• Assessing the Safety Culture of Coal Mining
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A project to work with a consultant, Human Performance Analysis, to assess the safety culture at U.S. coal mines.
• An Analysis of Health and Safety Management Systems in Mining
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A pilot project to identify leading indicators in health and safety management practices unique to the mining industry and compare them against the leading indicators of mature occupational health and safety programs.
• Demonstration of the Ability of Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing Technologies to Enhance Mine Safety
  8/23/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to explore early detection of rock movement signaling imminent underground space or pit wall collapse in mines, which has the potential to prevent loss of life and serious injuries from mine disasters.
• Mobile Adaptable RF/IT Infrastructure - Experimental (MATRIX)
  7/19/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to test the efficacy of deploying a vehicular satellite communication system, augmented with rapidly deployable mesh networking nodes and other emerging telecommunications technologies, during mine rescue and other emergency events.
• Mine Communications Engineering and Compatibility Guidelines
  7/19/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to ensure that the limited useful spectrum is used efficiently, health and safety hazards are not introduced, and new systems do not interfere with each other or with older systems already in place.
• Medium Frequency Radio System Modifications for Refuge Chamber Situational Awareness
  7/19/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to modify medium frequency radio systems to improve refuge chamber situational awareness in an underground coal mine.
• A Magnetic Communication System for Use in Mine Environments
  7/19/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to develop and demo a two-way, through-the-earth communication system for mines that applies state-of-the-art communications technologies to overcome subterranean wireless communication challenges while meeting industrial safety standards.
• Magnetic Communication System (MCS)
  7/19/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to enhance key features of the through-the-earth prototype previously developed to improve its usability, investigate design changes to comply with mine safety standards, ruggedize the hardware, and demonstrate performance at coal mine sites.
• Leaky Feeder to Wireless Media Converter Device Technology Development
  7/19/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to develop and test a Media Converter Device (MCD) that allows wireless handheld radios to communicate with leaky feeder communication systems. This will greatly improve voice quality and underground communications coverage in cross-cuts.
• Full-Wave Modeling of MF Propagation
  7/19/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to develop models of MF propagation in mines based on the results simulated through full-wave electromagnetic models.
