The DoD has recently launched initiatives to innovate the department by empowering fighters with the tools and resources to submit solutions or problems. The programs have collected mass amounts of ideas and solutions through the fighters Powered by Innov

SEE ID provides accurate, reliable tracking technology that is critical in many industries, including collision avoidance in mining and autonomous vehicles, localization. We use a hybrid system of hardware and software to pinpoint locations using frequenc

Lok-N-Blok® is a revolutionary, composite based, sustainable, lightweight structural building system that delivers high strength, rapid construction, energy efficiency, and structural integrity. All with the ease and simplicity of use as a child’s buildin

A Gaussian-Pareto Overbounding (GPO) software toolset will be developed for the verification and validation (V&V) of safety-critical Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). In particular, this includes the V&V of sensors used to operate UAS, including navigation systems, the Air Data System (ADS), the Power Monitoring System (PMS), and Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS). The model-based techniques offered i ...

Thermisoln LLC, in partnership with the University of Kentucky (UK), is working together to develop a switchable-hydrophilicity solvent (SHS) which can energy-efficiently capture and fixate CO2 from point sources burning fossil fuels, and meanwhile enables the upcycling of gypsum wastes and the cogeneration of a value-added, carbon-free, non-volatile soil fertilizer. Traditional amine scrubbing so ...

High-temperature nuclear reactors, and irradiation test-capsules, make use of molten metals and their alloys for heat transfer functions from the active zones due to its high degree of thermal conductivity. Pumping of these liquid media by classical mechanical radial or axial pumps is, however, rather difficult and the lifetime of such devices is relatively low. It is known that electromagnetic pu ...

A joint report in 2020 by International Energy Agency and Nuclear Energy Agency concludes that prolonging the operation of existing NPPs (instead of building new large NPPs) is the most affordable low-carbon solution. This calls for advanced NPP Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) technology to achieve sustainable NPP electricity generation and supply in a safe and economic way. However, curre ...

The United States is heavily reliant on imports of mineral commodities vital to national security and economic prosperity. Long lead times needed for adequate environmental review of new mining projects, which hinge on water quality predictions using scale-up of laboratory tests, is inhibiting development of domestic mineral supply. A critical gap in the existing approach for environmental review ...

Computational Storage platforms are emerging as a disruptive enhancement in the data processing ecosystem as they have the potential to address the critical bottleneck of limited I/O bandwidth and high latency between storage and compute nodes in the system hierarchy. This “late coming” technology to the Exascale program has the potential to enhance DOE and the broader government’s leadershi ...
