High performance underwater operation with low probability of detection in challenging areas can provide significant value across many naval missions. There is an ongoing desire for greater range, endurance, and speed for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). Bio-informed UUV designs offer potential improvements, particularly in swimming speed. Boston Engineering is proud to offer “bio-robotics c ...

This program will develop and demonstrate a novel modular, continuous synthesis platform that can be rapidly reconfigured to produce multiple classes of energetic materials. Continuous synthesis of energetic materials has clear safety advantages, but current approaches are slow to realize due to long process development timelines. The proposed program will develop a system integration and control ...

One of the key challenges for predicting, understanding and assessing causes of global population migration is finding the right data, cleaning that data, and having the right methods to access the data. Like most data science problems, this challenge is being addressed by scientists across academia and the private sector by creating new datasets and mining existing open source data to develop mod ...

The increasing incidence of population migration due to human-caused crises, such as wars or civil strife, or from environmental causes, such as droughts, fires, and other natural disasters, can have significant impacts on DoD interests with implications for humanitarian assistance/disaster relief (HA/DR) operations and stabilization efforts. These changing population dynamics can exacerbate alrea ...

A critical step in the extraction of elements from ore, especially rare earth elements that are found in complex minerals, is separation. Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry. The particles with attached air bubbles are then ca ...
