TrackMap will leverage low-cost radar sensors, proven software, and high-performance embedded processing to enable the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and its safety partners to signific ...

Triad Technology is proposing development of scalable process for fabrication of an all glass microcell with a getter/dispenser surface coating. The microcell fabrication process will provide the capability to build and fill multiple microcell at one time.

TDAs proposes to develop a novel RF heating process for rewarming cryogenically preserved tissues and organs. TDAs approach is to optimize the RF frequency and power, along with the chemical composition, size and morphology of infused nanoparticles so that they heat tissue samples rapidly and uniformly. In this manner, the cryoprotectant solutions pass from the vitrified state to the liquid stat ...

Rocket Lab USA, Inc. proposes to develop and demonstrate how the use of the Electron launch vehicle either as an upper stage in support of the XS-1 program or dedicated small launch vehicle could employ the use of Automated Flight Termination (AFTS) technologies to reduce the cost of access to space without adversely impacting public safety. Providing the launch opportunity to obtain flight telem ...

Generation Orbit Launch Services, Inc. (GO) proposes a six-month (technical) Phase I SBIR effort to conduct applied research leading to a low cost, high performance commercial upper stage for space launch applications. Two lines of stage improvement will be investigated: 1) high performance composite structures that utilize nanomaterial structures to reduce weight and lower production cost for pre ...

ColdQuanta proposes the development of compact electric field sensors that operate from 1 to 1000 GHz and feature absolute accuracy better than 1%. These devices will utilize highly excited Rydberg atoms that are exceptionally sensitive to RF, microwave, and millimeter radiation. Featuring sensitivities of a few uV/cm, the accuracy of these devices will be at least one order of magnitude better t ...
