The Tailorable Universal Feedstock for Forming (TuFF) material and process overcomes previous short fiber alignment challenges with alignment quality sufficient to fully translate composite properties equivalent to continuous fiber composites with the in-plane stretchability like metal. This STTR project will focus on dispersion and spillway optimization to improve throughput allowing production r ...

In this Phase II STTR effort PSI will team with University of Delaware to develop advanced electro-optic (EO) sensing module that are capable of efficiently up-converting millimeter-wave (mmW) signal into optical sidebands for low-cost passive mmW imaging applications. Conversion efficiency of the modulators will be significantly enhanced by leveraging thin-film Lithium niobate on insulator (TFLNO ...

Oceanit proposes a Phase II project to create a highly effective end-to-end technology solution that mitigates the threats that ransomware poses to computer memory systems.

In this Phase I Project, Oceanit will implement a decentralized and distributed blockchain security solution on the vehicle network to enable incorruptable and resilient communications.

The U.S. Army GVSC continues utilizing Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) communication standards for embedded systems in the Army's manned, unmanned, electric, and autonomous vehicles (EVs, UGVs, UAVs). The existing CAN Bus security solutions require the hardware add-on and a centralized security measure, creating a single point of failure. InfoBeyond advocates VehChain: Blockchain Cryptography De ...

Immune health has been implicated in COVID-19 progression and severe clinical outcomes. Recent studies suggest differences in mortality to COVID-19 may originate from individual variability in immune health, which is in part regulated by the plasticity/diversity of lymphocytes that is shaped by immunoepigenetic-gut microbiome interactions. Epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, regulat ...

The Objective of this STTR project is to develop the Autonomous Vehicle Simulation Platform (AVSP). AVSP will virtually test how teams of autonomous interconnected wheeled and tracked ground vehicles operating on various kinds of deformable terrains interact with each other and their environment. AVSP will simulate the input from various sensors carried by the vehicles including cameras, Lidar, ra ...

Vibrant Corporation and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) propose to apply Process Compensated Resonance Testing (PCRT) to the DLA's need for an NDI method to detect counterfeit, nonconforming and improperly processed materiel. PCRT collects and analyzes the resonance frequencies of a component to detect structural defects, characterize material, analyze population variation, monitor manufacturin ...
