The Army has a need for a power source enclosed in a box for monitoring the health of munitions in storage for extended periods of time of 10 or more years unattended while delivering power intermittently over that storage period with enough power tomonitor the munition health at army-required extreme ambient storage conditions. A trade study in Phase I identified some potential chemistries suitab ...

The goal of the Advanced Traffic Controller (ATC) program to create an open-architecture general computation platform for traffic engineering applications will be more fully realized by the transition from proprietary operating systems to open source Linux. The use of hard real-time Linux will maintain current levels of operational performance while enabling the use of newer and more powerful har ...

The TEXAS Model for Intersection Traffic is a high quality single intersection microscopic traffic simulation model developed at The University of Texas at Austin. The TEXAS Model analyzes in sub microscopic detail the behavior of driver-vehicle units as they go through an intersection and intermix with other traffic flows. The TEXAS Model has detailed intersection geometry, path following, micr ...

This project will result in a revolutionary capability to assess and enhance Warfighter readiness for soldiers operating within simulated or virtual training environments. The Situational Awareness - Simulation Training and Assessment Toolset (SA-STAT)provides a mechanism to unobtrusively measure situational awareness by utilizing a combination of state-of-the-art behavioral, performance and physi ...

Mandates to use native wildflower and grass seed began in 1987 with the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act and have been reinforced by two Executive Orders. Current demand for native seed exceeds the supply, therefore the need exists to develop additional native seed sources. Land uses such as conservation, recreation, and wildlife habitat offer the potential for native ...

The nutritional health of field personnel deployed for extended periods is a long-standing problem critical to military troop performance and readiness. The combination of extraordinary physical stresses and the limited provisions carried by militaryfield personnel result in large caloric imbalances. Personnel may experience: loss of strength and decreased endurance; loss of motivation and decr ...

The capability to transmit digitized reports to rear echelon forces during an ongoing battle is a critical command and control component. However, projections of the amount of digital traffic over transmissions links raise the distinct possibility that the demand for digital information tranmitted across the battlefield will outstrip channel capacity. Being able to reduce the quantity of traffic ...

Passenger safety concerns have prompted the FAA to elicit energy-sensitive neutron detectors which do not rely on the time-of-flight method and are suitable for use in explosive detection systems. Invocon, Inc. proposes to design an inspection system consisting of an energy source and a detector. Designated FERET sytem, (Field Energy Recoid Emission Technology), it would detect substances identi ...
