There is a military and industry need for easy-to-use, versatile alloys for metals additive manufacturing (3D printing) that print consistently regardless of the specific process or machine and without requiring in-depth metallurgical or manufacturing knowledge. Such capability is critical for soldiers to be able to make needed items on demand in the theater of war. In addition, the alloy will be ...

Increased availability of graph-structured military data and recent technical advances in neural network design and training methods has led to an opportunity to advance the state of the art while simultaneously establishing and improving the ability:(1) to monitor a platform or force, (2) to predict capabilities and limitations of the force, and (3) to suggest opportunities and vulnerabilities. ...

This project delivers a compact system to assess and reduce local uncertainties that impact routing and sensor operation decisions while tracking the evolution of the maritime environment around unmanned platforms at sea (UUV/USV). The system runs both at control centers and on-board the UUV/USV’s, subject to different network bandwidth and computing environments Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) co ...

Solid oxide fuel cells have long suffered from degradation due to impurities in the fuel and complexities associated with dissimilar materials and high operating temperatures. This degradation lowers the usable cell power output and requires ancillary equipment for fuel sulfur removal and reformation. A unique microstructure for a tubular anode-supported SOFC is being developed using a novel freez ...
