Distributed Spacecraft Missions (DSM) architectures provide unique scientific and programmatic benefits including multipoint in-situ measurements, multi-angle viewpoints, and improved understanding of the connections between separately measured phenomena and their time variations. However, these missions impose significant operational demands on ground tracking resources and mission operators alik ...

We will develop a series of object manipulation primitives to pick up and assemble standard mechanical parts such as screws, gears and pulleys that can be configured without any programming skills. Building up on a smart robotic gripper, 3D perception and machine learning algorithms, we will design a graphical user interface for the Universal Robot E-Series that allows an user to label arbitrary 3 ...

The U.S. Army has identified a need for improved soldier and device mobility. To address these needs, ADA Technologies Inc. (ADA) will develop and commercialize our high energy density, long cycle life and safe lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery technology. Our solution is based on proven material design strategies that will improve cell constituent stability via the use of atomic level coatings on the ...

The loadout that a deployed soldier carries is between 97-135 lbs, approximately 5lbs of which are inert brass. This weight not only reduces the soldiers responsiveness during battle but can increase fatigue.Much time and money has been spent on reducing ammunition weight by replacing heavy brass casings with steel or polymers. While these show promise, a combustible cartridge case will not only r ...

Fire can act extremely quickly in military shelters. Improving fire safety begins with understanding the fire dynamics associated with each system. All current shelters are evaluated for fire safety on a component basis only; there are no specifications for how the overall system design relates to generation of flame, heat, and smoke. As such, the Army needs a three-dimensional, reliable and valid ...

The Department of Defense depends on multiple systems to establish and update position information of our forces on the battlefield. However, the current interfacing capability for position location information (PLI) systems is limited to a select few service providers. By adding flexibility to the RF media interface for these systems, new levels of connectedness and reliability can be achieved, p ...

Built from a highly successful Phase I (Base) proof-of-concept technology demonstration, ADA Technologies Inc. (ADA) proposes to further develop, optimize and demonstrate our high energy density, long cycle life and safe Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) battery technology to address the US Army (Army) needs for higher energy density, wide operating temperature, and safe soldier portable energy storage device ...

The United States Navys radar systems provide essential missions in contested environments spanning from long range air surveillance to air marshalling and weapons queuing. Performance and affordability of these radars is paramount. Performance encompasses the inherent ability to execute the mission and overcoming sophisticated threats and adversarial tactics: technical capability and system avail ...

TDA Research, Inc. (TDA) proposes a photocatalytic oxidizer which interacts with ultraviolet light to destroy organophosphate and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in engine bleed air. We will determine the optimal wavelengths for the destruction of bleed air contaminants, including the organo-phosphorous contaminants such as tricresyl phosphate (TCP). In Phase I, we will evaluate the performance o ...

General Aviation (GA) accounts for ninety four percent of all aviation accidents with weather being the most lethal factor.Studies have shown these accidents arise because pilots have difficulty screening out non-essential data, focusing on key facts, and correctly evaluating weather related risks.Adaptive Systems LLC has developed a novel framework called WISE: the Weather Intelligence Support En ...
