The current state of the art thermal battery technologies will not be able to meet future requirements that call for higher power and capacity with a smaller footprint. The principal avenue for increasing the capacity of thermal battery is to identify and develop new electrode materials that provide higher specific capacity and power performance. The overall objective of the proposed effort is to ...

This research develops an algorithm capable of reliable target classification for a wide range of targets, including, but not limited to, Rockets, Artillery and Mortars (RAM); Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs); and cruise missiles. For defensive High Energy Laser (HEL) missions, the engagement timeline can be very short. Thus, it is highly desirable to have a robust target classification system that ...

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to

Currently, deployed medics are required to transport, maintain and be resupplied with liquid-based medications and materials that are heavy, expensive to transport, perishable and may require refrigeration. Many medications and materials are or will soon

Across the United States (US) Department of Defense (DoD) there is growing concern about the US’s ability to counter emerging air and missile threats from peer and near-peer adversaries. The coordinated use of all available sensor and weapon assets may serve to reduce the advantages afforded to our adversaries by these new threats. The Army’s Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) program s ...

The focus of the Innovative Rendering for Simulation Phase II effort is to implement the proof-of-concept Unified Physics-based Rendering System (UPRS) in order to deliver new capabilities to the modeling and simulation community. UPRS will provide the government with a tailored HW and SW solution optimized for the specific simulation rendering needs. UPRS will be delivered as a Government Open So ...

Through a collaboration, Monte Sano Research Corporation and Southern Research have recently developed a novel, low-cost signal source for spread spectrum radar and communications systems. This source is capable of producing broadband signals using a printed circuit board and inexpensive (

The U.S. military employs many Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) sensor platforms to enhance targeting, situational awareness, intelligence and reconnaissance operations. Pulsed lasers operating in the IR are increasingly becoming more compact and powerful and can cause permanent damage to EO/IR sensors. It is therefore important to develop EO/IR counter countermeasure technologies to protect the s ...

Noise in the source data limits effectiveness and utility of models, algorithms and tools used by the Army for Condition Based Maintenance (CBM+) of its aviation fleet. This impedes the sustainment and availability of its aviation fleet. The Data Refinery for Aviation Sustainment (DRAS) applies methods and techniques from statistics, data science, machine learning and data management to refine the ...

Pulse voltammetry techniques, coupled with model-based analysis tools, provide a number of advantages for quantitative analysis of electrochemically active materials that govern the performance of batteries and fuel cells. In prior Phase I and II research, CFD Research developed and validated computational models in software that reads voltammogram data from laboratory instruments; predicts the re ...
