When engaging targets at long distance, time matters: enemies may only be visible for a few seconds at a time and snipers need the ability to deliver accurate, lethal fire in those fleeting seconds. The LA-24/PEQ Precision Aiming Laser (PAL) system is a game changing piece of technology that runs the industry-leading Applied Ballistics (AB) solver directly onboard, providing a sniper with a firing ...

Studies of laser-driven high energy density plasma physics require large, complex laser systems providing well-controlled pulses at extreme intensities reaching petawatt levels. New facilities, several of which exist within the LaserNetUS consortium, have increased the operation rate such laser sources to the 10 Hz regime, allowing thousands of high energy experiments to be performed within minute ...

NE has invested heavily in the development of a wide range of computational frameworks over the past few decades. This considerable investment in advanced high fidelity codes has allowed the Nuclear engineering community to greatly reduce the non-recurring costs associated with reactor development. However, as the fidelity of these simulations grows, so too do the difficulties associated with usin ...

The modern electric power grid is facing increasing stress due to a fundamental shift in supply and demand technologies. These increased stresses require grid modernization to shift from analog systems to systems with increased data streams and digital controls. One such technology that can be utilized to accomplish these goals is the solid-state transformer which provides isolation between low an ...

The Department of Energy is seeking to invest in research and development of technologies that can economically convert CO2 into plastic in the form of pellets, foams, or fibers. The lack of new CO2 to plastic technologies and the higher cost of current CO2 conversion approaches significantly restrains their applications in many segments. Therefore, novel technologies need to transform carbon emis ...

Emissions of carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels and industrial processes has wide-spread public effects, leading to global climate change and acidification of the oceans. Climate change in turn increases the occurrence of droughts and wildfires and influences food production, which causes human suffering. Carbon conversion and long-term storage technologies are important components of ach ...

The Office of Nuclear Energy seeks to produce durable components for next generation liquid-sodium cooled fast-spectrum nuclear reactors. Specifically, they want low-cost and short lead-time methods to manufacture robust advanced fuel handling system components like roller bearings and gears. The advanced fuel handling system is a critical component of the fast-spectrum nuclear reactor designs tha ...

Asymmetric proposes to develop software and firmware to optimize data exfil throughout Whisper devices. This includes making the Whisper system have additional, tuneable capabilities to increase LPI/LPD characteristics. The current methods utilized by Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel to maintain secure, covert and reliable data transmission in hostile environments is difficult and mission ...
