Our proposal is constructed around a mature, government-owned, distributed simulation architecture known as Joint Force Operational Readiness Combat Effectiveness Simulator (JFORCES) and a proven three-step computer-aided methodology known as Rapid Relational Modeling (RRM). The proposal includes definition, structuring and prioritizing of project goals and requirements using consensus of end-use ...

Aerotonomy, Incorporated (AI) and subcontractor Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) will apply the latest knowledge in circulation control and piezo-electric synthetic (zero net mass flux) jet actuators (SJAs) to develop a practical small UAV with no hinged control surfaces. In the area of flow control, low jet momentum coefficient SJAs have been used primarily as a mechanism to keep flow atta ...

A system based on multiparameter fiber optic grating sensors is proposed that is capable of measuring multi-axis strain, pressure and temperature and axial strain and temperature simultaneously. These capabilities enable a system that is uniquely qualified to performed damage state analysis on structures.

The goal of this effort is to grow n and p ZnO thin films by MOCVD on ZnO substrates. The primary objective of this phase I effort will be to grow p-n homojucntion and characterize the LED structure. Bandgap of ZnO will be engineered and heterojunction quantum wells will be grown. The grown device structures will be characterized for structure and quality by X-ray, PL and electron microscopy, The ...

The goal of this program is to develop ZnO based light emitters fabricated on high quality ZnO bulk substrates. The work will focus on enhance doping of the active layers, target alloy concentrations and prototype emitter fabrication.

The integration of NIRS measures with EEG could be a significant advance in rapid detection and continuous monitoring of cerebral dysfunction following traumatic brain injury. We have developed a dense array EEG system that can be applied rapidly in the field environment. We have developed a prototype NIRS brain imaging system that can be integrated with the EEG system, in both sparse and dense ar ...

Hood Technology, along with its partner Williams International, propose to develop, test and supply a Non-Intrusive Stress Measurement System (NSMS) designed specifically for small turboshaft engines. This system will address the issues of these small engines at the sensor, acquisition and software levels, providing a non-proprietary, commercial-based NSMS system tailored for this class of powerp ...

Very highly maneuverable remote controlled (RC) aircraft are flown indoors and can be made to hover; these craft can transition from horizontal flight to vertical flight without use of complex gear and do no have any component that serve a single flight phase only. For such RC craft to be made to fly autonomously using an on-board sensors and a computer, one must understand their dynamics. To sc ...
