Bridger Photonics, Inc. proposes developing a drone-based Gas Mapping LiDAR™ sensor to mitigate the loss of valuable product across the Oil & Gas supply chain.The sensor will uncover leaks and physical changes to infrastructure and pipeline right-of-ways using high-resolution 3D topographical imagery with methane gas concentration overlays.The technology will enable reliable detection, precise l ...

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 ...

To reduce size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-c), military platforms have been evolving towards more integrated platforms that utilize all available space. For radiating systems, this will require exploring innovative design methods, materials and manufacturing approaches to realize cost-effective, customizable and conformal antennas. An attractive solution to this challenge is offered by additive ...

Oceanit proposes to develop visual analytics tool to support collaborative decision making with high-dimensional variables using 2D, 2 1/2D, and 3D visualization with interaction for demonstration.

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.

Team proposes to use active LIDAR and passive LWIR hyperspectral imaging systems for standoff detection of chemical and biological plumes.

The U.S. Army is interested in the development of innovative coating technologies to allow current U.S. Army airdrop related hardware and equipment to survive fresh and salt water operations with increased reliability and without damage and significant maintenance impact. Resodyn Corporation proposes for development a durable, moisture-impermeable, thermoplastic coating material to address the U.S ...

In this Phase II, Oceanit proposes to further the impedance approach and battery analyzer device developed in Phase I to demonstrate an optimized technique for monitoring, diagnosis and prognosis of lead acid batteries. Oceanit shall design an integrated lead-acid battery health monitoring tool prototype for testing in an operationally relevant environment. Impedance model will be further refined ...

Ozone treatment of wastewater to destroy organic contaminants prior to discharge into the environment is an extremely effective advanced oxidation technology. To date the use of this powerful technology has been limited in part by the relatively high capital costs of an efficient ozone to water, gas-liquid, mass transfer system. Existing ozone injection devices must overcome the inherently low m ...
