Project SummaryAccumulated snowpack is a major source of water throughout the United States. Accuratelymonitoring snow on the northern plains is a significant need for streamflow forecasting andreservoir management. This has been demonstrated by the US Army Corp of Engineersestablishment of the Upper Missouri River Basin Plains Snow and Soil Moisture MonitoringNetwork. The availability of a low-co ...

To address the DON’s need for developing methods to produce accurate riblet profiles in outer mold line (OML) surfaces that yield significant drag savings, fuel cost savings and extended range for USN aircraft, DARE Venture Group is partnered with MicroTau to deliver that exact development related to specific US Naval aircraft requirements. This project includes objectives encompassing the resea ...

Dialectic Simulations Consulting, LLC, partnered with SoSA Corp, is prepared to support the Marine Corps Wargaming and Analysis Center (MCWAC) in developing conceptual models of Civil-Military Operations (CMO). These models include both civilian population and civilian patterns of life as specified in the topic, described in JP3-57, and envisioned in Force Design 2030.   In addition to our experi ...

In this SBIR program, AdvR will develop a new feature in Y-branch dual phase modulator IOCs which enables fine tuning of the split ratio after assembly.  The proposed approach utilizes existing technology with a long flight heritage in tactical gyroscopes to create a tunable section which is localized, finely adjustable and permanent after tuning.  Preliminary modeling indicates the target perfo ...

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACTThe Opportunity.Alaska's beaches are covered with hundreds of tons of Plastic Ocean Waste (POW)that has been deposited into the water from a myriad of counties including Russia Japan Korea Chinaand the United ...

The project's goal is to enable machine learning ("AI") enabled pollinator ID and behavior detectionon agricultural producer lands where detection units send insect IDs and behavior counts back tothe producer. Our objective is to build on an existing USDA open-source automated insectidentification device that can already send machine vision results back to the farmer.All camera-based computer visi ...

Beartooth MK II is a small, inexpensive, disposable system for warfighter communication.  The system enables the warfighter to sense and respond to the environment, threats, and targets.  Beartooth has a low probability of detection, low probability of interception and applies artificial intelligence to increase warfighter lethality and survivability while lowering cognitive load.  The sys ...

There is a critical need for technology to reduce drought induced crop losses on more than 45million acres of US dryland grown small grains.Montana BioAgriculture MBAI licensed patentsfor a plant symbiotic fungus Curvularia protuberata which confers tolerance to drought in wheatand barley.MBAI sees opportunity to bring C. protuberata to commercial use and to demonstratethe company's expertise in p ...

The goal of our Phase I USDA-NIFA research contract was to develop a prototype Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) sensor and companion techniques that provide high-resolution snow property estimates to improve forecasting of water resources for agriculture and public consumption mountain weather avalanches floods and hydropower. Our measurement techniques involved the use of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) radar t ...

Silicon Q-PICs provide a miniature, stable, and scalable platform for developing future light-based quantum technologies, including sensors, secure communications, and information processors. This is due in large part to leveraging existing semiconductor manufacturing capabilities and the dense integration that the high index contrast of silicon can achieve. In order to fully implement quantum arc ...
