CBC’s HIPS solution is a low-profile, omni-directional wind turbine that can be rapidly deployed and safely emplaced anywhere on an Agile Combat Employment (ACE) airfield without risking aircraft collisions, disrupting radar, nor requiring re-deployment to face the wind. The HIPS makes wind safe, practical, and scalable in ways that traditional wind energy is not.  CBC will conduct an R/R&D fea ...

The overall goal of this multiphase STTR program is to develop a pulsed source of high purity entangled photons suitable for use at the Air Force’s Starfire free space optical range to support advances in free space quantum networking hardware and protoco

The overall goal of this multiphase STTR program is to develop fully packaged waveguide-based biphoton sources with high brightness and ultra-high, well characterized heralding efficiency. The specific goal of this phase I STTR is to establish the feasibi

  Mission success in contingency operations depends on communication and Beartooth Radio provides a solution when traditional comms are degraded; saving lives by reducing much-needed time battle-tracking friendlies and engaging the enemy when and where it

BTech proposes a directional hydrophone for acoustic noise measurements for various host platforms including floats, gliders, and observation buoys. The BTech design is provided in Phase I report including sensing concept and configuration, mechanical packing, power consumption, communication interfaces, sensor (re)calibration methodology, algorithms to extract the information content of the ocean ...

Despite a large and growing set of available data sources across many domains, identifying and tracking developing threats in operational domains remains a critical unsolved problem. Extraction of relevant threat information and correlation across multiple modalities is required to take full advantage of the data available. VSI proposes TALON, a system for leveraging natural language descriptions ...

The MAI team is developing a solution for a portable expeditionary AN/UYQ-100 USW-DSS unit that will have standalone and integrated Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Services (CANES) capabilities to further enhance individual unit and watchteam team ASW & ASUW capabilities. The MAI team will incorporate a robust embedded interactive training curriculum applicable to operators and supervisors. ...

Mine countermeasure (MCM) operations employ neutralizers with a small explosive charge to engage naval mines. During the engagement, the neutralizer approaches a targeted mine and detonates its explosive charge, which can cause a sympathetic detonation or lower-order reaction in the naval mine. Battle damage assessment (BDA) to determine the outcome of the attack currently requires a follow-on mis ...

Propel proposes to conduct research in order to determine the performance level of a seamless cold weather mesh undershirt and drawers as compared to the existing undershirt and drawers.  Propel shall develop initial concepts and evaluate their technical feasibility.  Comparison to conventionally sewn seams using internationally recognized standards and test methods, as well as novel test method ...

Increasingly heightened concerns about environmental contaminants necessitates a customizable, accurate, precise, real-time, easily deployable, and flexible yet comprehensive monitoring solution. Critical applications include; Corrosion monitoring;  Situa
