ABSTRACT:Tactical Air Control Parties (TACP) and Joint Terminal Air Controller (JTAC) deploy with not only a significant amount of gear, but also a large work load in order to manage all of their responsibilities. As the battlefield becomes more digitized, it is forcing TACPs/JTACs (which we will refer to as just TACPs for brevity in the document) to deal with more information than their current s ...

ABSTRACT: We will develop a multiscale molecular dynamics/material point method (MD/MPM) methodology for determining the response of PBXs to a wide range of loading conditions as a function of mesoscale structure with emphasis on accurate representation of interfacial physics. The initial material of choice will be HMX + DOA plasticized HTPB binder. Velocity-dependent grain-grain and viscoelastic ...

ABSTRACT: Elimination of the cold chain is of vital importance for the ability to treat injured warfighters in the field and behind enemy lines. The application of an already FDA approved reagent for the stabilization of labile reagents will allow for minimal development time delaying the fielding of a new technology to fill this role. Collagen has been used extensively since the 1980s as an appro ...

ABSTRACT:Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies are bringing significant new capabilities to manufacturing. However, a number of technical challenges remain before these capabilities can be fully exploited. The design, modeling and data management tools developed for subtractive, formative and mold-based manufacturing are not well suited for additive processes that allow pointwise and layerwise ...

ABSTRACT: The research team will specify a data model, database, and preliminary architecture for the Prognostic Scheduling system. A proof-of-concept software demonstration will be developed, including support for database, data mining, data fusion, and prognostic scheduling software capabilities. The data mining capabilities will be deployed to a "Big Data" environment to improve its computation ...

The detection of individual photons, charged particles, neutrons, and atoms and molecules is the basis of a wide range of commercial and scientific applications, including medical imaging and diagnostics, mass spectroscopy, radiation scanners, reactor monitoring, and many scientific disciplines involving imaging such as nuclear, high-energy, and astro-physics. In many of these applications the tim ...

Subscribers to U.S. broadband access networks lack choice in services. EntryPoint and the University of Utah are currently collaborating on a research project to develop and demonstrate a network framework, called SmartEdge, which focuses on creating choice in services by enabling network operators, service providers, and subscribers to coexist on the same shared network infrastructure. The purpos ...

Problem Statement: Well perforations, which have a significant impact on oil and gas production, are routinely performed in the well completion process using shaped-charge jets. Because of the complexity of the perforation process, charge designers rely on expensive experimentation and end-users (operators and service providers) of perforators rely primarily on vendor catalog data to select shaped ...

Problem Statement: The evolution of hydraulic fracturing has enabled development of unconventional natural gas resources that previously would not have been economical. The volume of water required for these operations is a major concern. Industry is actively seeking methods to reduce water usage and increase the amount of gas recovered per unit of water used to stimulate the formation. There is s ...

Statement of the Problem or Situation that is Being Addressed For a gasification based energy system the cost of the air separation unit represents 12 15% of the installed capital costs and requires a significant amount of power resulting in lowered operational efficiencies. Consequently, there is a significant opportunity for lowered capital costs and improved operating efficiencies for new oxyge ...
