Army defense technologies for high speed threat intercept increasingly rely on vehicle maneuverability through both aerodynamic and thrust augmentation. Similarly, threats have relied on equally maneuvering defenses to avoid intercept. Thus, it is in the interest of any defense system to target the threat at any point in the battlespace where it is most vulnerable, potentially resulting in interce ...

The development of a high fidelity, generalized computational framework with the necessary physical submodels incorporated for the analysis of multiphase, combusting, internal and external ballistic flows is proposed. The focus in Phase I will be developing a framework based on an existing unstructured multi-element, fully implicit, CFD code to provide an end-to-end analysis capability for interna ...

This project will demonstrate a cost-effective high-speed millimeter wave camera that can image and resolve moving objects from 3 m to 30 m away to enable curb-to-gate screening for airports. Millimeter wave light is often used for security screening because it is safe to use on people and can penetrate packaging, bags, and clothing to identify both metallic and non-metallic objects. The technolog ...

The primary objective of the A-WUPC Phase II Sequential program is to enhance warfighter lethality by leveraging innovative technology to decrease the size and weight of mission critical power electronics carried by the Soldier. The proposed system aims to provide more power, in smaller/lighter packages, with improved ruggedness and reliability. By continuing the evolution of the Warfighter Univer ...

INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE IS NORMALLY ACCOMPLISHED BY HIGHLY TRAINED, HIGHLY SKILLED TECHNICANS. THE ABILITY TO PLACE SUCH SKILLED PERSONNEL IN "REMOTE-FIELD POSITIONS" HAS BECOME ECONOMICALLY IMPRACTICAL BASED ON THE NUMBER OF FAILURES THAT OCCUR AND THE HIGH COST OF TRAINING. THIS BEING THE CASE, WE MUST LOOK TO STATE-OF-THE-ART ADVANCES IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO BRING THE EXPERTISE OF THESE ...

THIS PROJECT DEVELOPS AN INTELLIGENT INTERFACE FOR A COMMAND AND CONTROL DECISION-MAKER TRYING TO USE MULTIPLE ARTIFICAL-INTELLIGENCE BASED DECISION AIDS IN A COORDINATED MANNER. IT ADDRESSES THE CRITICAL NEED FOR COMMAND AND CONTROL DECISION-MAKERS TO BE ABLE TO USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AIDS WITHOUT COMPROMISING THEIR INTUITIVE COGNITIVE APPROACH TO THE REAL TIME AND MULTI-TASKING DEMANDS OF C ...

THE TACTICS AND DOCTRINE OF THE MODERN BATTLEFIELD DICTATE THE NEED FOR INTELLIGENT MACHINES TO ASSIST HUMAN OPERATORS. THE TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATED WITH ENCAPSULATING THE KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNIQUES USED IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) TO CAPTURE THE REASONING PROCESS THAT HUMAN EXPERTS PERFORM WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON FUTURE COMPUTER SYSTEMS FOR THE MILITARY. EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT AS THE DEVEL ...

Rapid and reliable deployment of medical countermeasures following likely exposure to a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) agent is critical for maintaining the working efficiency and health of the exposed soldier. In this application, we propose a simple, efficient, and easy-to-activate sub-dermal biomaterial-based drug delivery system whose lack of moving parts will serve to s ...

RE2, Inc. proposes to develop the Biomechanical Exoskeleton Simulator System (BESS), an integrated simulator system to model the interaction between a robotic exoskeleton and the human user and the effect of the use of such assistive devices. This system
