Award Data

Military Environmental Control Units (ECUs) are one of the greatest consumers of electric energy in forward operating bases (FOBs). Microchannel condensers have replaced tube-fin coils in both military ECUs and commercial air conditioners to improve system efficiency. Flow into the condenser is single-phase superheated vapor and therefore uniform flow distribution through multiple parallel microch ...

SoarTech, along with our partners Adaptive Cognitive Systems and Aptima, are applying our vast expertise in the design, development and integration of artificial intelligence technologies, bringing it to bear to help develop more realistic entity-level scenarios for USMC simulated training. Most crucial to our work will be the design and development of a full infrastructure, called SERUM (Simulate ...

The amazing ability of humans to recognize a wide variety of sounds with minimal exposure to the myriad of subtle nuances and possible variations of these sounds has driven intense research into modeling the neurobiological processes of hearing over the last 25 years. The field of study focused on processes in the early auditory system and primary auditory cortex has made substantial advancements ...

SC2RAM (Simulated Cognitive Cyber Red team Attacker Model) is a cyber red team-in-a-box. It combines the cognitive power of human attackers with the efficiency and re-producibility of a computer program. It helps organizations defend against cyber attacks through at least three transition pathways: operator training, testing and certification of defensive automation, and analysis of cyber operatio ...

Decisions made at concept design have profound impacts on total life cycle cost. The industry trend is to apply automated software tools during concept design so larger numbers of alternatives can be evaluated and optimal, feasible solutions identified. Current ship concept design software tools lack the ability to synthesize physical layouts for shipboard distribution systems. Without sized and l ...

Subsequent Phase II Proposal, extension of Phase II contract N0014-12-C-0373. High power, superconducting electron linear accelerators represent a new method of producing highly focused electron beams (Ebeams). These instruments have exciting applications in the area of free electron lasers and directed energy weapons, but are costly and currently only useful in small, highly-specialized markets. ...

Softronics Ltd. proposes a module-by-module design refresh of the emergency HF transmitter, based on system analysis and critical circuit/component testing done in Phase I. Specifically, each of the six module types will be replaced by a PCB/SMT equivalent module that is fit/function interchangeable. Obsolete and/or troublesome components will specifically be replaced, otherwise legacy circuitry w ...

This Phase II project will continue the prototype development of a pharmaceutical spray quality audit system. The spray quality audit system will estimate the planar mass distribution, mass flux, and drop size of pharmaceutical sprays that are used in functional coating applications and inhalers. A prototype tomography system will be designed and fabricated and evaluated using various fluorophore.

GameSim is proposing to rapidly design and develop an extensible correlation assessment framework by reusing underlying technologies in Conform, an existing commercial off-the-shelf source data visualization and analysis tool developed in-house. GameSim will leverage the Phase I research effort to identify the critical data points where miscorrelation can most influence fair fight between distribu ...

The Marine Assessment Decision Planning Tool for Protected Species (MADPT PS) will integrate existing databases into a single tool to support operational mission planning and risk assessments to protected marine species. Our approach to the development of the functional components of the MADPT PS software is the use of services oriented architecture (SOA) and data model mediation capabilities of e ...
