Given the benefits of exercise on general health, orally active compounds that can mimic or potentiate the effects of exercise have been of keen interest as therapeutic and dietary ingredients. Our proposed approach for enhancement of USSOCOM Multi-Purpose Canine (MPC) endurance and sensory performance using an exercise mimetic is based on the observation that age-related decline of nicotinamide ...

SeaLandAire Technologies, Inc. (SLA) proposes to meet this Group 2 need with an electric drive concept that will be capable of a 20-30 lbs. modular payload, with comparable range and endurance to current grp 2 ISR UAS, while still maintaining sufficient ISR capabilities. This UAS concept is able to covertly and safely deliver payload to within 1 meter accuracy, then extract a different payload an ...

Modern DoD applications are benefiting from the proliferation of EO/IR sensor technology. As imagers become cheaper and smaller, they are being more widely deployed for a variety of scenarios. This trend is exemplified by the Navys Future Targeting System (FTS), which will provide laser designation, laser spot imaging, and some target location functions in a single 5.5-pound unit, replacing discre ...

Rigid Wall Shelters (RWS) are an integral building block for Marine Corp operations and support a multitude of operational needs from maintenance and repair operations to command posts and medical operations. There are several key operational deficiencies with metal RWS, the weight of legacy systems and lack of insulation result in a high cost to transport and difficulty heating and cooling interi ...

As organizations grow in size and complexity, it is only natural that inefficiencies exist. One of the challenges faced by organizations is the information needed to identify, characterize, and resolve these inefficiencies is located in different stovepipes and may be biased based on a variety of factors. Both crowdsourcing and human computation research and design thinking practices have develope ...

Many custom and hybrid integrated circuits (ICs) and custom electronic components cannot bemodeled in simulation software because of their complexity and/or lack of technical data.TPS developers need to use a hardware modeler for these types of integrated circuits.The proposed WesTest Hardware Modeler will be compatible with LASAR and the VDATS Di-Series digital subsystem.It utilizes the Teradyne ...

In order to provide a best of both world solution to the Army which provides the simplicity, reliability and cost effectiveness of a torsion bar suspension system with the flexibility and adjustment of a more costly and complex HSU system, GS Engineering will develop an in-vehicle torsion bar adjustment device. Leveraging decades of military tracked vehicle suspension expertise and starting with t ...

The Navy seeks to improve the reliability and the operating life of its airborne Generator Converter Unit.The goal is to develop lightweight and compact equipment to correct leading power factor in a military combat aircrafts power 65kVA, 115V, 400Hz, 3-phase power distribution system. The equipment will correct the power factor from .98 leading to a minimum .97 lagging while complying with Milita ...

Develop innovative methods and associated tools to support the definition of Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) capabilities and their individual instruments using an Open Architecture (OA) approach, to allow for precise understanding of the ATE, interoperability across Navy and DoD electronics maintenance, and improved utilization of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) tools to support ATE operations. Th ...

A need exists for a power-and-energy dense, lightweight modular Integrated Fuel Cell System, IFCS, able to operate with available aviation fuels. The proposed Phase I effort initiates the development of an IFCS based on Infinitys current generation modular fuel cells integrated with advanced state-of-the art reformer technology. The goal of this effort is to develop the conceptual design, analysis ...
