The Air Force has a need for low-cost, short takeoff and landing vehicles to provide recovery and transport support in contested areas while minimizing the required number of operational personnel. An autonomous vehicle capable of 100 miles operational radius, cruise speed greater than 100 kts at 4000 ft, and takeoff/landing zone of 50 ft x 50 ft is desired to perform combat search and rescue, as ...

In the Phase II project, METSS will continue the development of a safe, robust, rapid, and effective chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas dispersion system to be used for on-site room decontamination in hospital and non-hospital settings. The heart of the decontamination system is a proprietary ClO2 generating micro-reactor technology that is used to quickly and safely generate ClO2 on-site. This technolog ...

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 ...

The importance of determining crystallographic orientation information over large areas has existed within the materials science community for solutions to a variety of applications in aerospace and otherwise since the connection of MTRs and material performance was discovered, but it isn’t until recently that a feasible solution has existed. In this work, MRL will demonstrate the feasibility of ...

In the naval aircraft many disparate materials are subject to galvanic corrosion, due to the marine environment. Some of these aircraft have hybrid (carbon fiber composite/aluminum) designs that exhibit accelerated corrosion damage, compared to legacy all-metal frames, due to galvanic interaction between the fastener, the composite skin, and the aluminum frame. In the Phase I SBIR program, UES Inc ...

In recent years, Department of Defense (DoD) readiness has been negatively impacted due to increased reports of unidentified physiological events (UPE’s) during and after fixed-wing flight missions and training. One potential cause of such UPE’s is chemical contamination in pilot breathing air. A gap remains in the development of a standardized and manufacturable investigative device ...

Intelligent power distribution that changes it’s protection level to match the actual load on the circuit frees up the unused portion of power for another circuit to use it. Intelligent power distribution that also changes its over current trip point and timing to match the type of load connected enhances protection to aircraft wiring and reduces potential for nuisance tripping. Bi-directional i ...

The large, heavy Foreign Object Debris (FOD) screens on the Ship-to-Shore Connector (SSC) Air Cushion Vehicle (ACV) provide critical protection and safety for the propulsor engines and personnel. Unfortunately, these critical safety FOD screens are excessively heavy (238.81 kg), costly both in capital expense and fuel loading, and prone to corrosion due to the harsh salt-water, sand, high winds, v ...

Due to the critical importance of RF systems working for the warfighter as intended and when needed, the risk of co-site interference must be mitigated. This is especially important for Navy platforms carrying a wide variety of RF systems, such as high-power transmitters co-located with very sensitive receivers. The Navy must ensure that its RF systems are designed, installed and managed with mini ...

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 ...
