Many people recognize how critical it is to understand our weather, climate, and environment. Educators already use NOAA data and models in working with students and their communities as part of their teaching and outreach. With the exponential growth in data, however, many of them struggle with accessing and managing that data. Evolving data formats and computing requirements make it very challen ...

TAF proposes to Reverse Engineer the McNab Circuit Card Assembly, NSN identified by DLA, 5998-01-276-2156, using available adjacent and salvaged parts. TAF will create a Technical Data Package (TDP), manufacture and test prototypes, develop a Source Approval Request package, and ultimately deliver 5-10 working sample parts for Source Approval. The NSN is a critical Circuit Card Assembly — more c ...

The Air Force desires to procure parts to Drawing WRG95936, however, obsolesce of materials and the loss of the previous supplier no longer in this business, makes finding an alternative source necessary. Validation of new materials is required. Chase has the pedigree history from the previous source and relative experience to assure form, fit, functionality of the new part.

Geomagnetically induced current (GIC) hazard is a recognized threat to the United States power system. Federal models to support hazard specification and prediction for critical infrastructure are at an advanced state, including models of space weather, the Earth’s conductive structure, and regional geoelectric field. We propose to use existing NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (NOAA-SWPC) mo ...

Coral transplantation is a primary management option for rehabilitation of degraded reefs. Stabilization (via adhesion, etc.) of transplants on existing reef or artificial substrates notably improves their survival rate. Improved underwater adhesives are needed for expedient and convenient stabilization of coral transplants with improved survival rate. A new hybrid organic-inorganic adhesive is pr ...

Wet installation of fasteners offers proven corrosion protection and fuel sealing in aircraft structures, but it''''s a labor-intensive, messy, hazmat-laden process whose quality can vary significantly from fastener to fastener. Under a Navy SBIR Phase II, SMRC has developed a proprietary process called QwikSeal® for pre-coating fasteners with cure-blocked sealant, then overcoating the pre-applie ...

Significant advances have been made in machining technology, most notably machining centers capable of spindle speeds and feedrates that are an order of magnitude higher than conventional. However, the use of this new technology requires much more technical expertise, and experience and intuition are no longer sufficient. Specifically, machine tool productivity can be greatly enhanced if informati ...
