With hypersonic research becoming increasingly relevant, as viable technologies encroach on these speeds, heightened emphasis is being placed on effective methodologies of simulating hypersonic airflows. Specifically, Ludwieg Tubes have distinguished themselves as an effective and economical way to emulate hypersonic flow. In attempt to further increase their utility, researchers are seeking innov ...

Production of hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN) and hydroxyethyl hydrazine nitrate (HEHN) is of great concern for the manufacture of AF-315E. Current stockpiles of heritage ingredients held by AFRL are being depleted and those manufacturers are no longer in exi

The Interdisciplinary Consulting Corporation (IC2) in partnership with the University of Florida, proposes to develop and standardize a novel, high-frequency dynamic pressure sensor calibration method and system for sensors used in the measurement of high speed flows. The proposed innovation is a novel calibration method combined with modified and repurposed measurement hardware to enable calibra ...

Training can now delivered on a large scale through platforms, but must be engaging to be effectively utilized. Key to providing training that makes a difference in the field is an understanding of how to induce high levels or engagement during learning, and the ability to objectively assess engagement in real-time so that interventions can be tailored during training to optimize engagement and m ...

The limits of high-performance aircraft continue to be pushed, requiring more capacity from thermal management systems as hydraulic, mechanical, and pneumatic power systems are replaced with electrical components. Rejecting this heat to the fuel can lead to composition changes and the production of insolubles and surface deposits via pyrolysis and oxidation at elevated fuel temperatures, especiall ...

Recent technology advances have enabled the simulation community to achieve greater realism in virtual training environments. As new methods for synthetic image generation are developed, the lack of readily available supporting data to populate these specialized techniques limits their implementation. Currently the capability is not available to efficiently generate enhanced temporal energy maps ...

Fuel is critical to any military operation. Preserving fuel that is stored and transported to the battlefield is critical to maintaining a high level of operational effectiveness. Fuel convoys and storage facilities are particularly vulnerable to attack, and in the event of such an occurrence, the fuel must be recovered to mitigate the negative effects this disturbance. Fuel that has been compromi ...

Capability and flexibility for interconnection of advanced weapons and other payloads on recent and next generation aircraft combat platforms is significantly limited by the available data throughput paths and associated capacities of legacy data and other signal transfer technologies in current platform/payload interfaces.Reserved fiber optic provisions in these interfaces, if appropriately defin ...

Current and future explosive munition weapon systems development relies heavily on explosives detonation performance characterization and computational hydro-code simulation research conducted by DoD and DoE research communities. This work in turn relies

Securboration would like to propose designing and building the prototype, Reusable Analytics in a DataLake Environment (RAiDLE), for performing mission-success oriented analytical tasks that are portable, policy-negotiable and interoperable across differe
