"Rising sea levels and king tide flooding in coastal areas across America are saturating onsite wastewater disposal systems (OSDS), resulting in the degradation of coastal ecosystems and 200,000+ illnesses annually. Many States are mandating system upgrades, with 88,000 upgrades required by 2050 in Hawaii alone. Unfortunately, existing upgrade options are unaffordable for 97% of Hawaiian homeowner ...

Oceanit proposes the design, construction, and testing of a hyperspectral imaging equipped Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for the detection of various coral species and the monitoring of coral health. This system will be the prototype for the sensor part of a robust, COTS-based UAS system to aid the NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program. Different coral families and species will be identified ...

Temperature is the critical signal that allows monitoring of a myriad of Earth’s processes. From direct measurements of wildfire and urban heat to more complex relationships with drought, agriculture, aquaculture, and biodiversity, maintaining a steady pulse on Earth’s surface temperature enables us to mitigate for and adapt to the impacts of extreme events and increasingly variable water avai ...

The brevetoxins (PbTx) produced by Karenia brevis cause harmful algal blooms (HAB) or "red tide" in seawater. Currently, the only available ways of detecting PbTx are laboratory tests such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, which are expensive and slow, and require complex instrumentation and multiple processing steps. In previous work Intelligent Optical Systems (IOS) demonstrated a compact l ...

ISAM missions to date require multi-year development timelines and high NRE costs, particularly in the selection, procurement, integration, and testing of mission-specific rendezvous, proximity operations and docking (RPOD) computing hardware and sensing

The Transponder Landing System (TLS) developed by ANPC is a precision approach guidance and surveillance system designed to provide all-weather airfield access and situational awareness for improved airport accessibility and safety. The TLS provides the c

The desired outcome of this grant proposal is to develop an integrated noise dosing system for helmets. It would create a way to measure the amount of exposure every Airman has on every mission, every time. If this exposure could be identified and correct

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has plainly shown the vulnerabilities inherent in the global commercial cellular network, and how those vulnerabilities can be exploited for intelligence or kinetic purposes. Both sides of the conflict have used cell phone loc

The Technical Problem: The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) and the broader Department of Defense (DOD) require operational agility that can only be achieved through the implementation of Software Defined Weapon Systems. In today's modern systems,
