NOAA is pursuing sustained, in-situ sensing technology to support improved atmospheric modeling of the upper ocean boundary environment, including the air-sea interface, during turbulent storms. Improved atmospheric modeling in this critical region will lead to better forecasting and support NOAA's mandate to protect property and save lives. Small, unmanned aircraft, equipped with atmospheric sens ...

The S‐100 specification is a new geospatial standard for hydrographic data, that is presently under development by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). Once the S‐100 based products and services are fully developed by the IHO, current datasets will be scheduled for obsolescence, and the Hydrographic Offices (HOs) will no longer produce them. Companies offering e‐navigation solu ...

Creare is developing a miniature power system for NOA weather monitoring stations in remote locations. This system can provide electric power continuously from naturally occurring temperature differences that exist between ambient air and water in environments such as the Arctic Ocean and the Great Lakes. Generating power directly from these temperature difference uses the atmosphere and ocean/lat ...

In this Phase II effort, PEMDAS Technologies and Innovations (PEMDAS), in collaboration with subcontractor Westover Studios, proposes to develop a functional prototype of the Weather “Action Chain” Enabler (ACE) application using the technologies identified, knowledge gained, and preliminary design conceived during the Phase I effort. As designed, the Weather ACE application will be a non-intr ...

Marine life entanglement is one of the critical permitting issues that is currently constraining the growth of domestic offshore aquaculture. Synthetik Applied Technologies is proposing to develop a low-cost entanglement detection system for offshore aquaculture operators. The system will use a combination of near real-time satellite imagery, intelligent on-site cameras (both above and below the w ...

By the conclusion of Phase 1, important discoveries were made concerning the technological, market, and business feasibility of the Rapid Acquisition Platform. We have concluded that the RAP is feasible and may proceed to product development. In Phase II, GBTI will develop an end-to-end RAP utilizing the scientific and technological discoveries made in Phase 1. Phase 2 will be implemented over the ...

Ample evidence exists that US military operational information is released via social media and internet sources; possibly compromising operational security (OPSEC). IST Research designed, in Phase I, Managing Operations Security Tool (MOST) to detect and characterize these OPSEC threats in online data and propose mitigation techniques. MOST supports identity management and force protection profes ...

The balance between the advantages and liabilities of sharing personal and organizational digital information continues to be tested. While modern information technologies have provided tremendous boosts to personal, corporate and public-sector capability growth, they also expose a vulnerability that can cripple organizations and put personal livelihoods at great risk. For U.S. Government person ...
