ABSTRACT: The floor of an ALC is like a well-orchestrated dance. However, when an unexpected failure occurs, it can introduce significant delays in not only the specific aircraft"s maintenance, but of the entire network of systems. 21st Century Systems, Inc. (21CSi) is in the position to answer this challenge with a concept called Reactive Aircraft Maintenance System via Evolutionary Scheduling ( ...

The overall goal of the proposed Phase II effort is to mature the concept of a blast-only CRAM warhead. The outcome of the Phase II will be a detailed warhead design, with accompanying lethality analysis to aid in implementing the warhead at a system level. Future development of a functional blast-only CRAM interceptor will be based upon the results of this Phase II effort.

ABSTRACT:Vigilant Cyber Systems, Inc. (VCS) proposes to design and develop a Toolkit for Assessing Electromagnetic (EM) Disruption Recovery (TAEMDR) to simulate EM disruptions in digital systems and accurately assess operator response to the disruptions. TAEMDR is designed to be intuitive to use allowing test engineers to build very complex models of digital systems of various complexities from si ...

ABSTRACT:We propose an ultra-low profile hybrid CPV concept that combines multi-junction (MJ) CPV cells capable of 40% efficiency at 1 sun with a low-cost single-junction PV backplane in a design that is lightweight, based on concentration ratios >100X and has a panel thickness 500 W/kg and a wide acceptance angle of >4.0. The low-profile design, combined with world record performance, will yield ...

ABSTRACT:Corvid Technologies and 3D Systems will collaborate to develop novel penetrator structures for enhancement of explosive and fuze survivability. These structures will provide lethality and penetration capability equal to or better than conventional penetrator designs. Our approach will optimize structural components and combine them in practical ways to meet penetrator functional goals. To ...

ABSTRACT:Abstract: The objective of this effort is developing algorithms using sensor track data to detect, track, and classify TBM targets and predict TBM trajectory during boost phase. These algorithms will support engagement prioritization and optimize intercept probability for an airborne weapon layer of missile defense. Corvid proposes a multi-mode sensor suite of RF and IR sensors on the hos ...

ABSTRACT:Structural adhesive bonding of titanium alloys and other metals offers many advantages over mechanical fasteners, but requires careful surface preparation to avoid premature bond failure. The existing surface treatment options have significant disadvantages, including hazardous material usage, the potential for contamination from debris, and long treatment times. A media-free technology t ...

The objective of this proposal is to design a detailed curricula framework for an ITS and Connected Vehicle industry-recognized credential program. Titled Transportation Tech, the framework will serve as a basis for developing 3 levels of online credential training in each industry. The education and professional development of technicians in the ITS field is pivotal to the future of our nation’ ...

The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing a “Customer Based Mobility” application, named Liberty, for enhancing transportation options for vulnerable populations and senior citizens in rural and small urban communities. Utilization of technology for route optimization and customer trip booking in rural and small urban transportation agencies is currently ve ...

The objective of this project is to develop, produce, and commercialize a liquid-tight, field-applicable, ocular patch for wound stabilization and treatment of the eye following a war-related injury to the ocular surface. The patch consists of a curved flexible silicone membrane (similar in size and shape to a contact lens) which has had (1) a novel bio-adhesive
