A Novel, Microscale, Distributable Sensor Technology for Ionizing Radiation
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: DTRA14B004Terrorist use of radioactive nuclear materials via nuclear and/or radiological dispersion devices (dirty bombs) is a serious threat. Therefore, it is crucial to detect proliferation of nuclear material. Critical challenges include: (a) high sensitivity detection of signature emissions from radioactive isotopes, and (b) cost-effectiveness for deployment of sensor networks across large storage facil ...

Real-Time Validation of Machine Intelligence Controlling Unmanned Vehicle Autonomous Operations
SBC: XL SCIENTIFIC LLC Topic: N18BT032To realize the full potential of autonomous systems, it is imperative that they behave safely, correctly, ethically, and legally. Providing these assurances through offline verification alone is insufficient, due to the complex and changing nature of autonomous systems. Online monitoring and corrective actions are necessary to account for uncertainties, and to increase trust between a human superv ...

Atomic Triaxial Magnetometer
SBC: SOUTHWEST SCIENCES INC Topic: N19AT006Improved magnetic anomaly detection can counter threats from quieter submarines and mines. This Phase I STTR project will address this goal using improved atomic magnetometry methods based on pumping alignment coherence in rubidium vapor. A means of changing the polarization of the pump light will ensure that atomic coherence can be pumped in any orientation of the magnetic field. Multiple probe b ...

Power Dense Turbo-Compression Cooling Driven by Waste Heat
SBC: MANTEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: N19AT013The U.S. Navy seeks methods to improve the fuel economy of marine diesel engines through utilization of waste heat. Low temperature engine jacket water, lubrication oil, and aftercooler air are largely untapped streams of thermal energy on these ships, but their utilization circumvents many operation challenges associated with exhaust gases. For example, variable and high exhaust gas temperatures ...

Quench Monitoring and Control System for High-Temperature Superconducting Coils
SBC: ADVANCED CONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: N19AT016The Navy has been developing superconducting systems, based on high-temperature superconductors (HTS), for future use on Navy ships. One of the challenges associated with superconducting magnets is the possibility of a quench, which is an event where a local hot spot develops within the superconductor that quickly spreads throughout the device, driving it into its normal and dissipative state. Sen ...
