As USSOCOM continues to assess the future operating environment, implementing innovative solutions that promote situational awareness (SA) is of increasing importance. While situational awareness can be tied to a variety of data-types impacting a mission, for the purposes of this effort, situational awareness tied to geospatial intelligence will be the focus. When a warfighter enters an operating ...

Additive manufacturing is steadily advancing towards fulfilling its promise of customized and on-demand production of functional parts. However, performance of as-manufactured parts can differ significantly from the as-designed parts because the as-manufactured geometry differs from the as-designed geometry and the as-manufactured material properties are unknown. Attempts to predict performance of ...

Development of a desktop 3D visualization and editing software environment specifically focused on interoperability between Modeling and Simulation (M&S) and Operational (Mission Command/C2I/etc.) domains will be developed to support several consensus and community geospatial standards. The developed software will provide a capability to simultaneously visualize 3D content despite differences in e ...

Cognitics, Inc. and CAE USA propose a solution that integrates crowdsourced and publicly available street-level imagery into a 3D baseline of Human Geography content. The approach leverages existing NGA and SOCOM software architectures developed by CAE, Cognitics, and Lockheed Martin to avoid duplication of software development effort for processing and dissemination of geospatial content, while a ...

We propose to design and implement a query-based approach to interoperable modeling and simulation of composite material structures, that usually contain the manufacturing recipe within their design. In Phase I, we established the feasibility of the approach using a demonstration scenario of CAD/CAE interoperability for assemblies. In Phase II, we propose to develop a series of use-case scenarios ...

"Our Phase I study proved the feasibility of using monofilament carbon tow and thin resistant wire in a glove system to provide an adequate heat source to keep a soldier's hands comfortable in extreme cold temperatures while retaining hand dexterity andtactility. Our objectives during Phase II are to (1) incorporate our heat generation process into a super thin, non-melting, flame-rerardant materi ...

CSA PROPOSES TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A STEADY-STATE SOLUTION FOR THE COMPLETE SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS SOLVED IN EITHER THE TRAC/PF1, TRAC/BD1, OF RELAP5 CODES. THE STEADY-STATE SOLUTION WILL UTILIZE THE STEADY-STATE FORM OF THE MODEL EQUATIONS AND WILL UTILIZE EXISTING EQUATION SOLVERS TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE. ALL TIME-DEPENDENT CONSTITUTIVE AND COMPONENT MODELS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE SOLUTION TO ENSU ...

THE J.P. LANGAN & ASSOCIATES, INC/SENTRY EQUIPMENT CORP. TEAM WILL DEVELOP TWO MODELING METHODS TO ENHANCE ILRT TESTING CONFIDENCE. WE INTEND TO ESTABLISH A MATHEMATICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONTAINMENT SIZE AND THE FREQUENCY DURATION BETWEEN DISCRETEDATA POINTS FOR IDEAL AUTOMATED DATAACOLLECTION AND EVALUATION. WE WILL SUPPORT THE PROPOSED APPENDIX J BY ANALYZING 20 TYPEA AND VERIFICATION TESTS ...

THE ACCIDENT AT TMI DEMONSTRATED THAT LARGE QUANTITIES OF HYDROGEN CAN BE GENERATED AS A RESULT OF ZIRCONIUM-STEAM OXIDATION REACTION, WHICH POSES A HYDROGEN BURN THREAT IN LWR CONTAINMENTS. THE RATES AT WHICH THE CORE HEATS UP AND WHICH HYDROGEN IS GENERATED DEPENDS UPON THE ZIRONIUM-STEAM REACTION RATE, WHICH IN TURN IS INFLUENCED BY LOCAL STEAM SMSTARVATION AND HYDROGEN BLANKETING EFFECTS. THE ...
