ARCS will accelerate and broaden the understanding of Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) Inspectors by using Augmented Reality to show the underlying physics of NDE—teaching the Why not just the What.

Third Dimension Technologies (TDT) proposes to develop a holographic 3D Field of Light Display (FoLD) Virtual Reality Sandbox for Mission Planning. Low-level Special Operations missions require flight at or below ground level. Intimate knowledge of the terrain to be covered during a mission is necessary to prevent collision with terrain objects or buildings. Any such collision can result in the lo ...

This proposed effort is seeking continued SBIR Phase II funding support to further develop the various design features of our Phase I balance Damping and Damage Prevention System, DDPS, feasibility demonstration technology. Continued support is needed for further development including software development for integrating the automatic control implementation in the DDPS as a “smart� in ...

Learn 2 Win is an interactive, mobile learning platform used by top football and basketball teams to train their athletes. Current clients include the University of North Carolina, University of Michigan, Stanford University, University of Notre Dame, many other NCAA programs, and over 400 high schools. Leadership of the Air Combat Command (ACC) Training Support Squadron (TRSS) has expressed inter ...

Daxor proposes an automated, ruggedized, portable system for calculating blood, red cell, and plasma volumes, based on a comprehensive adaptation and reengineering of the current gold standard for volume measurement, the Daxor BVA-100. Significant improvements in portability (size, weight, and battery operation), logistics, speed, and ease of use are achieved. Whole blood is sampled directly from ...

Engine testing requires extensive time for manual data reduction and analysis, adding several months to the end of the test, increasing test costs and impacting the overall development schedule. Commercial industry has adopted automated data reduction and analysis techniques, which has led to reduced engine development cycle times, improved test efficiency, and reduced development costs. Adopting ...

Lithium metal represents the ultimate anode material due to its high energy density (3860 mAh/g), however, dendrite growth during charge has been essentially preventing its wide application in rechargeable batteries. LiBAMA's bi-functional advanced metal anode (AMA) represents the world's first innovation evolved out of numerous failed and on-going efforts with solid electrolytes, lithium protecti ...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers the potential for 30-60% cost savings on complex, high-value parts in the aerospace industry solving numerous sustainment issues facing the USAF. New methodologies are needed that leverage new material characterization methods with advanced computational tools, to quickly link microstructural properties/defects with material/component performance. Development of ...

Glass fiber is the most common reinforcement material for all polymer composites (a $43.93 billion dollar market in 2017), including all wind turbine blades of which it’s estimated there will be over 4.8 million tonnes of by 2050. However, there exists no economical method of handling these composites once they reach end of life, meaning they are all currently destined for the landfill. For wind ...

A new class of material will be synthesized and tested at the coupon level, as a potentialnbsp;integral neutron and gamma shield for the Kilopower Project and other small fission reactor technologies under development.nbsp; The new material will have a competitive mass and volume -to- shielding effectiveness and offer a superior stable form as compared to the currently best available technology co ...
