In this proposal, state-of-the-art demolition techniques based on a newly patented method (US 6,530,325 B2) are applied to ship dismantling to decrease the manpower and time necessary to dismantle a naval vessel. This method utilizes the cutting and breaking capabilities of explosives to create… More

The objective of the proposed research and development work is to create two new types of compact, autonomous, pulse-detonation-driven high-power microwave sources that provide multiple pulse radiation. These systems are to be used to construct small to medium caliber munitions (40-mm to 155-mm) to… More

The objective of the proposed research and development work is to create three new types of multiple-pulse, miniature, and autonomous explosive-driven high-power microwave systems. These systems are to be used to construct small to medium caliber munitions (40-mm to 155-mm), to increase the scope of… More

The proposed effort extends work recently completed (in 2003) at the University of Missouri - Rolla (UMR) and at Texas A&M University (TAMU) under the "Explosive-Driven Power Generation for Directed-Energy Munitions," Topic 11 of the DoD FY 98 Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University… More

The objective of the proposed research and development work is to create the power conditioning needed for explosive driven pulsed power devices to properly drive various loads being considered as payloads for missiles and gun launched projectiles. The system we are proposing will be complete unit,… More

As defined by SBIR Topic A06-204, Miniature Explosive Pulsed Power for Missiles and Munitions, the objective of this effort is to develop miniature explosive driven pulsed power technologies to power a variety of missile and gun launched payloads. Explosive pulsed power systems consist of those… More

The overarching objective of the proposed research and development work is to create a new type of our miniature, autonomous, explosive-driven high-power microwave source that provides multiple radiation pulses. Each system will be a complete unit that will include all components necessary for… More

The objective of the proposed research and development work is to create new types of compact, autonomous explosive-driven high-power microwave (HPM) systems based on the magnetic flux compression generator (FCG). There will be no moving parts (to include armatures) in these devices; the systems… More

The objective of the proposed research and development work is to create two new types of ultra-compact, energy efficient, high voltage switches. These switches will be used to deliver the energy from power supplies that store very small (0.5-5 J) amounts of prime energy to loads of different types.… More
