Determination of new roadway alignments together with the acquisition of right of way needed to support these alignments is a complex multidisciplinary process. This process is further complicated when these decisions require consideration of potential for natural and environmental hazards. Analytical tools are needed to consider alternatives and to make meaningful cost benefit trades. These to ...

The primary objective of this Phase II Proposal is to design and develop a fully functional prototype software system to support mission critical business intelligence information by applying data-mining, analysis, and decision support systems to the JointMilitary Asset Repository (JMAR). The JMAR data warehouse contains comprehensive and timely information with respect to the location, movement, ...

As the personnel demands of a more complex Soldier System increase due to changing operational requirements and advances in technology, measurement and evaluation of performance within these systems becomes vital to ensure cost-effective, combat-effectivefunction of the system (de Pontbriand et al., 2001). The proposed research initially aims to evaluate current cognitive assessment tools, identif ...

The proposed innovation is a deicing system for aircraft leading edges using a high-efficiency, electrically actuated thin-film elastomer. The entire aircraft industry needs this technology to improve safety while minimizing the overall impact on aircraft weight and fuel consumption. We propose to use a low-cost, electrically actuated thin-film elastomer to break the ice bond in a manner similar ...

"Motion sickness has long been a problem during the deployment of military forces. The increased speed and agility of today's transports makes this problem even more acute. For the special forces who undertake rapid insertions using a variety of vehiclesin all weather, the incidence of motion sickness can compromise the mission and endanger lives. Despite intensive research, there are still no ...

"PCI proposes into topic Area 2 to develop and demonstrate a JP-8 micro-reformer capable of delivering the hydrogen required for a 20 We Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) from a catalytic reactor which is expected to be ~1 in3 (size of 2 standard AA batteries)and weighing

"The primary objective of this proposal is to identify critical data mining and analytical tools and emerging technologies and methodologies that can be used to improve the entire military medical logistics/supply chain management. In addition, as part ofthis research and analysis, Premise Development Corporation will demonstrate the feasibility of creating modern and user-friendly "dashboards" ...
