Award Data

Low or narrow bridges are often hit by legal-sized commercial vehicles and oversize vehicles often strike regulation bridges. In both cases the accidents result in extensive property damage, possible personal injuries and even death, and increased traffic congestion. Past attempts to warn drivers of risks for bridge hits have failed due to inaccurate measurement, high rates of false alarms, or s ...

Job related injuries cost the railroads over $1 billion annually and from 2005 through 2008 30.3% of those injuries occurred in the rail yard. A majority of the accidents were attributed to slips, trips and falls from the worker slipping on ballast or tripping on other trackside objects. IEM is developing a Transportation Autonomous Device that may be configured to work autonomously, with a remote ...

NanoPlatelets (NPs) created of metal hydroxides present entirely new and previously unknown set of morphologes/properties and are a virtually new frontier and unstudied field of Material Science and may be leveraged into many of todays DoD and Comercial Technical Challenges and applications. Case in point is SOCOM's Defense Mitigation and Decontamination of military aircraft and equipment and ...

"SSSC is pleased to propose the development and delivery of a Hostile Fire Indication Sensor (HFIS) based on the Phase I design concept. The resulting system will limit the number of circuit card assemblies to two: one for the short wave infrared (SWIR)

A developmental effort for an integrated video conferencing communications architecture is proposed that is designed to provide reliable multimedia communications from the SOF tactical user to garrison. It will be designed to provide an integrated video conferencing capability to SOF for existing communications applications as well as the addition of telemedicine and distance learning. The Phase ...

Military breath-hold divers are at risk for shallow water blackout. We plan to develop a Diver Monitoring System that will warn the diver when he is a risk of losing consciousness. The system will monitor the diver's blood oxygen level and dive profile so that the warning provides the diver with sufficient time to ascend to the surface. The technology developed under this program will not only ...

A PROOF-OF-CONCEPT PROJECT SHOWING FEASIBILITY OF A SEMIAUTOMATIC SYSTEM INTEGRATING ILS, MLS AND EN ROUTE NAVIGATION FOR LIGHT AIRCRAFT IS PROPOSED. THE PURPOSE OF THE SYSTEM IS TO INCREASE NAVIGATION PRESISION AND S D SIMPLICITY, ESPECIALLY IN THE RNAV AND MLS ENVIRONMENTS. THESYSTEM WOULD ALSO ENHANCE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CAPACITY, REDUCE PILOT WORKLOAD, AND IMPROVE SAFETY MARGINS. INFORMATION W ...
