This Phase II project goal is to develop solutions that improve the fuel efficiency of Amphibious Vehicles. Amphibious vehicles operate on the leading edge of an assault and in environments where ongoing access to fuel is limited. More efficient fuel usage will also enable longer mission durations and increased operating ranges. The goal is to reduce fuel usage over the Amphibious Vehicle mission ...

The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is changing the earths climate. Climate change will cause periods of extremely high daily temperatures, increase the frequency of heavy rainfall, intensify droughts, increase the maximum wind speed of cyclones, and cause sea levels to rise. The unavailability of low-cost, high-performance atmospheric carbon dioxide analyzers constrai ...

ABSTRACT:Aviation near volcanic plumes is dangerous because aircraft engines can be damaged if they ingest airborne ash and aerosols.Knowing the forecast location of an ash plume will improve aviation safety while reducing engine maintenance costs.Ash forecast models are immature.To improve their accuracy we have conducted research with volcanologists at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) re ...

ABSTRACT: In ISR applications, multiple sensors can be employed to achieve more accurate parameters of interest on targets, improving discrimination and detection. But, the proliferation of sensor systems has created a large volume of multi-sensor data across a number of physical spectra. These resulting measurements can be so disparate that traditional aggregation methods perform poorly given h ...

PEI is proposing to develop and produce a modular, low maintenance and cost-effective shower stalls for the Navy. The effort will design and fabricate shower stalls that require least number of standardized components, are adaptable to different shapes and sizes with optimum space utilization, possess high watertight integrity, quick and easy to install with little or no wastage of materials, are ...
