Research, development, and implementation of Single Surface High Altitude Low Opening (HALO) canopies offer the Marines Corps an opportunity to design and develop an optimized parachute that reduces manufacturing and overall canopy complexities, results in a significantly lighter weight parachute, and reduces packing volume due to reduced material requirements (based on similar sized traditional p ...

RwM Resilient takes Redwall Technologies commercially-available multi-level mobile security solution, Redwall Mobile (RwM), to a new level by layering resilience into its operation. RwM represents the best in class protection for operating systems like Android and provides our patent pending method of combining cryptographic and temporal separation, which may be the only certain way to securely se ...

Identifying and resolving organizational inefficiencies often requires hiring external consultants. The capabilities of collaborative crowdsourcing, however, provide an opportunity for organizations to leverage their own employees to achieve this task. We propose the development of GECKOS (Generating Employee Crowdsourced Knowledge for Organizational Solutions), a tool that integrates a wide range ...

The United States Navy has identified a need for a tool to assist the training of Landing SignalOfficers (LSOs) that provides visualization and analysis of data from embarked carrier landings.BGI, LLC (BGI) has proposed a solution for training LSOs by leveraging the existing CarrierVisualization After-Action Review (AAR) product to create a Landing Signal Officer-DataAnalysis Toolkit (LSO-DAT) tha ...

Development of nanolayer polymer films demonstrated a new class of dielectric film materials for high energy density and high temperature capacitor applications. Current state-of-the-art biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) dielectric films are limited by low dielectric constant (e = 2.25), low energy density and deteriorated high temperature performance. In contrast, multilayer film technology ...

SRICO proposes to develop electro-Optic (EO) phase modulators with stable and flat frequency response, low switching voltage-length product, and multi-decade environmental lifetime for use in strategic-grade high-precision inertial sensor systems. The electro-optic modulator lies at the heart of interferometric fiber-optic gyroscopes (IFOG) and accelerometer sensor systems and ultimately determine ...

The Navys E-2D advanced Hawkeye reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft plans to enhance existing radar capabilities by including an S-Band electronically-scanned array (ESA) aboard the platform. To support the range and signal fidelity needed to perform the surveillance, the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) requires significant improvement over existing solutions, especially in pow ...

Using integrated teams of Operational Analysts experienced with Naval aircrew training and Software Engineers experienced in developing dynamic analysis and reporting tools for aviation, a pragmatic and scalable approach to aircrew performance assessment and proficiency is proposed. Initial techniques to incorporate data fusion of disparate data sources are summarized from past experience and exis ...

The objective of the Topic N181-034 is to develop concepts for a cut-resistant vibration isolation module (VIM) hose, which plays an essential role maintaining the performance of the TB-37 Towed Array System. VIMs act as a shock absorber that attenuates effects of mechanical noise caused by ship motion and the tow cable’s strum. The proposed effort will use a comprehensive materials-based approa ...

The research objective of the proposed work is to develop a concept for a feed-forward control (FFC) hardware, algorithms, and multi-physics-based models to allow real-time tracking of powder bed layer variability and corresponding laser processing parameter compensation to improve the quality of laser fusion-based metal additive manufacturing (AM) parts. The FFC concept is designed to compensate ...
