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 ...

Fiber coupled mid-infrared semiconductor lasers provide potential reduction in life cycle costs for tactical military systems compared to current lasers. The proposed work will investigate the stability of semiconductor lasers in military environments for reliable insertion into mid-infrared transmitting fiber optics. The overall project will demonstrate stable operation of a moderate power, mul ...

This model-centric approach must integrate different model types with simulation, surrogates, systems and components at different levels of abstraction and fidelity across disciplines throughout the life cycle. The integrated perspectives provide cross-domain views for rapid system level analysis allowing engineering from various disciplines and using dynamic models and surrogates to enable contin ...

"The Air Force requires the capability to provide cryogenic cooling of electronics, focal plane arrays, and cryogenic fluids for long term (over five year) space missions. In Phase II, we propose to continue developing enabling technology for long-termspace-based low-temperature (

Optically pumped, high power, mid-Infrared semiconductor lasers that operate at cryogenic temperature must be engineered to operate over large ambient temperature and harsh vibration environments to be able to be used in future IRCM systems. The proposed work will demonstrate novel methods of laser packaging that enable operation of a low cost, mid-infrared, semiconductor laser in military tempe ...
