Award Data

Numerous Government Agencies and Commercial Organizations are dependent on mission critical ecosystems (ie federated systems of systems). There are generally multiple systems of systems using various technologies that are difficult to integrate and monitor. They face challenges aggregating all of the subsystem data including the system and application logs, events, and alerts into one central data ...

We propose to develop and demonstrate mid-infrared hollow-core fiber lasers for applications such as LADAR seekers, target illuminators, designators, target trackers, infrared counter measures, and standoff chemical/biological agent detection. We propose to use vibrational Raman gas laser to generate 3-5um radiation pumped by ytterbium, erbium, or thulium fiber lasers. The gas medium might be hydr ...

This proposal seeks funding to develop a small unmanned air system capable of operating indoors, in confined spaces while detecting and recognizing airborne chemical compounds. All the obstacle avoidance, flight control, chemical detection and chemical recognition are done onboard the small unmanned system, in real-time, providing rapid feedback to the operator. The Detection and Recognition of Ai ...

This project aims to develop material that can selectively bind fluorinated contaminants via surface modification of a proprietary material. Specifically, the project will focus on the removal of perfluoocatnoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) which have been widely used for numerous purposes given their unique physical properties. The molecules tend to be both water, oil, and ...

Our group specializing in Micro Computer research of Small Arms aims to make the world’s first "Smart Gun", rifle- sensor integration and Integration of UAV interfaces to Small Arms. We have invented a novel way for a rifle to fire behind cover, or obstacles called the Side Strike Display (SSD) system; while also integrating Micro Computer capabilities to small arms. The Micro Computer Inte ...

By applying a thin film transistor (TFT) array to a flat panel display technology such as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, current high-quality (high-resolution) display products including TV, Tablet PC, and smartphone screens have been successfully realized. However, the rigid and fragile TFT backplanes limit OLED display applications for flexible and wearable display products. The ...

In order to enable reliable predictions based on full scale vehicle simulations relevant to high-speed ISR missions, detailed interactions among various nonequilibrium physical phenomena and their coupling to turbulent flow structures, characterized by a broad range of length/time scales, need to be accurately modeled. Through this Phase II STTR project new computational tools for reliable and eff ...

By developing a miniaturized and deployable EMP-like device, dismounted soldiers will have the ability to engage targets that might otherwise be impossible. Whether it is part of a SAM system deployed to the roof of a hospital or mosque or an armored vehicle in a crowded market place, the ability to act preemptively without having to worry about the protracted political ramifications increases the ...
