Aging military infrastructure is constantly in the need of replacement and upgrades. Competent and qualified domestic producers of these mission vital items are becoming increasingly scarce leading to fewer sources and less competition in the marketplace. To ensure that warfighters are properly equipped to perform their missions it is critical to have a reliable and sustainable supplier base wit ...

Oceanit proposes to develop novel nutraceutical and/or pharmaceuticals to enhance important USSOCOM Multi-Purpose Canine (MPC) performance attributes that optimize their performance, improve recovery time when wounded and increase their survivability.

To facilitate amphibious assault operations, the Marines need to quickly move amphibious combat vehicles (ACVs) between ships and the shore. However, due to an increased level of sophistication in the anti-ship weapons available to potential adversaries, Navy ships must remain far from shore during assault operations (i.e., many tens of miles). This creates a need for assault vehicles that can ach ...

A craft capable of transporting an ACV from a well deck ship to shore at speeds in excess of 25 knots is being proposed. This craft, referred to as a Sled, is based on the use of inflatable drop stitch panels coupled to a simple aluminum frame. This approach offers the means to collapse the sled in constituent parts that can be stored in a small volume. The propulsion system is also modularized fo ...

The Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) Joint Tactical Radio (JTRS) is a four-channel, software-programmable radio having up to eight Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs) that determine the functionality of the unit. The SRUs consist of electronics cards mounted in a sealed structure and secured in the chassis using standard wedge locks. Currently, the available heat rejection from the ...

The US Army needs a method for large scale repair and additive manufacture of Ti-6Al-4V components in support of its light weighting initiative. Cold spray metal deposition technology is a solid-state bonding technique where supersonic powdered metal is deposited on a metallic substrate through adiabatic shearing processes at low temperature. Cold spray offers an ideal solution for the Army’s ne ...

In recent years our ability to generate multi-omics data has greatly outpaced our ability to interpret it- While machine learning approaches can process massive quantities of data, they frequently make mistakes that can be costly in applications like microbial enhanced oil recovery where “checking the AI’s work” is difficult- We seek to mitigate the impact of these errors by enabling the AI ...

Actionable understanding of watershed and ecosystem behavior is required for a wide spectrum of societal and engineering needs by both government entities and commercial entities- These needs include, for example, water resource management, precision agriculture and hydropower- Such actionable understanding requires the ability to numerically model various coupled processes and associated reaction ...
