Transparent armor is very important to the survivability and situational awareness for the crews of modern land, marine or aviation vehicles. Additionally to the common armor requirements (low areal density and high ballistic performance) transparent armor should provide high infrared and visual transmittance. Ceramic ballistic windows meet these requirements, but they often suffer from unaffordab ...

Paragon Space Development Corporation will provide SOCOM with a low-cost, conformal, closed-loop cooling system that is highly resistant to damage and provides superior cooling performance to existing raw water cooling alternatives. This proposed innovation is simple to manufacture, retrofit, and in its final form, is anticipated to entail little to no mass increase over the current system. The c ...

In Phase I MER demonstrated the superior performance and power-to-weight ratios of the VS-Rotary engine. In Phase II MER will team with the University of Arizona who will provide engine modeling, simulation, and analysis along with advanced precision machining and fabrication. MER will also team with NCE of Tucson to provide test and systems integration development of the engine to the applicatio ...

In recent engagements, the military has employed unconventional methods to gain a tactical advantage. One of these methods is increased night patrols and night combat operations using night vision goggles. Even though the capabilities of these devices have increased, they are still large and heavy, which reduces individual mobility and increases soldier fatigue. The classical approach at reduci ...

S5 Wireless has developed a patent pending low cost, low power, long range, deep reach Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum-based wireless tracking and telemetry solution for metropolitan telemetry and tracking markets. This solution is designed to be easy and inexpensive to deploy, low cost and low power, with high triangulation accuracy. S5 Wireless believes that this system offers significant advant ...

At the present time, Chlorine is an indispensible commodity when it comes to disinfecting municipal water supplies. Unfortunately, `chlorine` production and storage installations are under an ever increasing threat of terrorist attacks. Thus, there is a dire need to develop alternative municipal water purification technologies that are inherently more safe and less damaging in the event of a terro ...

Current methods of decontamination have shortcomings regarding their deployment. Cost of storage, requirement of personal protective equipment during its employment, related damage to substrates it is applied to, and clean-up costs are some relevant examples. This project aims to develop a wide-area TIC neutralization technology based on nanoparticles of mixed ionic-electronic conducting metal oxi ...

Vortex Corporation, in partnership with Prof Charles Gerba and Dr. Rip Rice, proposes to address HSARPA`s need for an effective replacement for chlorine as a primary disinfectant. The proposed water disinfection system combines the synergistic effect of UV and Ozone to produce drinking water to EPA requirements. To date, a small scale device has been manufactured and has been shown to exceed Natio ...
