Thermal batteries are single-discharge reserve batteries that provide a very long shelf life, minimal self-discharge, wide storage temperature range, fast activation under sudden power demand, and also a wide range of temperature operating conditions. 32Upon activation, thermal batteries are heated with an internal pyrotechnic heat charge above the melting temperature of the molten salt electrolyt ...

Emrgy, Inc., a pioneer in commercializing hydrokinetic power systems, is teaming with Premier Energy Holdings, Stanford University and University of Tennessee, Knoxville to develop a highly innovative solution to low-cost, riverine and tidal-based clean energy power generation. The project will implement “dynamic tuning” of the hydrokinetic turbine system to optimize performance across variabl ...

Mezzo and its partners will design, manufacture, and test a supercritical CO2 recuperator designed for high pressure of 275 bar and high temperature of 800 0C. The recuperator will incorporate a new manufacturing approach (laser welded micro tubes) that offers potential to reduce cost. It is well known that recuperator costs are currently very high for applications that involve high temperature an ...

Fundamental limitations to Ku-Band planar phased arrays used for the Starlink LEO constellation limit the portability and power efficiency of a man-portable Starlink user terminal. For example, due to these limitations the power output of the array is increased by 500% over the scan angle range for a nearly 24” diameter phased array, with reports of frequent drop outs of signal. Specifically, St ...

Radio Frequency (RF) Fingerprinting is an important capability for the warfighter to identify threats and protect against malicious attacks on the RF spectrum. Most RF Fingerprinting techniques work by identifying small variations in a transmitted signal that are introduced by hardware components (capacitors, inductors, etc) of the transmitter within the non-linear regions of operation. Neural Net ...

The proposed system will be capable of being weapon mounted on the weapon system, in the Bi-Pod Dovetial mount, for the measuring of the barrel elevation and cant angles in addition to the azimuth pointing reference. The outputs of the device will be transmitted, either wired or wireless (ISW compliant UWB radios) to the Fire Control Unit. The sub-MIL accuracy of the sensors will allow greater res ...

The Precision Targeting High Accuracy Mortar Fire Control System (HAM-FCSt) is a sensor suite and ballistic solution providing equipment that is mounted to the mortar tube and provides the user with real-time critical system information on the fire solution. The intuitive user controls and display system allow the user to focus on the employment of the mortar system and less on the positioning and ...
