Meta-optic Image Differentiation for High-speed Target Recognition
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: A21CT014Fast and accurate object detection in the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) is critical for many DoD platforms including missile systems. Current object detection algorithms generally employ computationally heavy frontends to perform edge filtering tasks for keypoint identification and blob detection. Offloading the edge filtering tasks to optical components, which perform image differentiation or edge det ...

intelligent Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (iFMCW)
SBC: AVNIK DEFENSE SOLUTIONS INC Topic: A21CT013Technical Abstract: Operational availability, reliability, and performance of Army weapons systems platforms are key factors in achieving mission success. Army maintainers and depot artisans have a requirement for an intelligent toolset to quickly detect, locate, characterize/classify, and predict wire and connector faults in interconnect cables. AVNIK Defense Solutions, Inc. (AVNIK) has condu ...

High Launch Force Survivable Bispectral Obscurant
SBC: Integrated Solutions for Systems, Inc. Topic: A21CT019Bispectral Obscurants are used to defend troops and equipment from electro-optical and infra-red (EO/IR) detection devices. These obscurants are packaged within small form factor munitions such as a 66mm grenade or hand emplaced units that subsequently release the obscurant material into the air. The US Army is interested in Bispectral Obscurants that can survive high acceleration loads when launc ...

Multi-Spectral Geomaterial Characterization
SBC: CORNERSTONE RESEARCH GROUP INC Topic: A20BT018Determining physical properties such as density, strength and stiffness of structures made from geomaterials typically requires destructive testing for direct measurements or inference from non-destructive measurements when the composition is unknown. These methods also require physical proximity to the structures being evaluated, a luxury that is not always available or safe. A non-destructive me ...

Spray Dried Powder Compositions for Dual-use Secondary High Explosive and Rocket Propellants
SBC: DIVISION BY ZERO DEVELOPMENT LABS LLC Topic: A21CT001The U.S. Army has a future need for multiple secondary high explosive compositions that can also be used interchangeably as rocket propellants. In this proposal we will discuss a method of preparing such compositions via advanced spray drying technology and involving the use of a highly insensitive spray dried nitramine or CL-20 composition which have been plasticized with an energetic polymer t ...

Protective Nanostructured Coatings for Engine Fuel Systems (21-RD-327)
SBC: UES INC Topic: A21CT005The combustion engines of unmanned vehicles are powered by jet fuel at higher pressure. Although higher pressure injection of fuel delivers power and better fuel consumption benefits, it creates an issue related to fuel lubricity. Batch to batch variation in the lubricity of commonly used jet fuel (F-24) could also be an issue for proper functioning of the fuel lubricated engines operated at highe ...

intelligent Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (iFMCW)
SBC: AVNIK DEFENSE SOLUTIONS INC Topic: A21CT013Operational availability, reliability, and performance of Army weapons systems platforms are key factors in achieving mission success. Aircraft, RADAR, intermediate Missile, and combat vehicles depend on the health of their systems to perform reliably over extended periods of time. Maintenance of equipment and components, including interconnect cables and connectors, is an important aspect of re ...

Meta-optic Image Differentiation for High-speed Target Recognition
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: A21CT014There is a growing need for faster target recognition algorithms that also reduce power consumption and information bandwidth. Optical analog computing systems can fill this need by offloading the most computationally expensive tasks to the optics; however, traditional systems are too heavy and bulky for size, weight, and power-constrained platforms. In this work, we will develop a mid-wave infrar ...

Fast and Robust Algorithms and Software for Limited-Data Computed Tomography
SBC: SPECTRAL ENERGIES LLC Topic: A22BT006Nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) are critical quality control steps when manufacturing munitions and warfare systems. Traditional methods of inspection can identify defects located at or near the surface of an object but cannot reveal internal defects. X-ray and neutron radiography are nonintrusive measurement techniques that record 2D path-integrated images of a target object, called ...

Mapping Strain in Composite Materials using Terahertz Metamaterials
SBC: SRICO INC Topic: A22BT013This proposal develops a methodology to detect and map regions of incipient failure in opaque composite materials using a terahertz (THz) metamaterial laminate (MML) whose polarimetric response is sensitive to local strain. This proposal develops a practical THz metamaterials and metrology system that can be adapted to a large range of opaque composite material applications. Specifically, MML st ...
