"Jaia Robotics’ low-cost, micro-sized hybrid uncrewed surface/underwater vehicles called JaiaBotsTM can be deployed from the shore or vessels. The system enables truly affordable multivehicle operations that can be scaled to provide wide area synoptic data collection. In the proposed effort the project team will develop a JaiaBot which is air-deployable from sonobuoy launch tubes to collect atmo ...

A cloud based system for sharing bathymetric survey data collected by FarSounder customers is proposed as a way(1) to improve safety of navigation on our oceans, (2) to collect measurements for the broader scientific and maritime communities and (3) to generally explore and broadly share information about our oceans in fulfillment of ideas proposed in Topic 9.3 “The Changing Ocean”, and in acc ...

CBC’s HIPS solution is a low-profile, omni-directional wind turbine that can be rapidly deployed and safely emplaced anywhere on an Agile Combat Employment (ACE) airfield without risking aircraft collisions, disrupting radar, nor requiring re-deployment to face the wind. The HIPS makes wind safe, practical, and scalable in ways that traditional wind energy is not.  CBC will conduct an R/R&D fea ...

In 2021, roughly 200,000 veteran medical records were stolen through ransomware cybersecurity attacks.  Combine this with the recent events in September of 2022, where two military doctors were indicted for conspiring to leak medical records to Russia and

Solar Particle Events (SPEs) pose a life safety and mission success threat in the cis-lunar and X-GEO environments that fall under the domain of the United States Space Force, or within the USSF “sphere of interest [that extends to] 272,000 miles and beyo

Scene simulation is an integral component of weapon system research & development, allowing researchers to evaluate new sensor concepts entirely in the digital space as well as drive scene projection during hardware-in-the-loop testing. Unfortunately, research scientists are limited to a small set of available background environments that cover only a few geographic locations.  VSI proposes GEOSI ...

Prescribed burns are a critical aspect of land management, but they require vegetation data that is hard to obtain at high resolution and on the timescale required. Our autonomous UAV collects critical fire modeling variables through subcanopy flight, enabling rapid surveys for faster and safer burn planning. In Phase I, we proved the feasibility of mapping live fuel moisture content (LFMC) with s ...

Increasingly heightened concerns about environmental contaminants necessitates a customizable, accurate, precise, real-time, easily deployable, and flexible yet comprehensive monitoring solution. Critical applications include; Corrosion monitoring;  Situa

Textile scrims can be engineered to function as robust electromechanical sensors capable of measuring strains present in composite bondlines.  During the proposed effort, the project team seeks to optimize and characterize the performance of these strain
