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 ...

Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), the “forever chemical,” can be found in aqueous film forming foams (AFFF) and serve as surfactants that spread the foam to deoxygenate and suppress the fire quicker than alternatives on the market without these fluorosurfactants. The downside to using these substances are the high cost of maintenance/labor to remove them from drinking water ...

In this project, Arktonics proposes to develop monolithically integrated GeSn photodetectors on Si for high performance IR imaging sensors.  The proposed sensing materials, GeSn semiconducting alloys, have spectral sensitivity that could cover a broad wavelength range from SWIR, MWIR, to LWIR.  The GeSn sensor array could be manufactured using standard IC industry techniques for high volume pro ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant health issue which affects service members and veterans during times of both peace and war. The high rate of TBI and blast-related concussion events resulting from current combat operations directly impacts th

In this project, Arktonics will develop a revolutionary infrared sensor technology platform offering monolithic integration of Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor (CMOS) circuits with a high-performance detector array made from an emerging group-IV al

Scene simulation is an integral component of weapon system research & development, allowing researchers to evaluate new sensor concepts entirely in the digital space as well as drive scene projection during hardware-in-the-loop testing. Unfortunately, research scientists are limited to a small set of available background environments that cover only a few geographic locations.  VSI proposes GEOSI ...

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

Most of the COTS connectors are constructed from molded plastic (LC and MTP/MPO) and will not survive static drop, mechanical shock, random/constant vibration, constant acceleration and/or thermal shock/cycling. In the space environments (alternate applic

Textile scrims can be engineered to function as robust electromechanical sensors capable of measuring strains present in composite bondlines.  During the proposed effort, the project team seeks to optimize and characterize the performance of these strain
