The objective of this program is to develop and demonstrate a flexible and efficient cooling system (FECS) for helicopters and other aircraft. FECS can be used to cool lasers, electronics or other devices in slow or fast-moving aircraft that are operating in high ambient temperatures. It utilizes a modular approach that allows FECS to be quickly and easily modified for various payloads. There are ...

The Army is frequently forced to operate in hostile climates. Heavy fog, rain, snow, and dust storms can inhibit the performance of tracking technologies such as mid-wave infrared cameras. In such conditions, Army early warning systems are blinded and put personnel and assets at risk.There is a specific need for a degraded visual environment (DVE) penetrative target tracking solution.Radio frequen ...

Recently, there has been at least one significant cyber security event in the world daily. Cyber threats, hackers, and criminals continue to develop advanced capabilities. A key finding of the 2014 DHS CyberSkills Task Force was a clear need for provide more training for cyber security employees. The US Federal Government needs to put a greater emphasis on ensuring its employees have the cyber und ...

To maintain the United State Navy’s dominance in the maritime environment it is imperative to continue to develop a more integrated naval battle force. This has led the Navy to invest in capabilities to enhance its distributed lethality by aggregating disparate sensor networks to create a common situational awareness, coordinated engagements, and distributed resource control. However, creating a ...

We propose to develop an innovative concept of the high speed dynamic IRSP that combines components and devices from proven suppliers with novel system-level research topics from CDS and University of Delaware. Having previously built and delivered working LED IRSPs to users gives CDS a unique advantage. In line with system theme of the solicitation, our phase 1 research topics are focused on syst ...

Two dimensional nano materials such as graphene and carbides have provided a huge benefit to the scientific community, and are starting to provide substantial benefits to mission specific applications. Pelican Defense Technologies specializes in the development of these bottom-up chemically synthesized nano materials. Pelican will optimize these materials to exceed the conductivity and durability ...

This project will result in the creation of a Technical Data Package (TDP) based on the Air Duct Hose (NSN 4720-01-440-7526).This TDP will form the basis of a Source Approval Request (SAR) that will qualify CEPEDA Associates as an approved vendor for this item providing the Navy with an additional reliable, competitive supplier.CEPEDA is a qualified Navy vendor for critical components including Le ...

Photonic integration, and specifically silicon photonics, has emerged as one of the leading solutions for maintaining or improving the performance of optical systems while addressing the requirements related to size, weight, and power (SWaP). Photonic integrated circuits (PICs), which integrate multiple photonic elements onto a single chip, are specifically suited to providing the complexity and f ...

To reach the end user, oil and gas production at the wellhead must be transmitted through the country and distributed to a wide range of customers. This logistical system requires natural gas gathering lines, processing facilities, product storage tanks and lots of other equipment. What results is air pollution caused by industry losses during these operations and the use of continuous or intermit ...

Both chemicals Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) are very persistent, toxic, and bio-accumulate in the environment and human body. PFAS can end up in soil from multiple sources, often mixed with other pollutants. Because of their unique lipid- and water-repellent characteristics, PFOS and PFOA are used as surface-active agents in various high-temperature applicatio ...
