Modern lithium ion batteries are known for their poor safety performance, with many reports of battery failure and fire having been reported. One of the major causes of battery fire is from the use of flammable solvents, such as organic carbonates, as the electrolyte. These hazards have long limited the usage of batteries in dangerous conditions, such as on the battlefield. To combat this issue, f ...

As sensing, computing, and computational imaging technology advances, it becomes more feasible to integrate them into tightly coupled and fully featured solutions in minimal size, weight, and power – cost (SWaP-C) form factors. In this project, we will develop a camera system for use in a variety of scenarios, from surveillance to targeting systems. Our focus will be building a computational ima ...

The Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (Small) (CRRC(S)) is used by Special Operations Forces (SOF). The current craft, underway, produces a highly discernible bow wave that enhances its probability of detection. A primary means of reducing the detect- ability of the CRRC(S) is to decrease the bow wave and wake of the craft that will enhance the survivability of the craft and crew in the combat arena. To ...

SCIENTECH proposes to design, develop, and test an ultra-broadband active biconical antenna, fabricated from thin copper clad fiber glass or teflon (PCB). This active biconical antenna will be designed and be compatible with existing receivers, will be extremely low physical profile, and yet support effective reception in the HF, VHF, and UHF frequency ranges. The ultra-broadband active biconical ...
