Modeling Impacts of Coherent and Random TID Structures on OTHR Performance
SBC: ATMOSPHERIC & SPACE TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH ASSOCIATES LLC Topic: AF151154ABSTRACT:The DoD requires accurate real-time knowledge of ionospheric variability in order to reduce one of the biggest error sources inherent in the use of critical systems such as Over the Horizon Radar (OTHR). OTHR is particularly susceptible to TIDs which are underspecified by current methods. In the proposed work, we will develop physics-based models for generation of 3D coherent and random d ...

Lightweight, Man-Portable, Low-Power Individual Water Purification System
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: SB151002In todays military, active special operators must be highly mobile and carry all their essential equipment and supplies with them. A major limitation to mobility is the need to carry fresh water. An individual must carry 12 to 24 pounds of water for each day they will be in the field without re-supply. It would be far better to be able to purify locally available water, but no technology exists ...
