Current military deployable shelters require soldiers to spend large periods of time on setup and take down rather than focusing on their combat missions. With the Army moving to a more expeditionary focus, existing shelter systems have significant disadvantages that make them unsuitable for high-tempo operational missions. Navatek will advance the state-of-the-art for rapidly-deployable shelters ...

Phase I has proven that the current setup achieves better than 8mm spatial resolution for 2.2MeV prompt gammas. However, 1mm spatial resolution presents a significant challenge for the current setup due in part to limited timing resolution and count rate. A new analog ASIC will be developed to replace the current analog ASIC that will have better timing resolution and deliver higher count rates. I ...

Dynamic Collaborative Visualization Ecosystem (DynaCoVE) is a new visualization tool that will support a data-centric, user-centric, visualization algorithm and systems agnostic visualization. It is a visualization software that will allow the user to generate visualization from the data and display it on any of the display systems available in the visualization ecosystem for knowledge discovery a ...

To realize the current emissive design prototype, JRM developed a laser-safe, optical-bench test-bed framework consisting of a high-power laser, optical-relay elements, an advanced laser-scanning system with beam-dump driven by JRM-developed control software, re-useable screen rigs, and a viewing LWIR thermal imager. This configuration modulates the temporal beam power and scan-rate across the low ...

Makai Ocean Engineering, Inc. proposes to address the overloaded AMPV cooling system with the Thin Foil Heat Exchanger (TFHX) technology which will provide at least 5%, and potentially 20%, performance improvement with minimal increase in pressure drop. The heat exchanger pack will also meet durability and reliability requirements for military operating environments. The military environment and t ...

In this SBIR work effort TDA’s team is addressing two technical questions: (1) How to reduce the computational cost of simulating powder bed process and estimate distortion and residual stresses? (2) How to optimize the topology of the support structure to improve build quality while reducing the build cost? TDA plans to improve the in-house fully automated thermo-mechanical AM finite element nu ...

The CONOPS for the Expeditionary Medical Support System (EMEDS) is based on practical effectiveness, speed, and efficiency. Key among the tools required by the Air Mobility Command and the Air Combat Command, which are two of the major commands that are part of the United Air Force is a multi-channel intravenous infusion pump capable of delivering fluids that meets the safe-to-fly criteria for all ...

USER-COMPUTER INTERACTION AND THE INTERFACE (UCI) TECHNOLOGY THAT SUPPORTS IT IS FAR FROM PERFECT. IN SPITE OF CALLS FOR "USER FRIENDLINESS," USERS STILL GET LOST DURING PROBLEM-SOLVING SESSIONS, FORGET COMMAND STRUCTURES, AND FIND MANY INPUT ROUTINES DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO USE. THIS PROPOSAL CALLS FOR THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND EVALUATION OF SEVERAL ADVANCED TECHNIQUES FOR ENHANCED USER ...

Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) for production of freshwater requires high pressures and flow rates of feed water, leading to high energy consumption. Energy recovery from the brine waste stream has potential to give SWRO an advantage as a source of drinking water, when compared to the logistical costs and increased risks for convoys trucking bottled water to small units where freshwater is not av ...
