Award Data

The Naval Aviation Training Systems and Ranges program office (PMA-205) operates in data-rich information system environments, generating substantial volumes of data throughout its training and operational missions. These datasets can prove extremely useful in identifying performance trends of trainees or operational gaps in aviation assets. Due to sheer magnitude, sifting and analyzing of these d ...

Systems Visions LLC (dba SYVI) and its partners Auburn University and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) propose “Hybrid Integration of Photonics and Cryogenic Electronics with Magnetic Shielding (HIPCEMS)”, an effort to develop a scalable heterogeneous packaging plan that results in extreme energy efficiency information transfer at high data rates and low bit error rate of digit ...

Aircrafts operated by the US Navy/Marine Corps have to endure harsh environmental conditions, with erosion from Foreign Object Debris such as sand particles being a prime concern. The aeroengines ingest loose sand, which impinges on the engine components and damages the metal, ceramic, and composite materials. Erosion phenomena are complicated due to the wide operating space but can be efficiently ...

Advancements in electronic warfare driven by sophisticated sensors and weapons are pushing shipboard power distribution systems to higher voltage, more power dense solutions. Reduced cost and increased flexibility necessitate solutions that are rapidly scalable and are characterized by longer life and lower maintenance. These objectives are in conflict, as increased power density reduces life and ...

In this Phase I project, Oceanit will design a self-healing computing system for use on Navy vessels to keep a ship's primary functions operational in combat should the original computing system be damaged during an attack.

Active Flow Control (AFC) systems require a compressed air source.  Candent is proposing to use its extensive turbomachinery experience and technology to design a high efficiency air compressor with proper flow and pressure ratio to meet the STTR requirements, including expected operational environments (ambient air temperature and pressure, sand and dirt). Candent will utilize its advanced compr ...

HySonic Technologies, founded by Dr. Carlo Scalo, addresses this call by combining its capabilities in design of acoustically absorptive high-temperature materials with Dr. Carson Slabaugh’s (Purdue University) well-established expertise in designing and testing of Rotating Detonation Combustors (RDC) at various scales. HySonic’s history in the design of acoustically absorptive material relies ...

This expansion effort will enable SoarTech to harden the C-CHAT prototype for use during field exercises and increase the current 4 TRL to a 7 TRL. Working with partners at the USMC Field Medical Training Battalion (FMTB) and the University of Central Florida (UCF), we will enhance C-CHAT to run as a stand-alone application on a DoD-approved Android smartphone (e.g., the Samsung Galaxy S20 Tactica ...

According to the Joint Commission, approximately 70% of sentinel events in medical care are related to communication mishaps, and despite regular and frequent occurrence, poor communication during patient handoffs (i.e., transfer of patient care information, responsibility, and authority from one provider to another) remains a major contributor to medical errors (Nether, 2017; The Joint Commission ...

The twenty-first century has seen a global rise in bacterial infections exhibiting antimicrobial-resistance (AMR). More than ninety percent of chronic wounds contain microbial biofilms that exhibit AMR, and the bacteria responsible for several of these recalcitrant infections are called ESKAPEE pathogens. Eradicating ESKAPEE pathogenic infections is challenging, but bacteriophage (phage) therapy i ...
