The scope of this work includes design, analysis, manufacturing, integration, and test of the GO1 hypersonic flight test platform. The Contractor shall complete design of the system, qualify the system for flight through ground testing, and validate the f

The Microballoon Manufacturing and Autopilot Development Program proposed under the scope of this effort is a comprehensive initiative focusing on advancing the production process and flight controls of stratospheric microballoons. The program emphasizes

  Orbit Fab will design, test, and build a flight prototype EELV Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA) port refueling module payload. The payload will incorporate the necessary components to capture and transfer hydrazine to a client spacecraft equipped with

The Phase II effort will fully develop and realize a cost-effective, practically-oriented means to design and deliver radiation hardened digital electronic components capable of reliable operation in MDA and other DoD space and interceptor environments. Micro-RDC will accomplish this by working closely with ViASIC to integrate both new and existing radiation design hardening techniques into their ...

ABSTRACT: Sapphire possesses a number of physical properties, including high strength, high melting point, chemical inertness, and excellent transparency in the visible and IR spectrum, which make it an attractive window material for military applications. For Phase I, Rubicon Technology demonstrated a sapphire crystal growth process to MRL 5 capable of growing slabs 20"x 14". During Phase II th ...

The proposed scope of work is intended to comprise efforts to implement a production capable Electron Beam Direct Manufacturing (EBDM)system intended to produce parts with sufficient quality and affordability to meet Air Force program requirements. The scope deals not only with the EBDM process specifically but the entire supply chain which is involved with delivering finished titanium aerospace s ...

The work proposed herein can be divided into three primary tasks: pre-qualification testing, AIAA S-111A qualification, and AIAA S-112A qualification. Each of the AIAA qualifications can be split into three separate sections: qualification tests with pass/fail criteria, characterization tests used to estimate properties and degradation of cells and panels over a given mission, and a quality report ...

A light weight night vision system is integrated to the visor of military type helmet. The intensified field of view is 100 degrees horizontal by 40 degrees vertical. Peripheral field of view is practically unobstructed and provides up-look capability. Long eye relief provides for eye glasses clearance. This night vision visor is a self contained unit with low profile and close center of gravi ...

ABSTRACT: Aircraft transparency systems such as canopies incorporate conductive layers that provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. These conductive layers require inspection during manufacturing and throughout the life of the aircraft to ensure proper electrical performance is achieved and maintained. Current manufacturing inspections are conducted manually, are time consuming, and ...
