In this proposal, AlphaSense, Inc. proposes to develop an innovative real time probe for online monitoring of plastic bonded explosive manufacturing process. Key innovations of the proposed sensor probe include: a) the use of a white light interferometer (WLI) to form real time images of the particles for accurate particle size measurements, and b) the use of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) base ...

UVCleaning Systems will develop a greywater remediation and recycling system for Army kitchen sanitation centers by combining COTS pre-filtration and ultrafiltration technologies, to reliably reduce all greywater contaminant concentrations except BOD to within the requirements of the solicitation, together with a new UVCleaning Systems photocatalytic reactor following the ultrafiltration membrane ...

A network of the Distributed exportable power Generation "DG" with each DG capable of having local power and energy management. The main power and energy control is based on the real time power generation and the reserve capacity of the DG unit. All DG units communicate via CAN J1939 with local and remote operation option. Each DG is capable of 4-quadrant P-Q operation.

This proposal investigates the concept of swift trust in temporary teams. We will investigate cognitive and behavioral manifestations of trust and propose metrics to measure the formation of swift trust. Further, we propose to research and develop a training program for leaders which will help them assess and built reliable trust swiftly in quickly formed, temporary teams.

The objective of this Phase 2 Program is to build on the Phase 1 results: 1). Continue refine the millimeter wave HIFET model. 2). Fabricate and test GaN HEMT millimeter wave HIFET to prove the validity of the millimeter wave HIFET model. 3). Develop State-of-the-art millimeter wave MMIC PA module having 25W output power, 50dB gain with 25% efficiency; and other MMIC PA’s. 4). Investigate linear ...

The Army needs a suite of effective Modeling, Analysis, Simulation, and Evaluation tools for the design, development, implementation and validation of the gyrocompassing based azimuth and attitude determination modules for the FTL systems. The Phase II project is to demonstrate, test, validate, and deliver a Gyrocompass Modeling and Simulation System (GMSS) to meet the need of the Army. The GMSS c ...

The US ARMY is seeking Unmanned Systems (UMS) with increased levels of automation, coordination, improved human machine interface and communication networks that enable collaborative engagements across multiple UMS platforms capable of automated and collaborative search and target engagement while providing alerts and alarms based on a distributed intelligent sensor network and with a high fidelit ...

The EOD All-Terrain Biped (ATB) is a robotic platform with wheels, legs and arms capable of driving, crawling, walking and manipulating objects for inspection and explosive ordnance disposal tasks. Advanced limb coordination technology provides independen

Advances have been made in the radar detection of IED/EFPs. However, multiple targets are detected in a clutter rich environment. Current radar systems cannot discriminate a threat from a non-threat, therefore all detections must be treated as potential threats and either remediated or avoided. This proposal proposes a system for improved radar target detection, discrimination and target identific ...

This proposal addresses the development of a sensor capable of detecting IEDs and EFPs under camouflage and in the presence of urban clutter. The proposed sensor builds upon previous ZAI efforts. The system proposed for this new effort consists of a new full polarimetric (FulPol) array of antenna elements which will provide for an increase in the returned energy from the target and an increase in ...
