This Research and Development (R&D) effort will produce an architecture and prototype for performing quick-look analysis of Electromagnetic (EM) Compatibility (EMC) using Modeling and Simulation (M&S) technologies. The target domain will be aircraftsustainment and will focus on the insertion of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies into existing aircraft. COTS technologies provide a cost- ...

This research will determine extent and nature of the neutralization of bacterial spores when they are exposed, for very short times to high temperatures, pressures, and chemicals important in Agent Defeat weapons.. An exposure system will be constructedcapable of providing the ultra-short exposure times (on the order of ms) that are characteristic of bomb explosions and will be capable of exposi ...

"This research will provide ability to predict the effectiveness of thermal-basedAgent Defeat weapons. Tasks are compilation of previous experimental data, modeling to estimate the time-temperature conditions produced by selectedAgent Defeat weapons, the design and evaluation of a test system to determine the extent of spore killing by high temperatures for various short times. The military benefi ...

The goal of this program will be to investigate the issues associated with the development of a cognitive nuclear, biological and chemical threat data correlation and munitions effects analysis support system that is capable of supporting both training andoperational deployments. BRC is a major support contractor for the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research & Development Center (ERDC). ...

"Radiation-hardening by design (RHBD) permits the use of available commercial fabrication lines of high performance circuits, but the radiation-hardened (rad-hard) devices and cells are usually associated with a larger area, higher-power consumption, andslower performance. CFDRC in collaboration with Mission Research Corp. (MRC) and Vanderbilt University will develop novel RHBD concepts at the tra ...

"The inter-stage turbine burner is an innovative and revolutionary concept for increased specific thrust and low emissions while maintaining or improving cycle efficiency through increased overall pressure ratio. Heat addition in the turbine burner betweenthe high pressure and low pressure turbine is a better approximation of the ideal Carnot cycle. Addition of fuel between turbine stages can sign ...

"High resolution modeling of the ejection of liquid payloads is needed to compliment and improve the design of weapons that will inject neutralization agents into clouds of hazardous chemical or biological agents. A high fidelity model, which currently doesnot exist (especially for relatively large diameter jets), is needed to provide accurate prediction of droplet location, size, and velocity dis ...

High resolution modeling of the aerosolization process for relatively large liquid jets is needed to quantify the dispersion of hazardous chemical or biological agents from damaged/punctured containers. A second application is the prediction of thedistribution of neutralization agents injected into clouds of hazardous chemical or biological agents. A high fidelity model is needed to provide accura ...
