The purpose of this challenge is to identify and evaluate vehicular transparent armour systems (the “Innovation”) for large window areas, e.g. 40 x 60 cm, that are lighter in weight, thinner, and possess increased durability when compared to current commercially available glass-based systems. Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) is Canada’s leader in defence and security science and technology.

The mission of the FRA’s Office of Research Development & Technology (RD&T) is to ensure the safe, efficient, and reliable movement of people and goods by rail through basic and applied research, and development of innovations and solutions. Safety is DOT’s primary strategic goal and thus, the principal driver of FRA’s RD&T program. 

Fast charge batteries are part of the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory VICTOR (VERSATILE TACTICAL POWER AND PROPULSION) Essential Research Program and in tandem with wireless recharge and silent power generation, will eliminate battery swaps, reduce the cognitive and physical load on Soldiers, and reduce the logistical tail in batteries.

NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses.THE TECHNOLOGY: A new engine concept from NASA's Glenn Research Center allows for truly distributed propulsion.  The concept enables airframe and system modularity by allowing parts to be swapped or repaired easily.  Design changes can be applied to individual components and not the entire propulsion system. 

Also of particular interest are technologies that result in significant energy efficiency, power density improvements and/or carbon footprint improvements over existing propulsion and power system technologies.
