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 ...

"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 shock mitigating suspended seat, which places the Special Forces Operator in an optimal ergonomic position, will be developed for use in the NSW 11M RIB. It will feature a semi-actively controlled shock absorber to optimize the suspension for a broadrange of operator weights and sea states. In the Phase I effort, a conceptual design and architecture for both control hardware and software was d ...

The development of a hardware module for installation in DRT Receiver hardware to allow for the real-time detection and identification of FH and DSSS spread spectrum signals using the FDDM algorithm developed under Phase I.

The proposed Phase I work is to develop soft pack lithium polymer batteries with high energy density (>175 Wh/kg) and superior temperature performance. Ultralife has been engaged in lithium polymer battery research, development and manufacturing since1996. Ultralife has achieved several milestones in improving lithium polymer battery performance over the past year. The current Ultralife 3410610 ...

In the Phase I of the proposed effort, IEM will produce an innovative automatic CW Morse Code system which will operate on a HF radio. The proposed system will be low power, small, light weight and useable by typical personnel. IEM will perform anexhaustive search for all components to look for suitable COTS solutions. Innovative approaches, designs, and solutions will then be combined with COTS s ...

More than 6,000,000 auto accidents occur in the U.S. each year, with about one third resulting in injury and 40,000 resulting in fatality. Approximately thirteen percent of these crashes involve pedestrians. A much broader group of generalized roadway obstacles including pedestrians, other automobiles and non-fixed objects, is responsible for over ninety percent of the accidents. A reasonably p ...

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 ...
