The next generation Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio System (MIDS JTRS) is currently undergoing an upgrade to integrate new Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT) capabilities. The high-power processors required generate more heat than previous shop replaceable units (SRUs). The upgraded MIDS JTRS radio terminal will generate up to approximately 30% higher ...

As jet fuel flows through the CuNi fuel lines in aircraft fueling systems, copper (Cu) is dissolved into the fuel. The Cu contamination can reach up to 1 ppmw and these contaminants could catalyze oxidation reactions that cause hydrocarbons to decompose to elemental carbon and form deposits on the fuel lines, valves, injectors, and engine combustion chamber surfaces.TDA Research, Inc. (TDA) propos ...

TDA Research Inc., and its industrial clothing manufacturing collaborator propose to develop a simple, comfortable, lightweight, durable cooling shirt that will keep welders in Navy shipyards cool and comfortable, while protecting them against heat related illness. The shirt uses a minimum of consumables. TDA’s cooling shirt technology has been patented (U.S. 9,635,889 Bl, Cooling Garment, May 2 ...

To address the Navy need for enhanced ambient-noise modeling for sonar-sensor performance estimation, sonar tactical decision aids (TDAs), and simulation-based training, ARiA will develop, demonstrate, and transition key building blocks for an enhanced multidimensional ambient-noise model (MDANM) needed to overcome the limitations of the current state of practice for noise modeling in sonar TDAs a ...

At present, there are no solutions for equipping Class 1 and 2 unmanned aerial system (UAS) platforms with weapons systems that provide the capability for opportunistic engagement of high value targets (HVT). Munitions deployed on larger UAS, and other fixed-wing SOCOM assets, greatly exceed the payload capacity of Class 1 and 2 UAS assets currently in use for intelligence, surveillance, and recon ...

According to the aerospace medical association 70% to 85% of pilot trainees experience motion sickness. Otolith has developed a wearable technology which has been clinically proven to significantly reduce motion sickness in 100% of subjects with reported efficacy greater than pharmaceutical interventions. The AETC is facing a pilot shortage and has expressed desire for Otolith to integrate its tec ...

Our solution to solving complex problems in a rapidly changing environment is leveraging disruptive dual-use technologies that can impact both the public and private sector. We will do this by running an International Defense Accelerator. Doing so ensures the technological edge of the US military and its allies, as the commercial market drives that market forward at the speed of relevance. Additio ...

The Air Force’s ability to efficiently and effectively supply airmen with the most useful and usable equipment is central to its core mission of national defense. Many airmen, however, particularly women, face obstacles to acquiring and using the equipment that they personally need to train and combat at the highest levels of performance. Our objective is to translate the product vision tha ...

Within the increasingly contested undersea operational arena, the Navy needs a tactical and competitive advantage in undersea sensing and detection through improved situational awareness with respect to environmental parameters, such as sound speed profile (SSP) and bottom properties, that affect overall submarine sonar sensor performance. Current approaches for enhancing environmental situational ...

Vita Inclinata has developed a solution to address the systemic capabilities gap in rotary wing suspended load operations- uncontrolled cable motion. Under the 183-001 Phase I effort , the team identified DoD service-wide Search and Rescue (SAR), Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE), and sling load teams who detailed the severity of external load rotary wing rescue missions due to non e ...
