Research, development, and implementation of Single Surface High Altitude Low Opening (HALO) canopies offer the Marines Corps an opportunity to design and develop an optimized parachute that reduces manufacturing and overall canopy complexities, results in a significantly lighter weight parachute, and reduces packing volume due to reduced material requirements (based on similar sized traditional p ...

RwM Resilient takes Redwall Technologies commercially-available multi-level mobile security solution, Redwall Mobile (RwM), to a new level by layering resilience into its operation. RwM represents the best in class protection for operating systems like Android and provides our patent pending method of combining cryptographic and temporal separation, which may be the only certain way to securely se ...

Identifying and resolving organizational inefficiencies often requires hiring external consultants. The capabilities of collaborative crowdsourcing, however, provide an opportunity for organizations to leverage their own employees to achieve this task. We propose the development of GECKOS (Generating Employee Crowdsourced Knowledge for Organizational Solutions), a tool that integrates a wide range ...

To facilitate amphibious assault operations, the Marines need to quickly move amphibious combat vehicles (ACVs) between ships and the shore. However, due to an increased level of sophistication in the anti-ship weapons available to potential adversaries, Navy ships must remain far from shore during assault operations (i.e., many tens of miles). This creates a need for assault vehicles that can ach ...

The Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) Joint Tactical Radio (JTRS) is a four-channel, software-programmable radio having up to eight Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs) that determine the functionality of the unit. The SRUs consist of electronics cards mounted in a sealed structure and secured in the chassis using standard wedge locks. Currently, the available heat rejection from the ...

The United States Navy has identified a need for a tool to assist the training of Landing SignalOfficers (LSOs) that provides visualization and analysis of data from embarked carrier landings.BGI, LLC (BGI) has proposed a solution for training LSOs by leveraging the existing CarrierVisualization After-Action Review (AAR) product to create a Landing Signal Officer-DataAnalysis Toolkit (LSO-DAT) tha ...

Development of nanolayer polymer films demonstrated a new class of dielectric film materials for high energy density and high temperature capacitor applications. Current state-of-the-art biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) dielectric films are limited by low dielectric constant (e = 2.25), low energy density and deteriorated high temperature performance. In contrast, multilayer film technology ...

In order to achieve sharp, high resolution real-time imaging, electrons in a MeV UEM (ultrafast electron microscope) beamline need to minimize instabilities energy spread during generation and acceleration- The stability of the normal conducting photocathode gun which is currently used to produce short electron bunches has been one of main elements limiting the further improvement of beam instabil ...

X-ray focusing optics regardless of the technology requires extremely high precision of manufacturing, metrology and operational stability- As the x-ray beam is being transported to the experimental area distortions due to misalignments, imperfection of optics, etc- add up and result in beam quality degradation: broadening, appearance of tails and aberrations- Recently it became possible, using pt ...

Unlike traditional Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM) Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (UED) and Microscopy (UEM) operate at higher electron energies to preserve the high quality electron beam required for unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution- This however forces stringent requirements on electron- optical components- In particular a set of high field (2 Tesla) solenoids acting as cond ...
