The Hi-Q Military Antenna product is compact, high power, mobile high frequency (HF) radio antennas for the US military, allied nations and commercial customers world-wide. This product enables customers to communicate rapidly, using HF radios, over-the-h

BTech proposes a directional hydrophone for acoustic noise measurements for various host platforms including floats, gliders, and observation buoys. The BTech design is provided in Phase I report including sensing concept and configuration, mechanical packing, power consumption, communication interfaces, sensor (re)calibration methodology, algorithms to extract the information content of the ocean ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is a tool to help mitigate the wildfire crisis in the western United States. Prescribed burns are one of the most effective ways to prevent the uncontrolled, large-scale wildfires that devastate entire ecosystems, communities, and economies, but the environmental assessment required for burns may delay ...

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

The application of benchmarking tools in healthcare can be challenging due to the inherent diversity of patient populations (i.e.; some patient groups are sicker than others).  Alexandria Health has generated a novel machine learning based transparent ben

Turnagain Heavy Lift proposes the development of a UAS flight control system for eVTOL to autonomously land on and dock with software-identified cargo containers. This flight control system can be used on our own Turnagain UAS platform or adapted for any

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is the introduction of a new wind farm control strategy that is expected to increase the power generated by a typical wind farm by 3-10%.Wind farm owners and operators face continuous pressure to reduce the price per megawatt-hour of the grid energy that they produce.Improving the energy yield ...

Accurate 3D models are vital for the inspection and characterization of orbiting spacecraft. 3D models of a target spacecraft can be generated from a set of images captured by an approaching platform, but the accuracy and completeness of the generated 3D model is highly dependent on the geometry of the captured viewpoints and illumination conditions; if navigation is planned without consideration ...

In May 2019, the Defense Health Board (DHB) released a report finding that the Military Health System (MHS) was endangering patient and warfighter lives by not adequately training for, measuring, and benchmarking the outcomes of low-volume, high-risk procedures. More than 30 years of healthcare research demonstrate that patient outcomes for procedures are significantly better in facilities that ro ...

By integrating conductors into composite structures, data and power networks can become part of the vehicle’s airframe, allowing for size, weight, and assembly savings and improved mission endurance.  During the proposed effort, project team members Nautilus Defense, The University of Rhode Island, and Goetz Composites seeks to validate the structural and electrical performance of these compo ...
