Technology Service Corporation (TSC) will develop innovative waveforms and exploitation algorithms for concurrent synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and moving target indication (MTI) in contested RF environments to counter emerging threats from commercial un

The proposed effort will convert and existing air-dropped GARC hull and its mission elements from gasoline waterjet propulsion (Mercury Optimax) to unmanned diesel outdrive propulsion. This conversion will require: incorporation of a diesel engine and outdrive, hull internal structural changes to enable mounting of the engine and outdrive, exhaust and cooling system changes to accommodate the dies ...

eSpin Technologies will design the scale up machine to produce novel high performance separator for lithium primary batteries. The process will be developed to produce novel separator and a variants which has the potential of a significantly higher volumetric efficiency for electrolyte storage capacity and kinetics to distribute electrolyte flow within nanoporous channel efficiently. This new sepa ...

Technology Assessment & Transfer, Inc. and subcontractors propose novel, high performance additive manufactured (AM) heat exchangers for military systems. The AM process will allow for conformal, lightweight designs that optimize use of available space. Integrated computational materials engineering will be used to optimize the AM materials and process parameters, correlate material microstructure ...

Most of the existing efforts fighting against cyber-attacks in critical cyber systems are focused on achieving resiliency and survivability. However, there are specific mission requirements for certain types of critical cyber systems that demand for the mission software to fail/crash, as soon as possible, when cyber-attack is successful and a program control is lost, rather than to operate in some ...

A process is proposed for manufacturing low-cost, high-quality, GaN-on-Diamond wafers, so as to enable production of high-power RFICs at costs that substantially outperform their equivalent circuits manufactured on GaN-on-SiC. The process utilizes an epitaxial transfer approach in which gallium nitride is grown epitaxially on silicon carbide handle wafers, removed from the handles, and bonded to d ...

IAI proposes to continue understanding social bots behaviors, extract indicators, develop socio-computational models with predictive capabilities to detect bot and botnet (i.e., coordinated groups of bots) activity, measure the impact of bots and their effectiveness, and implement the algorithms and incorporate them in a mature social media analytics software tool. In particular, we will develop i ...

Link-16 is a NATO military tactical data exchange network that enables fighting forces to exchange their tactical pictures in near-real time, as well as send and receive text messages, imagery data, and digital voice. Link-16 radios typically are aboard a

A Power of Ideas on the Internet (POINT) platform will be developed for the search and discovery of major ideas regarding overseas events that find expression in public online media sites. Through textual analysis of open source content we will trace the emergence and propagation of ideas--as they relate to particular topics and geographic locations. In addition, we will investigate empirical mode ...

In a previous effort, GTL successfully demonstrated that the BHL cryotank technology provides a 75% mass reduction compared to the state of the art cryotanks. This capability would double the payload a liquid propellant launch vehicle just from the mass...
