We propose to develop a low SWaP, portable microwave Rb-87 cold atomic clock using pulsed coherent population trapping (CPT). The SWaP goal is to achieve a volume of

Our objective is to develop, demonstrate, and evaluate a prototype feature-based navigation and localization system for miniature Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) that meets the performance requirements for these systems yet provides a drastic reduction in size, weight, power, and cost requirements over current solutions. The proposed method utilizes a micro mechanically scanned imaging sonar ( ...

The primary goal of this proposed effort is to develop mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) colloidal quantum dot (CQD)-based focal plane arrays (FPAs) to significantly reduce the cost of MWIR photon imagers. In order to realize this goal, it will first be nec

The overall goal of this Phase II project is to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed OPTIMA technology through modeling, design optimization, and experimental demonstration of the accelerometer prototype. During the Phase II, we plan to continue th

A team at EP Purification has performed research for the development and commercialization of low-cost microchannel plasma reactor modules capable of efficiently producing ozone for water treatment and other environmental applications in a slim form factor and size. The conservation of water resources for human consumption is a growing national priority. Ozone is a unique purification agent as it ...

NEI Corporation proposes to develop a new and sustainable aqueous electrolyte-based lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery system that is capable of delivering high energy density, comparable to state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries. Almost all commercial Li-ion batteries use an organic electrolyte, which is flammable and has been a concern particularly in large format Li-ion batteries. In addition, there are t ...
