The successful development of a scuba mouthpiece based oral bone conduction hearing device will revolutionize underwater hearing. Clear, binaural hearing in an aqueous environment, without the need for headgear or ear proximity air gap sound transmission is a tremendous advantage to divers who wish… More

The successful development of an acoustic mouthpiece based audio in formation system for rebreathing apparatus will revolutionize military, professional, and recreational diving. The system proposed provides the diver with voice and tonal audio imformation regarding depth, bottom time, tank… More

Not Available Mainstream has developed an innovative cryocooler design that can provide compact, low-vibration cryocooling down to temperatures as low as 40 K. Phase I includes an optimization of this innovative design and an experimental demonstration. Phase I will pr

This program will eliminate all lubrication oil and oil filter replacement in the HMMWV and FMTV for the entire vehicle service life. This will be accomplished by delivering to the US Army a retrofit lubrication filter, immediately compatible withexisting hardware, which will install and operate in… More

"Improving filtration technology for military vehicle engine lubrication systems remains a significant challenge. Equipment failures due to improper or excessive periodic maintenance contribute substantially to the overall cost of maintaining militaryfleets and create combat ineffectiveness during… More

Improving particulate matter (PM) analysis technology for on-vehicle measurements remains a significant challenge. The requirement for accurate and highly precise real-time measurement, capable of on-vehicle applications, is rapidly increasing. Expanding demand for compliance measurements, and… More

This program proposes to develop advanced thermal barrier coatings and an advanced thermal insulating exhaust port runner to reduce high power density diesel engine heat rejection. Analytical Engineering, Inc. along with APS-Materials, Inc. and Ceradyne Thermal Materials will develop and bench test… More

The U. S. Army has a need for reliable and durable in-cylinder thermal barrier coatings to reduce high power density diesel engine component structural temperatures and heat rejection. Phase I program bench testing results identified thermal barrier coating topcoat systems that reduced radiant heat… More

Lack of fuel lubrication performance associated with JP-8 in modern diesel engines equipped with High Pressure Common Rail fuel systems can lead to premature performance loss or field failure. As engines in the Army fleet are replaced with modern engines, provisions for JP-8 fuel compatibility will… More

The lack of lubrication performance associated with JP-8 fuel in modern diesel engines equipped with High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) fuel systems can lead to premature performance loss and catastrophic field failure. OEMA-AYs will need to first thoroughly understand these effects and then make… More
