Differential equations are widely used to analyze and simulate the dynamics of complex systems in the physical, biological and social sciences. Inferences with such models are challenging due to both statistical and computational complexity. Stan is a widely used, open-source, probabilistic programming language and Bayesian inference engine. We propose to extend Stan by incorporating solvers for o ...

Current state of the art oxidizers have been in service for decades, leaving the performance of our munitions and propulsion systems unchanged while our tactical objectives have increased in their requirements. Keeping with ongoing changes in the worlds military, maintaining a tactical advantage while meeting or exceeding mission capability requirements is of utmost importance for our nation. As s ...

The Navy seeks new energetic and oxidizing ingredients for use in propellant and explosive formulations of modern weapons systems. With recent developments in the design and synthesis of new energetic molecules, we have the opportunity to take the steps needed before these materials can successfully transition to use in next generation propulsion and ordnance systems. TDA Research and the Universi ...

High power switching devices are needed for all manner of weapon and defense systems as well as commercial power intense applications. Monoclinic beta()-Ga2O3 is an attractive material for power devices and is in its infancy with respect to development. It has the advantage of having large area economical substrates for device production. We have multiple early stage fielded tools and an in-house ...

Prof. Diezs group at Rutgers University has developed a small platform for an unmanned aerial and submersible system that it is capable of operating in air and underwater with seamless transition between both mediums. This small platform is currently being optimized by his group for improved (1) control and (2) robustness, and it will be incorporating capabilities to it include (3) communication a ...

As Navy combat systems evolve, the heat loads produced by electronics enclosures continues to increase. Legacy thermal management techniques for these enclosures such as liquid cooling coupled to the ship chilled water supply and direct air cooling of the cabinets require infrastructure such as pipes and ducts which are expensive to install and reconfigure. Mainstream proposes to design a vapor co ...

The ISSAC Team leverages existing knowledge and expertise in power system monitoring, fault identification, localization and isolation in conjunction with rich, deep data analytics for pattern matching to devise a system for Medium Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) power system fault management. Because of the differences between AC and DC power grids there are a significant number of problems in deal ...

Micro-RDC will develop portable radiation effects test structures that scales to new process nodes. These structures will enable the investigation of the effects of radiation on the new technology from the material processing level as well as the circuit level. The production of the chosen structures and the development of software to extract the model parameters will form the framework. A suit ...

The main focus of this research will be to develop effective modeling toolboxes to analyze CM current/voltage behaviors and fault conditions at any part of the power system in a cost and time effective way. The toolbox will assist with grounding strategies and enhance the baseline design. A CM equivalent circuit model [3] has been developed to analyze the CM current/voltage behaviors. In this work ...
