"Jaia Robotics’ low-cost, micro-sized hybrid uncrewed surface/underwater vehicles called JaiaBotsTM can be deployed from the shore or vessels. The system enables truly affordable multivehicle operations that can be scaled to provide wide area synoptic data collection. In the proposed effort the project team will develop a JaiaBot which is air-deployable from sonobuoy launch tubes to collect atmo ...

A cloud based system for sharing bathymetric survey data collected by FarSounder customers is proposed as a way(1) to improve safety of navigation on our oceans, (2) to collect measurements for the broader scientific and maritime communities and (3) to generally explore and broadly share information about our oceans in fulfillment of ideas proposed in Topic 9.3 “The Changing Ocean”, and in acc ...

Gun barrels are exposed to severe conditions in terms of high degree of the corrosion/erosion/thermal shock during firing and currently used traditional coating systems such the hard chromium plating is not able to protect the bore effectively to minimize

The proposed innovation will enable DoD and its industrial supply base to automate a wide range of high variety, low volume manufacturing and maintenance activities. The system utilizes AI/ML and VR technologies to teach and operate robots using human tra

This direct to Phase II program is needed to take the commercial Migrating Combustion Chamber (MCC) FE-120 baseline engine and complete the development, design improvements and testing that is required for integration into a Group 1 SUAS, like the RQ-20 P

The United States Air Force (USAF) aims to enhance the energy efficiency and readiness of the C-17 Globemaster III through the application of AeroCore's advanced technologies. These technologies, including Nucleated Foam Technology and On-Wing Restoration

CBC’s HIPS solution is a low-profile, omni-directional wind turbine that can be rapidly deployed and safely emplaced anywhere on an Agile Combat Employment (ACE) airfield without risking aircraft collisions, disrupting radar, nor requiring re-deployment to face the wind. The HIPS makes wind safe, practical, and scalable in ways that traditional wind energy is not.  CBC will conduct an R/R&D fea ...

Founded in 2019, Maxwell Labs has combined materials science with state-of-the-art machine learning technology to deploy an entirely new class of intelligent cooling solutions. The company product portfolio includes Radiative Cooling Coatings, Radiative Heatsinks, and Thermal Compounds. Current product applications are focused on effective and sustainable cooling technologies in the computing and ...

Tessellated Inc, in partnership with the University of Notre Dame, has produced composite thin films with the highest reported tensile strengths. These films have been produced using widely available roll-to-roll manufacturing techniques that can be adapted to current manufacturing lines. Small amounts of thermally reduced graphene oxide particles can be added to a ultra high molecular weight poly ...

Musculoskeletal injuries (MSKI) cost the DoD $3.7B and 25 million lost duty days annually.  Ankle injuries are the second most common MSKI  with service members 5x more likely to sustain an ankle injury than the general population making it a leading cause of lost training and combat operation time. Research shows the military will incur $7.4 million in savings by investing just $154,550 per yea ...
