NDT Corp. will take the currently developed ACTT system, which can accurately assess the internal condition of concrete crossties and increase its speed.FRA 23-FR1 requests a system that at high speeds can assess both the internal and external condition of concrete crossties.Currently there are systems that can perform the external assessment at the required speeds.However, there is no system that ...

First responders to hazardous material (HAZMAT) incidents face many safety risks daily, such as exposure to hazardous chemicals and toxic gases, which can be difficult to detect. Although there have been advancements in wearable sensors for hazardous gases, sensor technology for HAZMAT incident response lags behind sensor technology advancement in biomedical fields. There is a need to integrate se ...

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 ...

There is a critical need to develop a non-toxic, regenerative carbon dioxide (CO2) scrubber material with enhanced scrubbing capacities and safety for rebreather applications. The current state-of-the-art (SOA) scrubber material for rebreather is soda lime. Despite its overall robustness, soda-lime is highly toxic, has low CO2 capacity, and is non-regenerative. Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) will de ...

Imperia Batteries proposes to develop an integrated separator-electrode-electrolyte composite architecture incorporating conductive electrolyte components in a polymer-ceramic composite separator that is directly applied to electrodes, simultaneously improving energy density and safety. This technology will improve safety by reducing the possibility for a cell to short-circuit via electrode misali ...

Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) present a growing threat in the US defense arena as both low-cost intelligence gathering and payload delivery capabilities for adversaries, posing security risks to both military and civilian assets. Detecting, tracking, and identifying UAS threats has been accomplished with conventional imaging and radar techniques, but each technology has limitations. Passive imagi ...

This research proposes a data-driven and multi-perspective solution to reduce injuries and fatalities due to bus collisions with other vehicles. It goes beyond reviewing historical bus crash reports by collecting field LiDAR data for better understanding a variety of factors that may contribute to bus collisions and injuries/fatalities. It also recognizes that collision avoidance technologies (whi ...

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 ...

Precision-guided munitions have demonstrated dramatic effects with minimal collateral damage. New technology developed specifically to deny them accurate guidance information is now feasible, even for non-traditional adversaries. Further, digital communications are flooding the air with signals that interfere with communications many guidance methods rely on. Swarms of small, covert small Uncrewed ...
