Historically, aircraft engines have featured relatively simple axisymmetric exhaust shapes with several moving parts; however, future engine exhaust systems are expected feature compact, sinuous ducts with complex non-axisymmetric shapes, fixed exit areas, thrust vectoring etc., constructed with a minimum number of moving parts. Their exhaust plumes are currently not well understood; however, LES ...

We propose to develop a multi-functional coating technology using a three-component nanocomposites to achieve excellent syperhydrophobicity, anti-icing, enhanced track-resistance, and high dielectric breakdown strenght. The coating will be compatible with current Navy existing VLF device materials and be ease of applications in outdoor field, and be long lasting requiring infrequent applications.

To address the Navy"s need for a common, scalable, platform for multi-modal 1pA level current sensing for Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electroencephalogram (EEG), and Electrodermal Response (EDR) to be fielded as a miniature wearable device with non-contact electrodes, Sentient and the State University of New York (SUNY) propose to develop the Bioelectronic Fusion Sensor System (BioFuSenS) that will a ...

Advanced effective Micro-glider development will be conceived under this Phase I effort.

In this project, we will develop innovative and advanced display and processing techniques, and innovatively combine existing algorithms, software, and systems, to create a Detection Avoidance System for Submarines (DASS) that assists the submarine operator, planner, and commanding officer (CO) in minimizing the probability that a submarine penetrating into and operating within an A2/AD zone will ...
