A need exists within the Navy for high quality, conformal optic sensor windows fabricated from MgAl2O4 spinel that exhibit excellent visible through mid-IR transmission. The implementation of spinel c ...

The Navy has critical and enabling needs for large, strong transparent windows for electro-optical sensor applications on surface vessels, subsurface vessels and airborne systems that are currently be ...

Spinel is a transparent polycrystalline ceramic whose combination of high hardness, light weight and broad band transmission (UV-Mid IR) properties make it ideal for transparent armor and reconnaissan ...

Technology Assessment & Transfer proposes to develop a state-of-the-art terahertz imaging spectrometer capable of sub-wavelength resolution and high sensitivity to trace amounts of chemical and biolog ...

The understanding of matter and the nuclear forces that govern their structure has led to scientific revelations which have had not only great impact on the physics community, but also o ...

The damaging effects of age, poor framing and general wear and tear on traditional ship based transparent armor windows leads to delamination or other failures within the window. These failures compro ...

ABSTRACT: Satellites that operate in low Earth orbit undergo significant transient and non-uniform environmental thermal loads. Further, the payloads on many satellites are also highly transient. B ...

The Phase II SBIR program will address a need for durable, infra-red transmitting sensor windows of large area, eventually as large as 32"x 32"x 0.5". Two areas of study are planned. The first is to i ...

One of the great hurdles to further development and evaluation of nuclear thermal propulsion systems is the issue surrounding the release of radioactive material from the fuel during ground testing an ...

This proposal introduces advances in the performance and packaging of modular radiators for heat flow modulation on operationally responsive space (ORS) smallsats. The proposed concept is based on th ...
