ABSTRACT: In order to prevent loss of sensitive data, organizations need to be able to tag data with classification and releasability metadata. Currently classification is a manual and labor-intensive process, which slows the dissemination of sharable data. ATC-NY will develop DocMark, a product to automatically determine classification and dissemination metadata and record it in standard forma ...

ABSTRACT: Desired tactical requirements for unmanned aerial systems (UASs) exceed current capabilities for performance, reliability, maintainability, cost and supportability. Mission requirements such as extended endurance, increased power for auxiliary/sensor systems, and low altitude, low speed maneuverability are becoming paramount, specifically, in the 10,000 lb class of vehicles. These desir ...

ABSTRACT: With the objective of developing validated bearing performance software, this proposed development focuses on several technical areas. First, the generalized life models developed in Phase I shall be extended to include elastic property variation with depth for improved modeling of case hardened materials such as M50 NiL. In addition rolling elements shall be modeled as separate element ...

Yardney is proposing to take the technology we have previously developed in Phase 1 and move toward thinner cell designs to meet the extreme temperature and power requirements of the next generation of high power Naval Aircraft. Just as the optimum Hybrid Electric Vehicle batteries were a step towards more power and thus thinner design, the optimum battery for high power, high energy Naval aviatio ...

The purpose of this Phase II program is to develop an innovative, low cost, all-in-one surgical instrument for performing cricothyrotomies and managing airway trauma on the battlefield, with improvements aimed at ultimately reducing mortality rates associ

Specialized computing hardware, such as GPUs and FPGAs, can provide dramatically better performance than existing, CPU-based systems. This specialized hardware is readily available in the commercial market and widely used in high-performance computing systems, making it easy to achieve high performance per watt and per dollar. The major unsolved challenge in using specialized hardware efficientl ...

While lightning protection has been applied to various small diameter composite missiles, large diameter composite missiles also require viable lightweight solutions for minimizing or eliminating direct lightning strike effects without significantly reducing battle space performance. For purposes of this proposal, our team will focus on the development of lightning strike protection surface skins ...

The proposed study concerns the development of a robust two-phase cooling module for airborne directed energy systems. There are five overriding objectives for the proposed Phase I study: (1) cooling module design, fabrication and instrumentation; (2) two-phase cooling loop development; (3) thermal tests; (4) theoretical model of cooling performance as a function of velocity and surface orientati ...

Munitions electrochemical energy sources are a critical component for the SMART electronics providing control and energy to the system electrical components. Projectiles have been becoming increasingly complicated with a greater energy and demand with a smaller energy source payload capacity. Key understanding of the variations in load, constantly changing over time, and whether it is a power or e ...

The class of construction techniques grouped generally under the term adobe varies widely according to regional climates and cultures, soil properties and the use of technological enhancements such as reinforcing, concrete, plaster and chemical hardeners. The purpose of the work proposed here is to develop a tool for assembling an optimized, textile-based just-add-earth kit: pre-cut textile reinfo ...
