"Jaia Robotics’ low-cost, micro-sized hybrid uncrewed surface/underwater vehicles called JaiaBotsTM can be deployed from the shore or vessels. The system enables truly affordable multivehicle operations that can be scaled to provide wide area synoptic data collection. In the proposed effort the project team will develop a JaiaBot which is air-deployable from sonobuoy launch tubes to collect atmo ...

A cloud based system for sharing bathymetric survey data collected by FarSounder customers is proposed as a way(1) to improve safety of navigation on our oceans, (2) to collect measurements for the broader scientific and maritime communities and (3) to generally explore and broadly share information about our oceans in fulfillment of ideas proposed in Topic 9.3 “The Changing Ocean”, and in acc ...

Green Mountain Semiconductor Inc. is proposing a design and method for evaluation pursuant to the solicitation H6.22-1123. The hardware proposal is a radiation hard neural processor with embedded MRAM in an FD-SOI process; however, much of the innovation is put into the evaluation of error tolerance and design solutions to statistical radiation effects. Most fault tolerant design solutions imply a ...

It is important to consider lithium-ion battery limitations particularly regarding temperature range, to ensure safe and successful mission outcomes. We have developed a gel polymer electrolyte that meets stringent requirements of high safety, stability, and non-flammabilitynbsp;for implantable medical devices and plannbsp;to further developnbsp;this electrolyte for use in cells operating in extre ...

The project objective is to greatly reduce the cost of monitoring soil water content in highly-resolved vertical profile to promote increased adoption of more efficient water management tools. Cost is the most significant barrier to adoption of sophisticated data-driven irrigation management in permanent agriculture. Highly-resolved vertical soil water profiles are needed to learn soil-specific hy ...

Prescribed burns are a critical aspect of land management, but they require vegetation data that is hard to obtain at high resolution and on the timescale required. Our autonomous UAV collects critical fire modeling variables through subcanopy flight, enabling rapid surveys for faster and safer burn planning. In Phase I, we proved the feasibility of mapping live fuel moisture content (LFMC) with s ...

NASA has previously developed its 3D-TPS conceptnbsp;which offers superior mass efficiency relative to legacy carbon-phenolic TPS.nbsp; Multiple 3D-TPS recipes developed to date includenbsp;a spun carbon:phenolic yarn constituent.nbsp; Future recipes may require alternate yarn constructionsnbsp;(denier, blend ratios, fiber chemistries, etc.) in order to tailor TPS properties to specific mission re ...

NASA is in need of affordable and robust cryogenic cooling solutions for use in space applications.nbsp; In support of the Artemis program, NASA seeks innovative integrated refrigeration cycles for use in liquefaction of hydrogen and oxygen from the lunar surface. Based on initial estimates from Phase I activities, 330+ W of cooling is needed at 90 K and 130+ W of cooling is needed at 20 K to supp ...

Wildfire response planning is limited by the lack of high-resolution data for use in wildfire prediction. Wildfire models depend on many variables, including weather, topography, vegetation type and arrangement, fuel moisture content, and regional fire prevention measures, among others. Some of these variables are static or nearly so, but some of these are highly dynamic. In particular, live fuel ...

TEAM, Inc. proposes to advance the state of the art of C-C material systems and preforming methods for use in hot structure applications.nbsp; A program with parallel Testing and Process Development tracks is planned:nbsp;Testing Program:The carbon-phenolic material system from Phase I will be replaced with C-C and C-C/SiC matrix in Phase II.nbsp; (densification sub-contractor Exothermics.)nbsp; T ...
