The US Army and other DOD forces occasionally need to breach reinforced concrete structures. There are several existing methods to assess the structural properties and predict reinforcement but each of these methods has specific deficiencies (e.g. to loud, too large, too inconsistent). Ground penetrating radar is a promising technology for non-destructive concrete substructure characterization but ...

State-of-the-art power electronics use discrete components such as power magnetic inductors and transformers operating at < 1MHz, which suffer from a large SWAP-C (size, weight, power consumption, and cost). It has been challenging to achieve simultaneously high inductance, compact size, and high quality factors at 1~300MHz for integrated power electronics. In the completed Phase II Army STTR Phas ...

Global migration reached a staggering record of over 280 million migrants in 2020, a number that has almost quadrupled over the past 60 years. The share of the world’s population that are migrants has also markedly increased, now nearing 4% of the global population. As these numbers continue to rise, it is increasingly unsustainable for researchers in the population migration modeling (PMM) comm ...

Optical detection of objects hidden behind opaque layers is a challenging problem. As such, Person-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (PB-IEDs) underneath clothing continue to be a persistent threat to the military and law enforcement communities. Safe stand-off detection in crowds is needed for the confirmation, identification, and neutralization of PB-IEDs. Technologies previously investigated i ...

High performance underwater operation with low probability of detection in challenging areas can provide significant value across many naval missions. There is an ongoing desire for greater range, endurance, and speed for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). Bio-informed UUV designs offer potential improvements, particularly in swimming speed. Boston Engineering is proud to offer “bio-robotics c ...
