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 logisticalsystem requires natural gas gathering lines, processing facilities,product storage tanks and Jots of other equipment. What results is air pollution caused by industry losses during these operations and the use of continuous or intermitte ...

Passive Microwave Remote Sensing is currently utilized by AFRL, NASA, NOAA, and others to conduct Earth Science missions, including weather forecasting, early warning systems, and climate studies. Soundings of the atmosphere are conducted near several oxygen and water absorption lines at frequencies of ~20-200 GHz to determine key parameters of the atmospheric state, including temperature and humi ...

Based on the results of Phase I, we aim to develop a prototype of the high speed dynamic IRSP instrument. This prototype will incorporate the next generation 1Kx1K IRLED array that is compatible with the highly successful and user-tested NSLEDS IRSP. If Phase II of the proposed project is successful, the result will be an upgrade of NSLEDS IRSP system to higher performance and operability. The rea ...

The seeds of failures of Defense projects can often be traced back to poor quality requirements and a lack of portfolio level coherence between associated projects. Because projects have become so complex, 100% paper-based methods are no longer suitable for requirements management. In June 2018, the DoD released its Digital Engineering Strategy which calls on the services to “move the primar ...

Lumineye provides wall-penetrating radar to help first-responders and soldiers identify people and threats through walls. We propose investigating the utility of our existing through-wall sensor for the Air Force Security Forces. Our device focuses on improving the situational awareness of the AFSF in all law enforcement, emergency response situations, and combat missions. The system will improve ...

Our innovative 3D Motion Analysis technology allows for fast and efficient screening of running technique in military personnel that has previously not been available to this scale. We propose providing education and training on our portable 3D Motion Analysis technology to military personnel to explore new ways to utilize this technology. The education and training will focus on ways to identify ...

Durable and robust large-area ultrathin CNT sheets can be produced from pristine CNT sheets following proprietary CNT purification and densification processes. The resulting CNT sheets are free-standing, flexible, durable, robust, ultrathin (< 5 µm) and lightweight (~6 g per m2). They withstand corrosion and heat and are superior at shielding EMI (effectiveness >= 55 dB in the X band).

Managing multi-level risks ranging from the fiscal/personnel resources to fluctuating material/production costs have always been challenges due to the integrated nature of Air Force (AF) with governmental and industrial partners. Establishing a quantitative framework that provides basis for making informed decisions on these pressing issues can greatly impact how Air Force strategically allocate v ...

Petal is a novel bio-solar proposal to generate power using plant photosynthetic proteins combined to nanotubes bonded to a conductive substrate. The use of this architecture should allow for high efficiencies in the capture and harvest of photons and the generation of solar power in a very flexible format. This format will allow for scaling from micro to industrial scales.

1. To address the short comings in existing forensics bridge design, reduce the workload of system security staff, and increase the security of assured file transfers, Idaho Scientific proposes a nine month, $150k effort to design and prototype a Secure Assured File Transfer drive. (SAFE-T Drive) is a high assurance purpose built AFT drive with an integrated forensics bridge. SAFE-T Drive will fil ...
