In Phase II of PLATO, we will develop a prototype plan and goal identification system that employs a rich model of domain actions and events, extracted automatically from a massive amount of real-world domain-relevant information, to model agent-specific action costs and to process sequences of agent actions and events, extracted from text, as an agent plan in progress. The system will be able to ...

Neutron coincidence counters are currently based on 3H technology. A worldwide 3He shortage plus the need for significant improvements in performance necessitate the development of a new class of neutron detectors. We propose the use of boron-coated straw

This solicitation represents a tremendous opportunity to bring state-of-the-art human performance and nutrition technology to the US Navy in a format that meets very specific Navy requirements. As the nation’s leading provider of human performance assessment technology, CoachMePlus is ideally suited to develop a best-of-breed solution for the Navy. We currently work with over 220 professional an ...

Conventional Li-ion batteries (LIBs) with unique high-energy advantages, exhibit a limited cycle life (200 Wh/kg, cycle life > 6,000 cycles, low self-discharge rate

Lynntech has developed an innovative mask-on hypoxia training device based on electrochemical oxygen separation to deliver representative pressure-on-demand flow rates to increase hypoxia training fidelity by replicating the air delivery method of aircraft systems. Based on on-going research being conducted, Lynntech’s On-Demand Hypoxia Trainer (ODHT) has demonstrated that additional novel advan ...

Navy aircraft components require constant repair due to damage from field operations. In most cases, the damage is due to maintenance occurrences or service, due to Foreign Object Debris (FOD). Although the damage appears to be minor, the components need to be sent back to a Navy depot for disposition and repair, which is usually comprised of blending away the damage and substantially reducing the ...

Superconducting radio-frequency receivers, optical absorption energy sensors, and quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize digital communications for manned aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, (UAVs) and satellites. Development of low size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) cryocooler technology is essential since these communication systems must operate at cryogenic temperatures. Turb ...

The promise of fully integrated simulation-based design has not yet been realized.This is due in large part to the lack of robust tools and infrastructure.The proposed work covers the initial development of a kernel and user interface for isogeometric analysis (IGA).New advances have been made and will be integrated into the kernel and interface.The proposed tasks include integration of a new spli ...

In Phase I, initial CONOPS and architecture analysis was performed at an unclassified level to inform the multi-static image exploitation portion of this study and to support operational viability. Additionally, the Osprey tug was electromagnetically modeled and techniques established for end-to-end generation of realistic monostatic & bistatic EM scattering for ships embedded in the ocean with mo ...
