Software Integration for Computational Cognitive Models in Virtual Environments
SBC: Adaptive Cognitive Systems Topic: AF07T020Development of a general purpose software interface between cognitive models and 3D virtual environments requires innovation and research in cognitive abstractions and interfaces, as well as a thoughtful application of software architecture and engineering principles. We propose to embed these innovative cognitive abstractions in a middleware layer that offers “plug-and-play” operation for ar ...

Physics-Based Rapid Aeroelastic Model Updating In Support Of Aircraft Flight Testing
SBC: Advanced Dynamics, Inc. Topic: AF073142The objective of the proposed research aims to develop Reduced Order Models (ROMs) (i.e. POD, HB, combined POD and HB) based upon flight data to better predict the aircraft aeroelastic response at next flight condition, e.g. higher Mach number. By incorporating flight test data and using the highest fidelity computational models in reduced order form we will obtain computational solutions that a ...

Inorganic Radiation Resistant Solar Cell Coverglass Adhesives
SBC: APPLIED THIN FILMS, INC Topic: AF073095The USAF is seeking to replace UV-susceptible adhesive that bonds the solar cell to a cover glass for enhancing conversion efficiency and to improve durability. Adhesives used for space solar modules need to meet many critical requirements including adhesion strength, optical transparency, thermal stability, and resistance against a broad range of radiation present in space environments includin ...

CdSe Top Cells Enabling CdSe/CIGS Tandem Junction Photovoltaics
SBC: Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. Topic: OSD07ES3Ascent Solar Technologies (AST) proposes to take the next step in spacecraft solar array development, building upon previous development to make the definitive thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) device for high-efficiency (> 20%) and high-specific power (greater than 2000 W/kg) when combined with lightweight and flexible substrates. AST will develop wide-bandgap cadmium selenide (CdSe) as a high-effic ...

IR Step and Stare Imager Development
SBC: BOULDER NONLINEAR SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: AF03142This proposal describes the development and fabrication of a step and stare mid-wave infrared (MWIR) imaging system. The system employs ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) optical shutters and a 3x3 array of lenses for imaging one of nine different look directions onto a focal plane array. Each image tile represents approximately a 6 degree by 6 degree field of view. By virtue of its architectur ...

Wide-angle Non-mechanical Steering Development Using Thin Polarization Gratings
SBC: BOULDER NONLINEAR SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: AF03142ABSTRACT: A non-mechanical technique for steering the field of view of lidar sensors is being proposed. This coarse steering technique allows the field of view of active sensors to be moved in precise discrete steps. The ability to scan over ±20° in one dimension has been demonstrated. For Phase II, this capability will be extended to two dimensions and implemented as a compact package. Th ...

Passively Deployed Lightweight Solar Array Structure for Thinned-Multijunction Solar Cells
SBC: COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT, INC. Topic: AF081092Current deployable solar array systems are based on designs that have been in existence for more than 30 years. In general, these heritage designs can be divided into two classes: 1) hinged-panel arrays, which are mechanically simple but mass inefficient, and 2) tensioned-membrane arrays, which are mechanically complex but mass efficient. Arguably, no deployable solar array designs exist that ar ...

Low Cost Solid Surface Deployable Reflector
SBC: COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT, INC. Topic: AF073101Future Air Force satellites will require large aperture RF antennas for various missions in communications, signals intelligence, and Radar. At the same time, Operation Responsive Space (ORS) is striving to develop small satellite technology to provide flexibility and adaptability to meet new and evolving mission needs quickly. However, existing deployable antenna systems do not meet the cost requ ...
