Thousands of canines are on active duty/deployed at any given time, protecting their human partners from threats and attacks. When MWDs are injured in austere/remote locations, professional veterinary care is often unavailable. Non-veterinary healthcare providers are expected to provide lifesaving care until higher-level veterinary care can be reached. A significant gap exists in canine training a ...

ABSTRACT: When a structure breaks up following a blast event, it allows the blast wave to propagate through a new opening into another airspace; this continuation of the blast wave is called"secondary blast"and may cause damage to elements in the other airspace. Each step in this process is a candidate for some type of acceleration. Current assessment codes incorporate several Fast Running Model ...

What if you had the power of a fixed wing UAS + the ease and portability of quadcopter– all from a rucksack, yet could function as a an accelerated target engagement system with a modular payload including a droppable integration for increased flexibility

The technology resulting from this effort will provide a comprehensive thermomechanical/ impact wear model. This integrated model will consider the developed thermal energy due to sliding friction and impact loading of the wear surface. In addition to the development of the theoretical model, a unique bench wear fixture will be designed, fabricated, and validated. This fixture will provide varia ...

The technology resulting from this effort will provide a theoretical wear model which, although focused on predicting slipper surface wear associated with Air Force high-speed sleds, can be utilized with appropriate input modifications to predict wear in a range of mechanical devices where high-pressure and high-velocity surfaces are utilized. In addition, a high-speed, high-pressure pin-on-disk ...

Collaborative, integrated information environments are a powerful way to connect teams and allow them to share diverse sources of information. Teams equipped with such an environment have the power to jointly analyze data contained in integrated legacysystems, despite lack of interoperability among the systems. Collaborative features such as threaded discussions, document sharing, and linked issu ...

This ACE Phase II SBIR proposes an innovative approach to providing universal access to enterprise knowledge in order to meet critical needs of both government and commercial organizations. This SBIR will be conducted in close concert with the 45th Space Wing (45 SW) of the Air Force Space Command. 45 SW provides space launch and range support for the Air Force, DoD, civil, and commercial custom ...

PROCESSING OF SAR DATA IN REAL TIME REQUIRES HIGH SPEED COMPUTATION DEVICES CURRENTLY BEYOND THE STATE-OF-THE-ART OF CONVENTIONAL METHODS. DESIRED PROCESSORS MUST ALSO BE SMALL, RUGGED AND LOW POWER TO BE DEPLOYED ON AIRCRAFT. OPTICAL TECHNIQUES CAN SATISFY THESE REQUIREMENTS WITH IMAGINATIVE ARCHITECTURES. THIS PROPOSAL PRESENTS AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH FOR REAL TIME SAR IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION THAT C ...

Military decision makers are faced with vast arrays of complex interrelated data from numerous sources leading to information overload for military planners and analysts. Probabilistic information strategies have shown significant promise towards improving the current state of information fusion. However, the ability and time required for SMEs to provide realistic probability estimates has pr ...

This SBIR Phase II project, called the Athena Channelizer Technology 1, or ACT1, involves the realization of a new channelizer technology that will meet the needs of Department of Defense Transformational Communications program. Transformational communications is part of the military’s overhaul of its currently diffused communications assets into an integrated system that expands military commun ...
