This effort is focussed toward improvements in efficiency-bandwidth performance of electrically small antennas derived from innovative electromagnetic meta-material designs. Optimizations are sought ...

Measurements of Total Hemispherical Reflectance under high temperature conditions are needed for accurate assessment of lethality functions of the ABL program. During engagement by high power lasers, ...

In recent years, military engagements have moved from the traditional battlefield to urban or suburban settings. In this environment, security patrols are much more likely to encounter an IED or hidd ...

We propose to generate electricity for data buoys in a whole new way, leveraging SARA’s laboratory-demonstrated and patented liquid-metal magnetohydrodynamic (LMMHD) technology. Phase I will prove ...

The Phase I effort demonstrated the ability of a ground-insertable probe to extend the reach of LIBS technology to buried targets and that all the components can be made completely portable. Phase II ...

The Navy is currently developing an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) program. Currently operating systems require human operators for each USV. Manual operation of USVs results in an inefficient use o ...

Present Blue-Green lasers are inefficient (0.5 – 2.0 %) owing to the losses incurred by using multiple/cascaded solid-state and two or more nonlinear optical frequency conversion stages. We propose ...

At present carefully placed arrays of dynamic pressure transducers placed on, within and around wind tunnel models must be calibrated prior to testing. Failure to calibrate properly has the potential ...

A mobile, vehicle mounted, geolocation system for low power, non-cooperative RF signals will be fabricated and tested. This system will monitor the RF spectrum and detect signals, provide geolocation ...

The proposal describes a solution offered by SARA, Inc. in response to the problem of scanning and characterizing a large number of holes drilled by a laser on jet engine components and other aerospac ...
