To reach the end user, oil and gas production at the wellhead must be transmitted through the country and distributed to a wide range of customers. This logistical system requires natural gas gathering lines, processing facilities, product storage tanks and lots of other equipment. What results is air pollution caused by industry losses during these operations and the use of continuous or intermit ...

Our service members deployed worldwide are at risk of exposures to local environmental and industrial toxicants which can potentially result in long-term adverse health effects. Understanding the impact of these exposures is critical for improved force protection and safeguarding individual soldier health. Capturing and classifying exposure data is essential for developing and implementing risk mi ...

A composite matrix resin was demonstrated during Phase I that will reduce the cost of structural tactical motor hardware. While the resin was designed specifically for filament winding applications, the technology could easily be transitioned to additional composite fabrication areas. Formulated resin systems were prepared to obtain the desired processing properties and high glass transition tempe ...

For dynamic protection of LWIR sensors from laser dazzler threats, Nanohmics, Inc., proposes to develop a thin, light-weight, electronically tunable notch filter based on microfabricated graphene-integrated metasurfaces.The optical filter can reject a specific narrow spectral line (notch) or multiple simultaneous notches.The metasurface comprises an engineered array of resonant microstructure nano ...

The goal of the Phase II program is to demonstrate growth of large-area single-crystal diamond substrates having surface area of 6 cm2 and suitable for electronic device applications. This will represent a major leap in available substrate area, from less than 1 cm2 available today. The technical path will directly follow the work begun in the Phase I program, which is, using our toroidal plasma C ...

Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation (SPEC) is proposing a fast moving Phase II Expendable Active RF Technologies for Helicopters (EARTH) program to deliver a fully functional 1x2x8 active expendable RF countermeasures prototype flight unit, which is form/fit compatible with the AN/ALE-47 dispenser. The proposed countermeasures flight unit (microUAV) expendables are configured with multifun ...

TransWave Photonics, LLC proposes to develop mid-wave infrared photonic integrated circuits based on monolithic integration of passive low-loss waveguides, thermo-optically tunable photonic elements, and quantum cascade gain sections within the same InGaAs/AlInAs/InP platform. The proposed approach will enable power combining and 2-dimensinoal beam steering of the outputs from multiple high-power ...

We will develop a lab-on-chip optical absorption spectrometer spanning 3-15micron molecular fingerprint region, in a single epitaxially grown heterostructure that monolithically integrates thermally tuned distributed feedback quantum cascade laser (QCL) and quantum cascade detector (QCD) arrays with slotted photonic crystal waveguides (SPCWs) in a mid-infrared InGaAs passive photonic waveguide. In ...

A multichannel GPS system, with associated Controlled Radiation Pattern Antenna Array (CRPA) design, will provide continuous position and attitude determination. This system supports L1/L2 and SAASM or M-Code modes under both GPS jamming, and spoofing attack, to maintain navigation and attitude in contested environments. The system uses direction finding to determine angle of arrival (AOA for the ...

Americas current electronic warfare (EW) capabilities are insufficient for the modern and future battlefield. To safeguard against radio-controlled threats and disrupt enemy communications, our current EW systems blindly jam broad swaths of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). This approach interferes with Blue Force data and voice communications, requires large power sources and generates distinct ...
