Our water air soil farms and forests depend on birds as vital natural resources. Birds consumeinsects pollinate plants disperse seeds and maintain wetlands. Unfortunately transmission linecollisions kill 57 million birds annually in the United States. Installing markers that help birdssee and not hit power lines can decrease bird collisions by more than 70%. Today powerlinemen use bucket trucks an ...

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 ...

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

Small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) have proven to be an effective tool for surveillance, intelligence, and reconnoitering (ISR) operations. These systems are also becoming more readily available for use by DOD organizations due to the emergence of the U

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

    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

One of the remaining significant components of understanding Space Weather, and its impact on assets in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), is an understanding of the physics that governs the coupling of the Earth’s Magnetosphere and the Ionosphere or M-I Coupling.  I
