Increasing the energy of the electron beam striking an X-ray target can lead to higher electron to X-ray conversion efficiency. For a given electron beam energy, the conversion efficiency can be enhanced through various methods. Optimizing the electron beam parameters, such as beam current, pulse width, and repetition rate, can also improve the conversion efficiency. Choice of the X-ray target mat ...

Modern weapon systems and their testing infrastructure rely on the use of open-source software. Open source is provided “AS IS”' without guarantees. Code is often vulnerable with hard-to-mitigate attack surfaces. Tenet3, LLC will address this problem with an innovative machine learning-based approach for vulnerability detection as part of the CI/CD process. The solution is based on Explainable ...

Many military missions are based on the movement of individuals to the right location at the right time, while also ensuring that these individuals are able to exfiltrate to safe areas. Part of the military tactical advantage is often based on the ability to make these movements covertly, across a variety of weather conditions and operational environments. Special Operations Forces are largely bui ...

The United States Department of Defense is one of the largest consumers of energy in the world. Transportation of food, equipment, weapons, and supplies account for a significant portion of the U.S. DoD’s energy consumption. Such large amounts of energy usage produces significant amounts of waste and greenhouse gases. The U.S. DoD recognizes this as a major problem and continues to implement pro ...

Radiant energy conversion, storage, and transfer eliminate the mass transfer process induced power output limitation, and open a new vista for energy utilization. An effective system for absorbing radiant energy and converting into electrical energy will facilitate radiant energy storage and transfer. This project aims to develop a system that uses ultra-black nanocarbon coatings as a broadband ab ...

Our team proposes a Phase I solution for Smart Model Repository (SMR) that will lay the foundation for an autonomous service that assembles models, documentation, and insights from modeling and simulation (M&S) subject matter experts (SMEs) into meaningful knowledge structures enabling M&S as a Service for all analysts, operators, and technologists. Our approach will initially focus on the knowled ...

Wide Band Gap semiconductors with advanced topographies allow much higher power densities and efficiencies than prior generation power electronics.   Power density is a function of switching speed and cooling requirements, and operating at or above 50KHz allows for a dramatic reduction in size and weight of power electronics for power conditioning, converting, and motor control.  Powdermet has ...

This project will develop a prototype of an online coding game to prepare middle and high school students for success in postsecondary education and career pathways in computer science The prototype will include a visual tool to support students move from two-dimensional to three-dimensional thinking, lesson plans for teachers, and video tutorials and examples for students and teachers. At the end ...
