AMBP Tech in collaboration with the ESI of SUNY UB has demonstrated the improvement of surface flashover on dielectrics by a factor of 2x utilizing laser processing techniques. Based on our extensive experimentation and characterization in Phase I we have developed a working hypothesis that unites the debating theories of surface flashover propagation and a path to increasing the surface flashove ...

The objective of the phase 1 and 2 SBIR Topic 04-005, “Adaptive Bandwidth High Power RF Antenna” program is to develop miniaturized, high power antenna over the customer desired frequency range of 100 MHz to 95 GHz, with typical bandwidths of 2:1, up to 10:1 with a high gain of 12dBi (minimum) and operating under high powers of possible 2° Megawatts at the lower frequencies and 100 Kilowatts ...

A Combat Load Assessment Device (CLAD)has been proposed based on BH Technology's Flexivibe load cell technology. The resulting scale and hand held controller are lightweight, rugged, low cost, high impact resistant and have an accuracy of 1 part in 10,000. The CLAD measures both height and weight of the individual soldier. The flexivibe load cell senses the deflection of the load cell body due to ...

Radioisotopes, nuclear isomers and deployable micro-reactors are of special interest as energy storage devices because they have the potential to store energy with higher energy density and longer life than chemical and most other devices. If isomer energy can be released by excitation (triggering) or if the energy of deployabls reactors is cotrolled externally, they can provide on-demand high pow ...

Fast acquisition and tracking of GPS signals are necessary in various military and civilian sectors. These are essential for operations under high dynamics as well as degraded conditions such as jamming and obscuration. Direct P/Y code acquisition under degraded condition involves external aiding in terms of precise time, ephemeris or other relevant data in order to facilitate the search process ...

Effects Based Operations (EBO) is defined as “a process for obtaining a desired strategic outcome or "effect" on the enemy, through the synergistic, multiplicative, and cumulative application of the full range of military and nonmilitary capabilities at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels.” Often disregarded in this thinking, however, are the unintended secondary effects of milita ...

The DDS and other tactical networks are highly dynamic and contain an unknown number of data sources at any point in time. The number of data sources on these networks is growing at a much faster pace than our ability to discover them and process the information they provide into usable information. Our Phase I result, the Bayesian Optimization Battle Command Analysis Tool (BOBCAT), address this ...

Electrical Distribution Design (EDD), Virginia Tech, Consolidated Edison, Detroit Edison and Sapias propose to develop a web-enabled Distributed Operations Center (DOC) workstation to provide new hazard management analysis capability for coordinating resp

There exists a need to develop therapeutic strategies for the pharmacological modulation of angiogenesis to maintain force readiness. Angiogenesis is the development and growth of new capillary blood vessels from the existing vasculature. While increased vascularization of wounded tissue is essential for wound healing, increased angiogenesis is also critical in the progression of several patholo ...

Recently, there have been a growing number of rapid fluorescence-based assays for detection and study of biothreat agents, particularly bacterial pathogens and toxins, and inhibitors thereof. Of the bacterial toxins, foremost are the lethal toxin (LT) of Bacillus anthracis and the neurotoxins (BoNT) of Clostridium botulinum which also have medical applications that warrant sensitive assays for in ...
