For Phase 2, Diffraction proposes to develop a small, lightweight, low profile, battery powered multi-spectral combat ID beacon. The beacon will output enough energy in the mid wave infrared (MWIR) bands to be visible to nearly all US and allied targetin

"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)

Our goal is to develop a single device or modular group of devices weighing less than three pounds that can provide all of the functionality required for individual dismounted special forces for surveillance, small arms fire control, and tactical network connectivity. This challenge requires expertise not only in each of the individual modules for day sights, night vision, range finding, GPS, com ...

Dimishing urchin stocks and harvests in the Gulf of Maine and poor recruitment has made the option of establishing sea urchin hatcheries attractive for aquaculture and possible stock enhancement. A hatchery to produce juvenile sea urchins for grow out and out planting to aquaculture lease sites has been established. The purpose of this project is to improve the efficiency of production and refine ...

In general, the composition of milk changes quite substantially with season, but the timing and magnitude of compositional changes can vary greatly depending on host of factors relating to environmental conditions, animal health, feed quality, management practices, etc. The extent to which seasonal changes in milk composition negatively impact cheese quality depends on the nature and magnitude of ...
