Award Data

There are many data intensive mission payloads for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) that collect more data than is practical to transmit through the downlink. The ability to autonomously process and classify this data on board can significantly reduce the downlink bandwidth requirements, thereby making it more feasible to transmit products directly to commanders in the field or ...

VINI Phase II will develop an end-to-end big network data visualization system. The VINI Phase II system will include visual decluttering features that simplify the display of graph data as the number of nodes and links increases. In addition, it will have visual interaction tools that allow users to find and filter data and metadata for the network in an intuitive manner. We will also develop an ...

This project aims to further develop the technology of frequency stabilized lasers for microwave generation, laser radar and other precision measurement applications. The goal is to decrease the noise floor of the stabilized laser to ~ 6 x 10^-16 at 1 s, and improve operational robustness to allow the device to be transported and operated at the Hz level in stand-alone operation, and mitigate the ...

The Return on Investment Tool for Effective Medical Training (RITE-MT) tool aims to substantially improve the decision making process of training system requirements and acquisition professionals by objectively quantifying training system Return On Training Investment (ROTI) based on lifecycle cost, schedule and performance impacts. RITE-MT uses a training needs-based approach to ROTI which incorp ...

Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular 20-107B provides guidance on the achievement of compliance with Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations regarding airworthiness type certification requirements for composite aircraft structures necessi

Pressure gain combustion has the potential to significantly improve the specific fuel consumption for gas turbine engines by realizing a pressure rise through the combustor as opposed to a pressure drop. One drawback to this form of combustion is the cycl

Concern has been raised over the prevalence of behavioral health disorders in military personnel returning from deployment to the Middle East. While not appearing as an overt physical injury, disruptions of a psychological nature are often as debilitating, and there is an increasing need for support tools. Such tools should allow for standardized tracking, monitoring, and mitigation of anger and ...

SpeakAgent is a non-instructional, multimodal, game-based approach to naturally acquiring foreign languages that applies recent findings in neurolinguistics and second language acquisition theory. It seeks to maximize auditory input and imbue it with relevance and meaning in the game context, thereby overpowering the theorized"native language magnet"effect. It does this through the use of narrativ ...

Orbital Research Inc (Cleveland, Ohio) with industry partner Cobham Mission Systems Division (Orchard Park, New York) intends to develop a Microsystem for Controlling Warfighter Physiology. This solution will enable extreme dive profiles involving free fall, combat dives and sustained exposure to altitude during extraction. The Orbital Research solution will draw upon state of the art breathing ...

Good hearing is critical to understanding verbal communications, and to auditory situational awareness in military training and on the battlefield. Also, hearing protection is critical to the health and safety of those exposed to hazardous noise. In veteran"s compensation cases, Tinnitus and Hearing loss are the two most common disabilities awarded by the VA. Exposure to high noise levels, both ...
