ABSTRACT:Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) havebeen the most dynamic growth sector of the aerospace industry this decade and it is projected to double overthe next decade. The most significant catalyst has been the enormous growth of interest in UAVs by the US military, tied to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the general trend towards information warfare and net-centric systems. UAVs ar ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Traumatic brain injury TBI is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality especially when complicated by secondary insults such as hypotension Vulnerability of TBI patients to hypotension is well recognized and identifies a key need for new approaches The goal of this proposal is to develop to IND a neuroprotective hyper colloid oxygen therapeutic polynit ...

ABSTRACT:In the Phase I effort, IFT proposed a Holistic networking Infrastructure for tactical Satellite Communication Networks (HISCoN). It supports optimal network resource management and cross-layer cooperation that allow satellite communication networks to intelligently accommodate the communication needs of various missions/tasks with diverse traffic characteristics and drastically different ...

ABSTRACT:The overall objective of this effort is to develop technologies that extend sustainment modeling and simulation capabilities to support improved investment decisions throughout the weapon system lifecycle.Specifically, the main objective of this proposed Phase II research effort is to develop the concept for a new simulation capability that enhances, combines and integrates simulation too ...

User Systems, Inc (USI) is developing the Unusual Activity or Inactivity Detector (UAID) to automatically search a time series of SAR imagery of a given location to find areas of interest. Changes between consecutive image pairs and movers in the scene ar

ABSTRACT:Exquadrum, Inc. proposes to develop an innovative and advanced, low-cost, high-performance, cryogenic upper stage engine cycle.The SLATE engine is a modified dual-bleed expander cycle that maintains state of the art performance while enabling significantly reduced weight, size, and cost, increased reliability, improved operability, and scalability.The engine cycle enables lower pump disch ...

Cell-free platforms are a disruptive technology that can dramatically speed up the design-build-test cycle of biomolecular engineering. However, most currently available cell-free platforms are optimized for protein expression rather than for prototyping. Synvitrobio proposes to develop and commercialize a next-generation cell-free platform that allows for rapid, low-cost, high-throughput, and rep ...

Both military and law enforcement are showing increasing interest in a wider array of Non-Lethal Weapons such as Active Denial Technology (ADT). Such systems require electrical power for their high power millimeter-wave generating RF sources. Currently not available, a compact efficient prime power system is an enabling technology as future ADT systems look towards new, more compact solid state RF ...

While supporting critical operations, service members need the confidence to know when their assets will arrive. Too often, when our countrymen are deployed, they are left guessing when and where their stuff is located. This makes it near impossible to adequately plan a mission, when the commander cannot be sure that they will be able to deliver a capability. The Transportation Exploitation Tool ( ...
