NATO is currently developing the Next-Generation Reference Mobility Model (NG-NRMM), which is used to determine terrain strength properties for mobility. The NG-NRMM relies heavily on in-situ measurements, which is a significant limitation for traversing unknown areas and combat zones. The MTRI Inc. and MTU team recently competed the A21C-T021 Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) proj ...

Hemp-based clothing are excellent for outdoor active wear, due to high strength, UV-protective qualities, mold resistance, and excellent moisture absorption and desorption. While academic research on hemp-based textiles in the US is increasing, it has naturally also become an area of interest to competing countries. Specifically, China is outperforming the US in hemp fiber technological advancemen ...

United States Air Force S&T identifies five strategic capabilities: 1) Global Persistent Awareness,  2) Resilient Information Sharing, 3) Rapid, Effective Decision-Making, 4) Complexity, Unpredictability, and Mass, and 5) Speed and Reach of Disruption and

This Phase II work will develop a methodology for radiation hardness testing of microelectronics. This methodology includes understanding of device physics and irradiation sources, as well as utilization of irradiation facilities and dosimetry of irradiated microelectronics. The methodology necessarily incorporates design of testing procedures, development of experimental setups including microele ...

The Aggregated Data Evaluation & Prediction Tool is a data analyst software that processes aggregated Navy data streams and enables predictive analysis and experimentation through ML modeling.

Virtual EM Inc. is teaming with Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) to combine their experience and expertise in wireless system development and biological signal analysis, conditioning, and interpretations. The proposed system will use innovative electric-field sensors and signal processing algorithms to provide meaningful non-contact monitoring data indicative of both cardiopulmonary and cogn ...

To address the U.S. Space Force’s need for grappling of uncontrolled and unprepared objects, Kall Morris Inc (KMI) is further developing the REACCH soft-capture end effector, which provides secure control of RSOs to support the warfighter. The REACCH end

KMI’s Asteria module, the critical-function prototype constructed in Phase I, provides gecko adhesion for semi-permanent attachment to nearly any surface in orbit. The Asteria attachment utilizes gecko adhesion in a radial design for deployable permanent

AE proposes to use this Phase II effort to produce two 300W+ TRL6-7 PCFC Fuel Cell Systems for testing and evaluation by the US Army.  Critical to achieving this delivery is the optimization of PCFC performance and the high production rate of PCFC cells through AE’s unique thermoplastic extrusion manufacturing process.  Given the breadth of knowledge gained in the Phase I work, the AE/CSM team ...

The primary objectiveis to develop acommercially-viable prototype of theslopeadaptive prosthesis design and to iteratively improvethe design based on ISO standards testingand rigorous usein human subject field trials. The proposed work will build upon knowledgegained in PhaseI of the project,which established feasibility for this design approach in alightweight, passive hydraulicfoot-anklesystem. ...
