In order to provide a best of both world solution to the Army which provides the simplicity, reliability and cost effectiveness of a torsion bar suspension system with the flexibility and adjustment of a more costly and complex HSU system, GS Engineering will develop an in-vehicle torsion bar adjustment device. Leveraging decades of military tracked vehicle suspension expertise and starting with t ...

TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: The objective of this project is to research the technical feasibility of designing a software tool “Permit Wizard” that will automate the process for aquamarine permit application submittal, review, approval/disapproval and issue (including collection of fees). Aquaculture producers are currently faced with slow, complex, and often confusing permitting processes that must ...

TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: InnovaPrep proposes to develop a rapid sample-to-answer monitoring system for detecting pathogens in marine aquaculture waters. An assessment of industry needs will include a kickoff meeting with NOAA and a visit to Toby Island Bay Oyster Farm. Following the assessment and report, a TRL-4 breadboard prototype system will be developed that will include the combination of sample ...

PME proposes the RIHT Target (pronounced Right), the Resettable, Interactive, Human-Type Target. The RIHT Target follows a product line approach leveraging a series of systems that combine to provide a more realistic target experience for live-fire training environments. Specifically, PME will architect the flexibility of form factor and the technology content options from the beginning of the des ...

Seated aircrew members rely on their five-point harnesses to position their bodies correctly within their seats in order to provide the best chance of survivability during a rapid deceleration event. The current system requires the user to adjust each of five straps manually in order to correctly position the central rotary buckle in such a way to minimize potential internal injuries. For a variet ...

Baker Engineering Inc. (BEI) proposes researching and developing a reliable sequential turbocharger system for a typical 2.0l class aviation compression-ignition engine with a maximum power of 180hp at sea level which is capable of providing 108hp at an altitude of 30,000-ft. With emphasis on durability and performance at altitude, research will be conducted on turbocharger construction, bearing s ...

To reduce size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-c), military platforms have been evolving towards more integrated platforms that utilize all available space. For radiating systems, this will require exploring innovative design methods, materials and manufacturing approaches to realize cost-effective, customizable and conformal antennas. An attractive solution to this challenge is offered by additive ...

Controlled guidance of small-caliber gun-fired munitions is currently limited by the severity of inertial loads from the launch event, which can be 60,000g in small-caliber munitions. There is a need for more robust mechanical guidance-control systems in small-caliber munitions that can provide substantial control authority while being able to survive extreme launch loads.Compliant mechanisms, act ...

This project aims to develop a low-cost millimeter-wave (mmW) imaging system for ground vehicles, to operate in combination with a long-wave infrared (LWIR) camera. Such a system will mitigate the challenges of driving in degraded visual environments (DVE) including night time, fog, dust, or smoke by providing real-time image of the vehicle surrounding independent from the presence of naturally oc ...

Sonalysts will develop the Authorship and Intent Recognition Environment (AIRE), an adaptive platform that provides automated and semi-automated analyses for Information Operations (IO) based on textual information and other data sources. AIRE will use a variety of analytical techniques, including Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods, as well more explainable methods such ...
