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 ...

Intelligent Multirotor Autonomous Glider for Relocatable Sensors (IMAGRS) is an innovative and highly capable micro Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) that enables unattended multi-spectral imaging and processing. IMAGRS integrates existing technologies into a micro, hybrid, transforming UAS which acts autonomously as a relocatable imaging sensor. The hybrid design of IMAGRS will enable the platform t ...

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 ...

Spear Power Systems will leverage their strong experience developing advanced lithium-ion battery systems and robust battery management systems for defense and industrial programs to research and evaluate viable lithium-ion cell technologies and emerging power-dense semiconductor switch technologies to support an innovative dual-voltage lithium-ion 6T concept design. During Phase I, Spear will mak ...

Automobile three-way catalyst (TWC) are quite efficient at steady state operatingtemperature typically destroying 98% of incoming hydrocarbons (HCs) and carbonmonoxide (CO). However, up to 80% of emissions occur during the first fewminutes of Federal Test Procedure when the engine is running rich, the engine iscold and TWC has not reached light-off temperature. To significantly reduce HCsand CO ...

Fit and comfort are so important to ensure a proper operation of a mask and so any new mask design has to be tested on a large number of volunteers. As the Army strives to become more representative of the American population in its gender and racial content, it is also possible that some part of the Army population may not be afforded adequate protection with masks of one standard size of any d ...

Production Products will develop novel, low cost processing technology to incorporate fiber optic sensors in filament wound composite rocket motor cases, pressure vessels, and other missile components. The fiber optic sensors will be used for cure monitoring, measuring temperature, displacement, strain, and structural health monitoring. In Phase I we will develop low cost techniques to place the ...
