"Electrochemical Capacitors (EC) with low cost, high performance and low equivalent series resistance (ESR) are needed to develop a wide range of military, space, and industrial applications.The primary objective of this project is to develop a high energy density, high power density, all-solid polymer electrolyte EC stack whose ESR and cost are substantially reduced. Innovative low-cost highly co ...

A new method based on neural networks and advanced computational intelligence techniques is presented in this proposal for predicting target movement. Due to lack of learning capabilities, current approaches cannot incorporated target behavior information into decision process to generate a reliable prediction. The new method uses two cascaded neural networks to learn the behavior pattern of ta ...

The U.S. Navy has already achieved dramatic cost savings using teleconferencing technology in its Chief Electronic Schoolhouse Network (CESN) project. Even greater cost savings could be achieved if teleconferencing technology were portable and reliable enough to be used from any geographic location (ship or shore), in the world. At the same time, experiments like the Defense Information Services ...

The purpose of this proposal is to present a novel and promising solution for an small-size physical device to convert voice to digital and provide 2-way communication for HUMINT assets. The device consists of multiple modules, for speech capture, text generation, formatting and display and for 2-way spread-spectrum communication of the messages. This company has developed similar products for mi ...

Requirements for oxygen production aboard aircraft carriers are changing. As more aircraft are converted to OBOGS, the need for liquid oxygen is decreasing. However, LOX requirements are not expected to drop to zero for a decade or more. For the nextdecade, there is a clear need for a flexible, compact system to produce LOX in small quantities. Mesoscopic Devices proposes to develop a compact gase ...

A method and its related technology are presented for decontaminating the bilge water removed from Marine Corps Expeditionary Fighting Vehicles (EFVs). The proposed process is based on the utilization of a unique proprietary regenerative filtration technology incorporating easy cleaning by Back-Flush that, together with in-line inertial separation device, allows all bilge water to be decontaminate ...

Optical Air Data Systems, L.P. (OADS, L.P.) proposes a design for a weaponmounted, low-cost, compact, reliable, lightweight wind sensor system toremotely and accurately measure the weapon air data parameters such asairspeed as well as wind profile between the weapon and the target. Theproposed system would provide a substantial improvement over competingoptical systems as well as traditional Pito ...
