A networked avian radar system is proposed for bird strike mitigation. A team consisting of Applied Radar as well as partners AscentXYZ and and Elsis will work with the 6th Air Mobility command U.S. Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard Team (BASH) stakeholders to customize the Avian Radar solution and provide a demonstration to prove its versatility and improvements over current AF equipment.

Via the utilization of an innovative and unique sensor technology integrated into military condition-based maintenance monitoring systems, our company proposes to assist the US Air Force to enhance its monitoring and modeling capabilities for the benefit of military assets corrosion analysis & maintenance. The AFRL states that “Knowing the concentrations of potential corrosive factors in a given ...

Modern deep learning-based face recognition systems perform at or above human levels on high quality frontal imagery, but their performance suffers significantly on more operationally relevant imagery with confounding factors such as extreme pose.  This performance degradation is based on two primary shortcomings: poor match between training and test-time image data, and failure to model inherent ...

The objective of this efforts is to introduce new, improved knit technology to provide more comfortable knitwear for the Sailor by improving fit, increasing air permeability, wicking away moisture, reducing seams and chafing, reducing bulk, and providing the potential for increased protection (Flame Resistant (FR) and No Melt/No Drip) while reducing waste and saving time and money for the Governme ...

The objectives of this Phase II study are to develop a complete end-to-end capability for the operational hazard assessment modeling within limnological systems for all of CONUS and to develop preliminary techniques to determine limnological water quality parameters of OCONUS systems, allowing for the eventual hazard assessment modeling in denied or restricted regions. Achieving these objectives w ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project consists of (1) preventing server-level data breaches; and (2) increasing adoption of cloud computing; especially in sectors that inherently deal with sensitive data and are subject to regulation. This includes the healthcare and finance industries as well as government agencies. Data breaches ...

Every year, the global wind industry loses an estimated $100M or more to damage caused by lightning.A new blade coating will reduce the damage to wind turbine blades caused by lightning by promoting the formation of ionization channels over the surface of the turbine blades, providing a safe external path for lightning energy to reach ground and preventing damaging blade punctures.The coating cons ...

Next generation, 3D-TPS heat shields based on 3D weaving technology offer potential for increased mass efficiency relative to legacy solutions.nbsp; However, width, thickness and unit cell size combinations of 3D-TPS designs being considered for future missions are pushing the limits of current 3D weaving looms and driving the need for new or significantly modified set-ups.nbsp; With this SBIR Pha ...

PROJECT SUMMARY Resective neurosurgery is essential for treating a range of neurologic conditions such as epilepsy and brain tumorsFor some patientswhose lesion is close to cortical language areaspostoperative expressive or receptive language deficit is a major and feared postoperative complicationMuch effort is devoted to identifying the cortical language regionsand relating such localization to ...

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The postpartum period is a critical time, and more than half of all maternal deaths occur postpartum. Black women are 3-4 times more likely than white women to experience maternal mortality. In the US, 1 in 4 women do not have a timely postpartum visit, and adherence is even lower for women on Medicaid managed care plans. Our Parent Grant (R43MD014923) was funded to develo ...
