Development of a small UAS compatible Micro IFF transponder including Modes 1,2,3A,C,S , Dual band ADS-B, UAT, Mode 5 and interrogator. All modes include both receive (in) and transmit (out). Size is less than 8 cu inches and weight is under 6 oz with full AIMS 17-1000 compliance, including 500 watt output with diversity. Unit is also low cost and low maintenance. Unit meets full military temperat ...

The DoD is faced with the national security challenge of developing adversary-exceeding military capabilities, across a variety of possible scenarios and contexts, over an enduring period into the future. This challenge is highly complex but can be addressed using state-of-the-art decision sciences, analytics, and artificial intelligence at both the system and the portfolio capability levels. This ...

In today’s Urban-Warfare Command and Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C2ISR) environment, current sensor platforms have a limited operational capability due to power consumption and recharge times. Many times these sensor packages are found to be unsuitable for many battlefield environments due strictly to their endurance limitations. Much of the research done to date has ...

The AEDC Aero Propulsion Test Unit (APTU) facility completed successful operation at Mach 6 and Mach 7 direct connect tunnel conditions utilizing a prototype Mach 5 free-jet configured Combustion Air Heater (CAH) injection system developed by CFD Research Corporation. These results and upgrades proposed here were presented at the 2018 Hypersonic Technology & Systems Conference. This effort will fu ...

The growing demand for flexible, extended duration UAS has accelerated LR, U-LE, and UAS requirements. The required UAS will host Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation of future airborne communication sensors; Aerial-Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance; Electronic Warfare systems; and BLOS capabilities. This new suite of unmanned aerial sensor with real-time communication capabi ...

The objective of the Phase II Program under Topic N181-034 is to support the construction and transition of the improved, cut-resistant Vibration Isolation Module (VIM) hose into fleet operations. During the Phase I effort, METSS clearly demonstrated proof-of-concept designs to toughen the VIM’s outer jacket against associated forces related to high-tension, longline fishing tackle. However, the ...

Under the subsequent Phase II program, Analysis, Design & Diagnostics, Inc. will work closely with the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the technical development team from NSWC Panama City to further advance this technology to support mining S&T programs in both shallow and deep water environments. The culmination of this effort will be an end-to-end technology demonstration of the next generati ...

Phoenix merges current state of the art inflatable soft structure technologies with extensive marine experience to demonstrate the Sea Water Inflated – Launch and Recovery System (SWI-LARS) concept as an enabling technology for the use of soft inflatable structures as components to undersea payload launch and recovery (L&R) system used in 21-inch diameter by 25-foot long tube. Based on experienc ...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a shockingly common clinical sleep disorder that has systemic and devastating health consequences. OSA affects nearly 30 million Americans, and is also highly prevalent in active duty military personnel with nearly 225,000 cases diagnosed between 2004 and 2016. Current treatment methods for OSA are cumbersome and often discarded by patients. Untreated OSA has been ...

UES has developed a suite of ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) materials, produced using their novel “Top Downâ€Â process, that display an unusually attractive balance of properties, that include high strength/toughness and good oxidation/erosion resistance. These materials are very attractive for use in extreme environments, where high temperature resistance (>3400 °C [>6000Â� ...
