Award Data

From pharmaceuticals and stimulants to industrial chemicals like pesticides and plastic components, the number of contaminants in waste, surface, and groundwater is increasing astronomically. As the hazardous limits of some of these toxins are as low as the 1 part-per-trillion (ppt) range, very sensitive analytical techniques are required. A variety of techniques exist, but they are expensive, lab ...

In the US, an estimated one third of food is wasted at the household level resulting in significant environmental impact—total greenhouse gas emissions of US food waste are estimated to be 70 million MTCO2e. While food waste is generated at all stages of the food supply chain over 50% of all food waste is generated at the consumption stage, the majority of which occurs within households. Often, ...

The construction industry is poised for a major transformation through the additive manufacturing approach of field-based concrete printing, an emerging technology using large-scale 3D printers to construct physical infrastructure. Most 3D printing is performed in a controlled environment. In field-based construction, many factors, especially environmental ones, affecting printed concrete product ...

The modern information environment (IE) is growing more complex and dynamic. Information technology advances enable adversaries to access and influence audiences globally with increasingly sophisticated tools and at an unprecedented scale. To understand the threat landscape and to respond effectively, there is a need to automatically detect, track, and differentiate the evolution of information na ...

Charles River Analytics and PatchPlus Consulting are pleased to propose Cerulean FNX, a modular software platform that extends Charles River’s Cerulean transaction analysis framework to the financial intelligence domain. Cerulean FNX is centered around a modular and pluggable network analytics engine containing state/of/the/art financial graph and time series analytics, a modular coordinated vis ...

Salient Predictions Inc. proposes to develop new technology for accurate subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) water availability forecasts so that communities may manage water resources in preparation for hazardous events like floods and droughts. Current hydrological models face challenges related to data inputs, as climate change has been presenting weather patterns atypical from historical data. Witho ...

We propose to develop in-situ low cost sensors to support fire meteorology for wildland fire emergency response, by blanketing the fire area with real time measurements. Sensors can be air-deployed to provide vertical atmospheric measurement profiles or hand-emplaced for augmenting existing surface fire weather stations. Each telemeters precision measurements of air temperature, solar radiation, i ...

Anuma Aerospace seeks to develop the conceptual design for, and determine the technical and economic feasibility of, a Persistently-Elevated, Gas-free, Aerostatic Sensor Utility System (PEGASUS), which will work like a data buoy in the sky, continuously collecting and transmitting weather data from the marine atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) with the data being made available via application progr ...

President Biden’s new 2023 National Security Strategy outlines the need to shift the burden of security from individuals and small businesses to large institutions. Password-based authentication puts individuals and organizations at risk, but moving towards passwordless technologies is hard due to the overwhelming number of choices and the lack of data around the unmitigated costs. Inline with t ...

Scientific Systems Company Inc. (SSCI) is proposing to integrate our TRL-7 commercial software product, SSCI’s ImageNavTM system with the capabilities of the Elbit Systems of America (ESA) Multimode Seeker Concept along with additional sensor and algorithms improvements to provide an enhanced navigation capability in GPS-contested environments. The Phase I effort will include a feasibility study ...
