The U.S. is behind in developing an operational hypersonic capability. With Endeavor Composites, the U.S. will have a cost and weight edge by using materials that can be made 5x faster and at half the cost. ​​​​​​​ Endeavor Composites, Inc, has adapted co

Phelps2020 will customize a real-time solution (APPS) that performs accurate EO/IR persistent and automatic detection of threats (people and cars) in the perimeter of secure facilities, from distances beyond $150m. Phelps2020’s solution performs automatic and concurrent mitigation of several environmental degradations, including low light, fog, haze, blur, high dynamic range, backlighting, and l ...

THE MISSION OF THIS PHASE I PROJECT IS COMPLETION OF A TRULY INNOVATIVE STUDY TO UPGRADE EXISTING PNS CODES FOR COMPUTING HIGHSPEED, THREE-DIMENSIONAL RE-ENTRY FLOWFIELDS. THE PLAN OF ACTION ENCOMPASSES A THOROUGH EXAMINATION OF THE RANGE OF ADMISSABLE CFD THEORIES, TO UNEQUIVACALLY COMPARE STRONG AND WEAK POINTS FOR APPLICATION TO THE REYNOLDS-AVERAGED NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH DIFFERENTIAL EQ ...

In this effort GTL proposes to develop an additive production system for telescope mirrors leveraging previous research efforts for DARPA, MDA, and NASA. The proposed production method allows for a wider range of substrate materials while allowing for pre

Limited access to medical continuing education, realistic learning environments, and evidence based curriculum impact success rates of life saving interventions on the battlefield. Cutting edge medical cadaver preparation that provides medical professionals with an enhanced learning environment. Paired with a hands on, nationally recognized curriculum that trains on the crucial skillsets needed to ...

Accurate Automation proposes to design and develop the architecture for an instrumentation system for hypersonic aircraft. We will design an instrumentation system for use in a Mach 8-10 hypersonic testbed for the HyTech engine. We will investigate the feasibility of incorporating a plasma generation capability into this instrumentation system. We will develop an enhanced instrumentation system ...

The United States Air Force (USAF) at Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) has identified a need for improved turbine engine exhaust flow measurement. Non-Contact Technologies, LLC, (NCT) seeks to apply research techniques developed by the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) for non-intrusive diagnostics of exhaust and gas flows from turbine engines during ground testing. The U ...

Advanced Air Force turbine engines with integrated engine exhaust systems require diagnostic flow measurements. Integration of these systems into altitude test cells creates problems with T&E requirements such as impingement problems, exhaust cooling spray blowback, acoustic emission issues and limited space for measurement systems. Propulsion system analysts need better understanding of low aspec ...

During Phase I we will advance and develop innovative Adaptive Critic based neural network control methodologies specifically for a Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) based upon the aerodynamics of the National AeroSpace Plane (NASP). Phase II will involve the actual implementation which will prove these neurocontrol concepts. This work will be the first step in creating the complex aerocontroller for ...
