Robotic Research, LLC (RR) and Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) are creating a prototype Learning-based Approach for Relevant Data Extraction (LARDE). The LARDE framework is a data extraction and handling framework that can intelligently reduce the volume of raw data from on-board sensors, and organize and persistently store the reduced relevant dataset.

Technology Assessment & Transfer, Inc. and subcontractors propose novel, high performance additive manufactured (AM) heat exchangers for military systems. The AM process will allow for conformal, lightweight designs that optimize use of available space. Design and modeling efforts in Phase I will identify enhanced heat transfer surfaces compatible with, and made possible by, an AM fabrication appr ...

This proposal describes an all optical fixed wing landing system for a aircraft carrier capable of flying an aircraft all the way to landing in a RF denied environment. The precision, reliability and accuracy of this system will allow control the aircraft without the help from the pilot all the way to touch down. It will work seamlessly with UAVs and manned aircraft that have been retrofitted with ...

Our goal in this Phase II effort is to construct and test a compact, robust testbed for generating laser-cooled strontium atoms on a mobile platform. The focus of the Phase I effort was designing and fabricating an ovenized strontium source that also serves as a 2D+ MOT cell. In Phase II, we will integrate the strontium source into an all-glass-and-silicon vacuum system maintained by a miniature i ...
