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 ...

The presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the environment represents an emerging issue due to their stability, bioaccumulation potential, and risks to human and ecological well-being. There is a critical need to develop sampling methods for PFAS to assess risks and inform remedial investigations and feasibility studies (RI/FS) at locations where historical releases have elevate ...

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 ...

Systima Technologies, Inc. in collaboration with Aerojet Rocketdyne is proposing to develop and demonstrate a dual mode energetic system design that incorporates an advanced energetic formulation, technology for burn-rate control, and features for IM compliance and system performance enhancement (lethality).The Phase I program includes development and refinement of the system design concepts, comp ...

Systima Technologies, Inc. proposes the development of an unmanned hypersonic test vehicle recovery system that will greatly enhance the effectiveness of hypersonic flight testing. Systima plans to perform a comprehensive review of the various hypersonic vehicle test environments and recovery requirements in order to develop recommendations for suitable vehicle recovery technologies for the range ...

Many injuries in the battlefield are being treated by non-medical personnel(e.g. 42% of tourniquet applications are applied by non-medical personnel). Unfortunately, most non-medical personnel are not provided with opportunities to practice medical skills in a high stress environment prior to completing them during live missions. This lack of practice of critical skills is related to a need to foc ...

Develop frequency-equalized Electro-Optic lithium niobate phase modulators with flat frequency response, low switching voltage-length product, and multi-decade environmental lifetime for use in strategic-grade high-precision inertial sensors.New innovative approaches to improve phase modulator performance will be investigated and test structures fabricated to verify the new device concept.

Systima is proposing the development of an integrated modular flare dispenser system capable of delivering multiple discrete busts of pyrophoric flare material through the dispense of a single unit from an AN/ALE-47 dispenser. The Phase I program will conduct significant static ground testing to enable a higher TRL level at the start of the Phase II program. This approach will retire risk early an ...

Waterjets are widely used to cut and trim composites and techniques have been developed to trepan and pierce materials without causing delamination or fiber break-out on the exit side. However, using waterjets to mill countersunk holes has not been demonstrated before. This project will use a patented waterjet milling process to show that waterjets can successfully mill countersunk holes in compos ...

SDI Engineering Inc. (SDI) will develop validated software tools for hose and drogue aerial refueling operations. This will result in a modeling, simulation and analysis capability that can be used to address issues related to aerial refueling operations. SDI has working software that was previously developed for the analysis of the refueling hose, reeling mechanism and probe. SDIs software will b ...
