During Phase I of the project, Sharma & Associates, Inc. developed a concept for a high speed freight truck intended for 70-ton, regular freight and bi-modal operation at speeds up to 150 mph. The truck uses a rigid frame and an independent, compliant, primary suspension for its basic architecture. Constant contact side-bearings and yaw dampers were also added to improve dynamic performance. Ve ...

The goal of this project is to develop, prototype, and experimentally validate a new Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) capable of providing sub-centimeter positioning accuracy for quasi-static scientific, survey, and structural health monitoring application. The main feature of the proposed DGNSS solution is that it leverages publically available GNSS reference data from exis ...

This project’s aim is to develop an Accurate Active Light Source (AALS) that can be fielded at selected calibration sites to address NOAA’s unmet needs and improve the calibration of the Suomi NPP VIIRS Day Night Band (DNB) operating in the high gain stage (HGS) under low light level conditions. The DNB HGS has extreme low-light sensitivity that enables a new generation of nighttime imaging. M ...
