Award Data

Current Army logistics systems contain massive amounts of data that need to be effectively extracted into actionable information. But, the databases themselves do not contain all that is needed to make it actionable. The Army needs an effective Enterprise Intelligence System to find data from many sources, process it in an integrated fashion, and disseminate actionable information on the readiness ...

The ability to see and understand the data is critical to situational awareness. As data becomes more prevalent, the need to link causal data into actionable information becomes paramount. Analysts are faced with mountains of data, and finding that piece of relevant information is the proverbial needle in a haystack, only with dozens of haystacks. Analysis tools that facilitate identifying causal ...

The objective of this proposal is to design and develop compact, efficient, electrically small, broadband antennas that are capable of handling high voltages of greater than 100 kV, and fit into small geometrical spaces of less than 40 mm in diameter and 50 mm in length. Previously insurmountable challenges to achieving the stringent requirements of simultaneous compact size, wider bandwidths, an ...

The objective of this proposal is to develop innovative concept designs for flat-panel, low-profile, smallest possible aperture, phased-array GBS receive antennas in the 10.5 – 13.5 GHz Ku-band and 20.2 – 21.2 GHz K/Ka-band. Furthermore, the objectives include that the antenna be realized within a 40” cross section. Conventional array antenna designs to meet the G/T requirement ...

This project will develop and demonstrate a prototype Modular Perfusion Bioreactor (MPB) for tissue engineering applications. While many unique styles of bioreactors have been proposed for various types of stem cell and tissue cultures, there is not a single, easy-to-use device that accommodates the multiple diverse needs of multiple tissue culture types.. In order to take advantage of recent ad ...

The production of hybrid carrot seed is difficult because of the indeterminacy of ripening and the tendency to shatter mature seeds. The umbel (flat-top cluster) inflorescences (seedheads) of carrots mature sequentially over a 3-4 week period. The primary (king) umbel matures first, followed by the secondary and tertiary umbels. The standard harvest method is to swath when the primary and many of ...

Pine Ridge Products LLC will introduce a tactical micro wind turbine that is highly efficient, robust, easy to use, maintain and transport. The Army is requesting a renewable energy system to reduce the amount of fuel used for small power loads. A vehicle mounted, efficient wind turbine system would improve self sufficiency on site by decreasing the need for fossil fuels. This will increase reliab ...

Studies have shown that up to 70 percent of conventionally applied fertilizer goes unutilized by plants and becomes a contaminant of surface and ground (drinking) water. Fertilizer run-off in surface water leads to oxygen depletion of streams, lakes, and other bodies of water. Without oxygen, the water becomes uninhabitable for fish and other aquatic organisms. In addition to the negative environm ...

This project develops and evaluates the Enhanced Performance Training and Support System (EPTSS) to train and support individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in: behavioral training, modeling, self-management, and visual cues using available technology such as the iPod Touch/iPad. Phase I assesses the feasibility of an enhanced job performance system utilized in multiple work environments ...

BECKUS CORP INC PROPOSES TO RESEARCH AND DEVELOP PRODUCTS WHICH WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE STATE OF THE ART IN CONCRETE SEALANTS. MUCH OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH HAS ALREADY BEEN ACHIEVED IN THE COURSE OF DEVELOPING OTHER BECKUS PRODUCTS. BECKUS HAS DEVELOPED AND PATENTED THE ONLY KNOWN CURE FOR MASONRY EFFLORESCENCE. IN THE COURSE OF THIS AND MANY OTHER DISCOVERIES BECKUS HAS ACQUIRED THE SKILL AND TEC ...
