Award Data

New, innovative laser spectroscopy technology will be developed for performance quantification and combustion characterization in a Rotational Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE). The effort will push the state of the art in tunable laser absorption spectroscopy to enable fast time response diagnostics of the extreme pressure and temperature conditions of an RDRE.

Quantum information technology will become a key enabler of future Air Force superiority. Topological insulator qubits are inherently stable and fault-tolerant because they exploit local topological symmetries and global boundary conditions of chalcogenide materials to yield unique, emergent quantum cooperative states. Wake Forest University and Streamline Automation have been working collaborativ ...

There is a critical need for electrification of transportation systems. The proposed technology enables the development of very high-power density permanent magnet motors, which when coupled to an integrated SiC drive allows for an overall specific power beyond 12 kW/kg. The proposed concept relies on the tight integration of a high-power density dual-rotor permanent magnet motor, high power densi ...

The Overall Objective of the Phase II project is to optimize and scale up an on-board miniature reactor for effectively removing sulfur in logistics fuels, such as JP-8, and to investigate the thermal stability of the desulfurized fuels. The Specific Technical Objectives for this phase are to: (1) optimize the reactor design and manufacturing process to provide a conceptual system design for ident ...

Securing our nations weapon systems is essential to the success of our military.  In recent years, cyber securing these systems has become a dire need and priority for the Department of Defense (DoD).  The main objective for Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) for this project is to develop the Cyber Knowledge Management with Secure Information Transfer for Weapons Systems (CKURITY) system to e ...

OLGS is developing an automated tourniquet system. It is an intuitive device that works with the push of a button. The user only needs to know 'high-and-tight' and push the button for the tourniquet to be effective. It contains a band with wires embedded that is tightened by a motor-driven spool. It also contains a micro-controller unit with integrated sensors to ensure limb occlusion pressure is ...

In this Phase II STTR Project, Team UtopiaCompression (UC) will adapt its 3D ultrasound prototype device to address key research questions posed by AF TPOC and end-users (in particular, Eglin AFB Medical Community- Invisible Wounds Center, family/concussion clinics and emergency rooms). The prototype uses an innovative ultrasound design technology to capture 3D data of anatomical structures (here, ...

Bloodstone objectives are to develop mitigating technologies to reduce the risk of hypothermia, vibration, blood loss, and pressure wounds during air transportation of the injured war fighter. Hypothermia mitigation- Introduction of this lightweight air-filled mattress has already been shown through research to improve on the perfonnance of cun-ently hypothennia systems. The Xtract® Insulate Air ...
