Plasma Arc technologies Wind and Radar Compatibility 1. Improved Air Surveillance radar technologies a. Signal processing technologies b. Reduces backscatter 2. Improved turbine/blade technologies for reduced radar cross-section DeVenCI is a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) activity whose dual goals are to speed DoD adoption of promising new commercial technologies and to encourage broader commercial support of the DoD supply chain. DeVenCI uses workshops, technical expositions, industry outreach, and a publically available web site (http://devenci.dtic.mil/) to increase the visibility of DoD needs to commercial companies and technology area experts. It provides timely information to DoD users about emerging technical innovations and pilot opportunities. DeVenCI is a catalyst initiative that does not fund the development of new technologies or businesses. Instead, it focuses on knowledge brokering by encouraging and facilitating the sharing of information to speed adoption of emerging technology solutions to DoD user needs. Companies interested in applying for participation in this workshop should contact DeVenCI via e-mail at devenci@osd.mil for an application. All applications must be received on or before February 25, 2011. Selected companies will be responsible for their travel and all other expenses associated with participation in this workshop which will be held April 25-26, 2011.
