Lightweight Composite Medical Devices $2,000,000

Extremity injuries are among the most common injuries seen in modern warfare. High-energy ballistic injuries,including those resulting from improvised explosive devices (IEDs), commonly result in unstable open fractures.Due to the high-energy nature of these battlefield wounds, soft tissue envelopes are routinely severely damaged.

Temporary stabilization techniques play an important role in the abil ity of the orthopedic surgeon to successfullyrepair these types of injuries and trauma and can be a critical component in the recovery and survival of thepatient undergoing medevac out of theatre. External fixation (EF) has become the stabilization method of choicefor the high-energy open fractures seen in the combat zone. External fixation not only provides stability forfractures but it may diminish the systemic effects of the injury - including minimizing ongoing hemorrhage andresultant coagulation, decreasing transfusion requirements and blunting the release of inflammatory mediators.This program will focus on near term objectives for the DoD which will enable advanced treatment for combatextremity traumas as well as achieve a smaller logistical battlefield footprint for use in far-forward areas.

Lower Republican River Feasible Study $1,000,000

A high priority project is expansion of storage at Lovewell Reservoir. Currently, Lovewell can store about 24,000acre feet in the conservation pool, which can be released for irrigation. Raising the dike elevation to match thedam eleveation would gain an additional 16,000 acre feet of storage in the reservoir. Or both the dike and the damcould be raised, 5 feet and 3 feet respectively, to gain about 35,000 acre feet in conservation storage. The ability tostore more water in Lovewell Reservoir increases the water security for irrigators in the Kansas Bostwick IrrigationDistrict. It can also benefit irrigators in the Nebraska Bostwick Irrigation District, as both reservoirs are managed byReclamation as a unit. Before Reclamation can move forward on an expansion project at Lovewell, or any otherbasin improvements, a feasibility study must be completed. Congress authorized a feasibility study of the LowerRepublican River basin, from Harlan County Reservoir, Nebraska, to Milford Reservoir, Kansas, in the ConsolidatedNatural Resources Act of 2008(Public Law No: 110-229, Title V, 510.). An appropriation is now needed to fund thisstudy.

Nanocomposites for Lightning Protection of Composite Airframe Structures $3,000,000

Nonmetallic military (manned and unmanned) aircraft are vulnerable to lightning strike and airworthinessassurance is threatened. For example, FAA certified aircraft are typically struck by lightning once or twice a year.Unlike their metal counterparts, composite structures do not readily conduct away the extreme electrical currentsand electromagnetic forces generated by lightning strikes. Composite materials are either not conductive at all(e.g. fiberglass) or are significantly less conductive than metals (e.g. carbon fiber). For this reason, lightning strikeprotection has been a significant concern since the first composites were used on aircraft more than 30 years ago.This program will seek to advance the development and operation of a nanocomposite based methodologyaddressing lightning strike protection on composite airframe structures in Department of Defense aircraftapplications. Recent advances in the addition of nanocomponents to advanced composite materials have shownthe potential for reducing lightning strike damage to composite airframe structures. A variety of nanoconstituentsknown for their conductivity and high aspect ratio have been recently analyzed under an exploratory Air Forcestudy and have shown great promise for the incorporation of this technology into a manufacturing environment.This research focus and funding will work in coordination with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at WrightPatterson AFB to advance research into possible commercial applications that may be used in production.

KC-135 Real Time Information (RTIC) $7,000,000

The KC-135 tanker is performing a myriad of missions that involve aerial refueling, airlift and aeromedicalevacuation missions in support of OCO. The KC-135 is called up to perform these missions close to the battlefield,which involves operating in a complex air traffic environment and being potentially exposed to enemy fire. Toperform these missions effectively and increase its survivability, there is a need for the KC-135 to have to have anetcentric Real Time Information in the Cockpit (RTIC) capability to provide enhanced Situational Awareness (SA)of the battlespace. The ability to provide an RTIC/SA capability involves a system that integrates a data linkcapability and a method to display the information in the cockpit. The essential elements for this system areavailable today: the data link capability can be provided by installing a current version of the ARC-210multiband/mode radio which would be a drop-in replacement for an existing ARC-210, and the display capabilitycan be provided by a 9x12 inch LCD display that is programmed to be installed as part of the Block 45 upgrade toreplace the analog engine instrument dials which are becoming logistically unsupportable. In addition, the KC-135fleet will be in the inventory for the next 20 years. Therefore, providing the fleet with an RTIC/SA capability whichis being called-out for the KC-X is not "nice-to-have" but, a necessity.

Pipeline $750,000

This project will address several obstacles in developing and supporting technology entrepreneurs in rural areas:Many rural communities have struggled for decades with the loss of jobs and income from restructuring in theagricultural and manufacturing sectors. Most of the technologies being propagated in rural areas are urban-basedand biased. They trickle down to rural areas. The inputs into an entrepreneurial process, capital, management,technology, and skilled labor, tend to be easier to find in urban areas. Professional advice is also hard to come by.Consequently, entrepreneurial behavior, the ability to spot unconventional market opportunities, is most lacking inthose rural areas where it is most needed i.e., where the scarcity of 'these other inputs' is the highest. Existingeconomic development would be greatly enhanced and accelerated by addressing these unique challenges withthe PIPELINE model.

This program will provide a breakthrough in technology integration and will achieve significant cost and cycle-timereductions in new material insertion through (a) data-sharing among multiple users, (b) statistical continuity fromone length-scale to another and (c) reduced testing via increased capability and use of numerical/analyticalsimulation tools. Anticipated benefits include reductions in nonrecurring and recurring program qualification costsand introduction of multiple sources of new advanced material forms. Unlike structures that use metallic materialsin the manufacturing process, the material properties of a composite are manufactured into the structure as partof the fabrication process. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that critical parameters pertaining to compositematerials and their production processes are identified to facilitate adherence to standards in the final engineeredpart. Presently, each original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is responsible for this assurance, creating"customized", nonstandard procedures for quality and safety assurance.

Advanced Materials Research $4,500,000

The aviation safety aspects related to research done at WSU/NIAR should not be overlooked with regard toeconomic impact. Boeing estimates that approximately 25% of the market for new commercial transports willreplace older in-service planes, and the remaining 75% will accommodate passenger and cargo traffic growth. Thismeans that about 62% of the fleet operating now will still be flying in 20 years. The advanced material applications,composite repair, health monitoring, and crashworthiness research that will be conducted by WSU/NIAR will becrucial to maintaining the safety of those aging aircraft still in service.

Aging Military Aircraft Fleet Support $2,000,000

Most of the aging research being conducted presently is focused on metallic structures. In addition to the ongoingresearch in aging metallic structures, the requested appropriation will permit NIAR to partner with the NAVY andinvestigate the effects of aging on composite structures as well as composite/metallic hybrid structures. As morecomposite components are being certified and used on primary and "flight critical" secondary structures, a futureneed of the military and commercial aviation industry will be the investigation of these composite structures andthe assurance of the airworthiness of composite components. NIAR already has a background in this throughpartnerships with the FAA by investigating Boeing 737 composite tail structures which flew commercial service forover 20 years and by examining the first of all composite certified aircraft recently taken out of service, theBeechcraft Starship. Lessons learned from this research will provide insight into the aging aspects of othercomposite aircraft structures and influence the use of advanced materials on new aircraft being proposed for

military service as well as maintenance of the existing fleet.
