ABSTRACT:The Air Force has a need to maintain strong intelligence capability in semi-permissive and anti-access area denial (A2/AD) scenarios where full-motion video (FMV)-based surveillance assets are rare or unavailable. In such environments, priority is given to leveraging any and all other sources of intelligence available, which may include ?open sources? of data available on the public Web, ...

ABSTRACT: Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT) proposes to develop a Liquid Desiccant (LD) based Air Washer (AW) by utilizing Vortical-flow, Direct-contact Mass Exchanger (VDMX) technology recently developed by ACT. This system is based on principles similar to conventional Liquid Desiccant Air Conditioning systems (LDAC), such as falling film or porous wheel, but with the added capability ...

ABSTRACT: The thermal spray process has many inherent complexities within each sub-process including feedstock manufacturing, component surface preparation and masking, torch parameter selection, robot trajectory and laboratory coating evaluation. Each sub-process is governed by rigid specifications that provide thermal spray applicators with procedural and process guidelines throughout the appl ...

ABSTRACT:The Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) represents the nations largest aerospace ground test facilities and includes several wind tunnels that are unlike any other in the world.AEDC routinely provides aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic ground testing to evaluate aerodynamic and propulsion system performance under hypersonic conditions.Its facilities are used to test the flight an ...

ABSTRACT: Assured Information Security, Inc. (AIS) proposes Endpoint-Operated Link-assured Security (EOLuS), an effort to develop a product with the capability for realizing continuous end-to-end trust (EtET) in a dynamic network a network in which every client would verify and monitor the trustworthiness of its peers prior to communicating sensitive information. After the successful completion ...

ABSTRACT: VSI proposes the development of the SIGMA (Speedy Imagery Geo-registration and Motion Analysis) system, which will address three key requirements by the end of Phase II: (i) adapt to different type of sensors, sensor-configurations and sensor operating conditions, (ii) handle large amount of data in real-time or close to real-time using limited resources, and (iii) operate under conditi ...

First Responders need to leverage automated (M2M machine-to-machine), mobile connectivity at an incident site. With connectivity automated through M2M network technology, responders would have much improved situational awareness, and can effectively focus their complete attention on the necessary emergency response actions. We propose to develop a futuristic automated M2M prototype system/architec ...

The Materials Genome Initiative, in which DOE is participating through its Basic Energy Sciences program, aims to \support US institutions in the e ort to discover, manufacture, and deploy advanced materials twice as fast at a fraction of the cost". This can only be achieved by making signi cant improvements to the way that we use predictive capabilities to go from initial concept to manufactured ...

Solid State Detection Devices LLC proposes to develop a new commercially viable next generation thermal neutron detecting system based on well established silicon integrated circuit technology. Hexagonal holes in honeycomb fashion with depth greater than 50 microns and vertical side walls will be fabricated on bulk silicon wafers of right conductivity using a combination of deep reactive ion etchi ...

RE2, Inc. proposes to develop a specialized payload for the Squad-Multipurpose Equipment Transport (S-MET) vehicle to assist the combat medic with extraction of a combat casualty in dangerous environments. The combat medic is one of the most dangerous and demanding responsibilities in warfare. Often in the course of reaching, assessing, and treating a wounded soldiers injuries, the combat medic an ...
