A key focus of the United States government?s energy policy is to develop technologies that will allow the country to reduce Green House Gases by 80% by 2050. In support of this effort, the US Secretary of the Navy has developed a set of energy goals which include producing at least 50% of shore-based energy requirements using alternative sources primarily solar power. We have developed two thin ...

As requested in the Topic presentation, the proposed effort requires an innovative solution to the problems associated with the current Tactical Bulk Fuel Delivery System (TBFDS) Restraint System used in the CH-53K. Safe"s proposed effort will concentrate on development of the proposed concept to solve the stated problems of excessive weight, inability to meet the required retention loads when the ...

The DataSoft Interface Verification Application (DIVA) provides an automated robust solution for accurate and repeatable verification of developer source code compliance to a set of Standard API"s. DIVA generates customized compliance reports for the user that accurately summarize all vendor deviations from the standard API. In addition, DIVA can verify a single API file or all of the API files in ...

Yardney will design and develop a lightweight, safe, reliable, and cost-effective aircraft battery with improved thermal design and the use of active cooling techniques. As a novel part of the battery design, Yardney will investigate and implement high performance electrodes using three dimensional (3D) micro-porous current collectors, safer thin metal case cell design, a micro-channel heat pipe t ...

A model for structural health measurement is desired that is capable of assessing the accumulated damage and remaining useful life of components post-flight. This model will eliminate the need for load tracking during flight and prevent the additional weight and complexity of components utilized during flight. Safe is partnering with researchers at University of Memphis for this work to relate the ...

Combustion instability, or screech, occurs in many modern gas turbine systems, and is due to the complex physical coupling of the acoustic resonances in the combustion chamber with fluctuations in the heat release of the combustion process. These instabilities can produce large pressure fluctuations that can be severe enough to damage engine hardware. Next-generation gas turbines will increase the ...

Secure-Private Area Network (S-PAN) provides a secure, short-range wireless link between COTS end user devices (smartphones/tablets) and associated tactical radios. The tactical radios provide for communications over longer ranges to applications served to the user devices running on secured backend networks. The DoDs field integration and test activities held during NIE 12.1 and 12.2 at the Ft. ...

AdValue Photonics propose a novel single-frequency fiber laser that will be able to deliver high-power, narrow-linewidth, shot-noise-limited laser beam at 1550nm for high-end RF photonics applications. It is based on AdValue Photonics"unique high gain fiber technology. By the end of Phase I, we will demonstrate the feasibility of the concept, i.e., the capability of delivering a fiber laser with 1 ...

The ability of laser vibrometry interferometric sensor to remotely and rapidly detect the presence of soil voids beneath expeditionary airfield Aluminum Matting-2 (AM-2) will be evaluated.

TIPD LLC proposes to develop a diode-pumped, Q-switched narrow spectral-linewidth (
