The proposed Phase II.5 ViPER USMC large mission planning mission planning expansion effort seeks to add capabilities to ViPER-CVW that will provide an initial large force air planning capability to USMC aviation planners. Development will focus on providing route and airspace deconfliction tools which link airspace, flight routing, and planned aircraft movements, as well as automated checks to en ...

Improved head and hearing protection is required for aircraft maintainers working on a carrier flight deck during launch and recovery operations. Legacy Flight Deck Cranials are inadequate in many aspects including hearing protection and impact protection. In previous work, Creare has developed a Flight Deck Cranial (FDC) that offers unparalleled hearing protection and industrial standard head pro ...

SDI Engineering Inc. (SDI) will develop validated software tools for hose and drogue aerial refueling operations. This will result in a modeling, simulation and analysis capability that can be used to address issues related to aerial refueling operations. SDI has working software that was previously developed for the analysis of the refueling hose, reeling mechanism and probe. SDI’s software wil ...

The objective of this study is to define and architect a subsea optical mesh network to enhance the resilience and availability of data flow.

The promise of fully integrated simulation-based design has not yet been realized.This is due in large part to the lack of robust tools and infrastructure.The proposed work covers the initial development of a kernel and user interface for isogeometric analysis (IGA).New advances have been made and will be integrated into the kernel and interface.The proposed tasks include integration of a new spli ...

Superconducting radio-frequency receivers, optical absorption energy sensors, and quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize digital communications for manned aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, (UAVs) and satellites. Development of low size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) cryocooler technology is essential since these communication systems must operate at cryogenic temperatures. Turb ...

This project proposes the development of a HOST-based test system using automated test software and integrated hardware test instrumentation that will rapidly and accurately test candidate components for HOST standard conformance in form, fit, and function. The Phase II project will implement and test the Conformance Tool (CT) architecture developed in Phase I. The CT Hardware and Software Archite ...

Modern military and commercial gas turbine engines are subject to increased durability, performance, and safety issues when operating in austere environments where significant quantities of sand, volcanic ash and dust are present and can be ingested into the engines. These environments include desert regions, as well as, previously active/currently active volcanic areas. Military studies of turbin ...

Metabolomics research has great potential, and researchers are rapidly producing new techniques for analyzing the large quantities of measurement data in order to utilize metabolomic data more effectively, including promising techniques for data integration across multiple modalities of data from mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). However, this confluence of data growth a ...

ABSTRACT Solving human health problems often involves technologies developed through the collaborative work of scientistsengineersand mathematiciansDespite the fact that STEMsciencetechnologyengineeringand mathematicscollaboration is a crucial aspect of medical research and healthcare careersmany students are still learning scienceengineeringand math as isolated disciplinesIn additionmany teachers ...
