• 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.
• Emergency Seismic Communication System for the Mining Industry
  7/19/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to explore a new communication technology that re-uses undersea modem technology and concepts for seismic communication within the mining industry.
• Development of a Uniform Methodology for Evaluating Coal Mine Tracking Systems
  7/18/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to develop and demonstrate a methodology for the uniform evaluation of tracking technologies in underground coal mines.
• Development of a Severe Injury Surveillance System for Hazard Identification and Guiding Technological Interventions
  7/18/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to develop a Severe Injury Surveillance System using the Mine Safety and Health Administration's accident/injury/illness database.
• Develop a Means to Model Network Performance Using Network Simulation Tools
  7/18/2016 - Interagency agreements
  An interagency agreement to develop modeling and simulation tools to evaluate the performance of underground mine wireless communications networks.
• Designing a Statistical Algorithm for Strategic Identification and Development of New Mine Safety Technologies and Technological Applications
  7/18/2016
