ADELPHI, Md. – U.S. Army researchers, in collaboration with academic partners, invented a stronger copper that could help advance defense, energy, and aerospace industries thanks to its ability to endure unprecedented temperature and pressure extremes. Extreme materials experts at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, known as DEVCOM, Army Research Laboratory (ARL), built on…
The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) was asked to identify models, simulations, and tools used to model bubble growth, cavitation, and hydrodynamic ram (HRAM) effects within fuel tanks. When a high-velocity projectile penetrates or impacts a liquid-filled container such as a fuel tank, cavitation occurs. The cavity formed in the liquid results in extreme pressure, which may cause the liquid to bubble and eventually…

Air domain operations are critical to the U.S. military defense strategy. Military air domain missions use aircraft for tasks like attack; resupply; rescue; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; etc. Historically, air domain missions required manned aircraft, putting the aviator at risk. In the 1990s, the military began replacing manned aircraft with unmanned aircraft. Unmanned aerial systems…

Research Mathematician, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)
Dr. Paul T. Schrader is a Research Mathematician for AFRL’s Information Directorate>Information Warfare Division>Information Exploitation Branch (AFRL/RIGC). The AFRL/RIGC’s mission is to “discover, research, and apply multi-sensor data processing techniques exploiting advanced technologies to detect, intercept, collect, locate, track, process, and mitigate attenuation/adversarial deception within raw multimodal sensing for high-fidelity signatures and signals intelligence in contested environments.” Dr. Schrader’s key research contributions supporting this mission include the discovery/development of mathematically/topologically informed modality agnostic upstream dynamic data-driven fusion systems for decision speed (collaborative) autonomy leveraging the uniform, explainable, robust, and reproducible capabilities of topological data analysis.
