In this proposed D2P2 project, we will rapidly develop a second generation XtruJog machine, XJ-2, to be capable of automatically hot joggling parts with the required joggles at the programmed locations. Self-funded proof-of-concept research has shown that

The Tesseract Smart Space Environment is a collaborative workspace designed to create immersive situational awareness and control over highly desperate information streams. This may include incoming feeds from IoT assets, cameras, sensors, enterprise soft

  This Phase I feasibility study is to develop a mechanically locking, high vibration resistant and reusable fastening solution for aircraft fuel connectors and hydraulic fittings (without the need for safety wire) for critical fluid conveyance system applications on the B-1 and B-2 aircraft and ground support equipment. The proposed technology with its positive locking mechanism will provide for ...

Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), the “forever chemical,” can be found in aqueous film forming foams (AFFF) and serve as surfactants that spread the foam to deoxygenate and suppress the fire quicker than alternatives on the market without these fluorosurfactants. The downside to using these substances are the high cost of maintenance/labor to remove them from drinking water ...

DARcorporation proposes to expand the design of the Multi-Purpose Aerial Vehicle (M-PAV) by exploring the feasibility of hybrid-electric propulsion.  The M-PAV preliminary design and proof of concept flight testing of a SubScale Demonstrator (SSD) vehicle was completed as a part of the AF Explore 1.0 project sponsored by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Transformational Capabilities ...

Electrochemistry-based sensors have been shown to provide reliable, rugged, low-cost solutions for analyte detection. Common uses for electrochemical sensors are smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, industrial gas sensors, and insulin monitors. However, e

In this project, Arktonics proposes to develop monolithically integrated GeSn photodetectors on Si for high performance IR imaging sensors.  The proposed sensing materials, GeSn semiconducting alloys, have spectral sensitivity that could cover a broad wavelength range from SWIR, MWIR, to LWIR.  The GeSn sensor array could be manufactured using standard IC industry techniques for high volume pro ...

Evaluate a rapid and effective aircraft and facilities biological decontamination option to benefit the 22nd Air Refueling Wing using a non-traditional chemistry that is proven highly effective as a hospital grade disinfectant without the human and enviro

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant health issue which affects service members and veterans during times of both peace and war. The high rate of TBI and blast-related concussion events resulting from current combat operations directly impacts th

    Ensuring superior, cutting-edge warfighting capabilities requires rethinking fundamental technologies that have been utilized for decades. Safety wiring to prevent fastener and fitting disconnections in difficult environments is a cumbersome process t
