In the proposed effort, KAC will establish a process for reverse engineering and redesigning foreign weapons, primarily the 7.62x54R PKM and the 12.7x108mm NSV. Our engineers will use laser scanning to reverse engineer weapons from our on-site museum. We will reverse engineer the bolt from the PKM in order to demonstrate the viability of the laser scanner, our engineers, and our machine shop to co ...

Oceanit proposes to develop novel nutraceutical and/or pharmaceuticals to enhance important USSOCOM Multi-Purpose Canine (MPC) performance attributes that optimize their performance, improve recovery time when wounded and increase their survivability.

The primary objective of this proposal is to develop a human-readable liquid ticket to improve detection of CWAs and other threat agents; and evaluate its sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility to develop a new detection method that compares favorably against the existing M8/M9 paper. iSense has successfully demonstrated capability in developing customized indicator arrays for detection of T ...

Florida Turbine Technologies (FTT) is seeking affordable turbo-generator technology combinations that improve Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) without compromising the reliability, noise, and power-to-weight advantages inherent to turbo-machinery.Recuperation offers 30%-50% reduction in SFC; however, three basic challenge areas of weight, durability, and cost have prevented widespread adoption in p ...

Attempts to reuse modern graphical software applications are met with difficulty because avionics applications are typically developed with a specific platform in mind; in these instances, portability is an afterthought. This proposal provides a solution for prioritizing and maximizing the reuse of graphical avionics systems by detailing an innovative software development process and reference arc ...

Demonstrate the feasibility of leveraging open standards commercially available technologies to develop hardware and waveform for the Next-Generation Encrypted Aircraft Wireless Intercom System (NG-EAWIS). A trade study will be performed between 802.11n (MIMO) and LTE to determine which waveform will meet performance specification in a high EMI environment. The proposed solution is a low risk appr ...

In prior research and development, the developers created Tyto Online, an online multiplayer sandbox game where middle school students engage in quests to apply life science learning. This project will extend the game by developing a prototype for the Earth and Space science domain, with a prototype including quests for the Climate and Weather topic aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NG ...

This project aims to develop a low-cost millimeter-wave (mmW) imaging system for ground vehicles, to operate in combination with a long-wave infrared (LWIR) camera. Such a system will mitigate the challenges of driving in degraded visual environments (DVE) including night time, fog, dust, or smoke by providing real-time image of the vehicle surrounding independent from the presence of naturally oc ...

The product of the proposed research will be a complete system design for a dual (multi)-voltage Lithium ion 6T battery to power multiple vehicle platforms.The effort will demonstrate substantial progress toward a military and commercial product to equip the Army fleet with a single battery to service multiple voltage requirements.

A need exists for tools that assist Soldiers in identifying appropriate training scenarios based on a unit’s learning objectives and developing training roadmaps to guide the progression from scenario to scenario and learning objective to learning objective to accelerate readiness. This effort’s objective is to develop a web-based software tool that aids in the identification of suit ...
