Award Data

Automated processing of sensor/signal data and other non-sensor information provides substantial force-multiplying benefits. The timely and cost-effective leveraging of these types of information provides a significant advantage over adversaries not possessing comparable information processing capabilities. The intelligent processing of diverse types of data provides a target assessment technology ...

Intelligent processing of battelfield sensor data and other information provides substantial force-multiplying benefits. The timely and cost-effective leveraging of information provides a signficant advantage over adversaries not possessing comparable information processing capabilties. Among these is automatic target recognition (ATR). Under previous and current Federal funding, AbTech has develo ...

Currently, airbreathing propulsion systems which operate in the subsonic to high supersonic regime are expensive, complex and heavy. To overcome these limitations, a novel propulsion concept based on a liquid hydrocarbon-fueled Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE) is proposed. The innovation draws from recent successes in computational fluid dynamics and from several engineering studies and PDE develop ...

One of the major problems facing data management today is that collection capabilities far outstrip analysis capabilities. This is particularly true of scientific and engineering data sets. Analysis methods require access that cross file/data granule boundaries. We propose to address this problem by integrating unified data models of scientific data as embodied by the widely used data formats CD ...

PacAstro has shown that significant cost reduction and operational advantages are possible for small orbital and suborbital mission using a simple pressure fed, LOX/Kerosene vehicle configuration. Under private and government funding, we have begun development of the engine which is critical to realize extremely low cost, highly reliable and highly capable space transportation. Beginning with a p ...

A robust and accurate extension of an existing state-of-the-art steady-state compressible unstructured flow solver and grid generation package to include time-accurate simulation of multiple moving bodies is proposed. Improvedments to existing algorithms should enable the routine simulation of such problems as aircraft store separation phenomena. A discretization of the time-dependent Navier-Stoke ...

We will investigate and develop an interactive multimedia for asthma self-management educationtargeted toward children aged 6-9 inclusive. Interactive multimedia is the integration of audiovisualtechnology (as well as text and graphics) with computer-simulated human interaction to control activitiesand to monitor user responses to computer-generated questions. Interactive multimedia is theeducatio ...

Recent development of planar magnetics has the potential to provide reduced volume, high efficiency and high power density power electronics, devices and components for future advanced 1 kW - 150 kW aeronautical power electronic system applications. At present, the best available modern commercial power converter volume exceeds that occupied by all of the electronic components in aeronautical pow ...
