Award Data

This project will develop a neural network based Figure of Merit or Target Quality Subsystem for use in Carrier and Amphibious Assult Ship Air Traffic Control Subsystem. This system will take sensor data from multiple sensors into the subsystem and determine the actual target location. This will develop confidence in the fused data. It will examine the consistence in target identification. Neural ...

This research effort investigates the use of a passive tracker combined with the appropriate "neural network" or "heuristic" assessment system to determine whether a missile fired at an aircraft is on a collision course. The results of this study will outline a system concept which can be used to assist military aircrews in determining whether a missile has been "defeated" through the use of tacti ...

This proposal is in response to rapid modeling need in our military force. We plan to develop and demonstrate a framework that will allow warfighters to rapidly acquire and edit geospecific terrain databases, including both building exterior and interiors. The output of our models will be in standard 3D format, which can be used in a variety of simulation and training software, including VBS2. We ...

To address a Navy need for a high resolution full color situational awareness displays to optimize human interface for Navy personnel, ships, and crafts, Hitron Technologies Inc. proposes to develop a see-through full color transparent flexible display with collaboration of Liquid Crystal Institute of Kent State University. The transparent flexible display is based on innovative integration of a f ...

The potential for solid fuel ramjets (SFRJ) has been demonstrated over the last 40 years. SRFJ"s have significantly higher impulse than rockets (Isp>1200 sec) making them a competitive solution for long range applications such as missiles, missile interceptors, high speed transport and space vehicle stages. Increasing the regression rate and the energy density of the fuel further improves the adva ...

The need for the United States Navy to maintain a superior global Anti-Submarine Warfare capability is heavily dependent on sonobouys and Navy has identified a need to develop batteries to power sonobuoys which have higher power capabilities than currently used technology. Nanowise LLC proposes to develop a high power MnO2/CFx battery based on interpenetrating conductive network of nanostructures. ...

The proposed effort will create software that will serve as an integration tool to link the results of the material degradation research due to corrosion fatigue into a usable structural analysis tool. Fatigue failure due to corrosion is a multi-disciplinary, multi-scale problem that needs to integrate several mechanisms for accurate simulation of the damage state and better prediction of failure ...
