The proposed solution is to develop an infrared light emitting diode (LED) scene projector and the associated system components that shall meet the DoD scene projection requirements and specifications. The unique feature of the proposed solution is the demonstration of a dual-band projector with record-breaking resolution and frame-rate of 2K x 2K x 1KHz for full-frame moving image projection. For ...

Today’s high-power photodiode is perhaps one of the high temperature electronics (HTEs) that requires the highest dissipated heat density. Herein, Phase Sensitive Innovations (PSI) propose to develop a uni- travelling carrier (UTC) photodiode package that has significantly higher saturation power than the current high-speed photodiodes based on hybrid integration of the photodiode structure on h ...

Talos Tech proposes to develop a high voltage and capacitance biocarbon-based supercapacitor by integrating unique biocarbon materials with hierarchical pores and high voltage electrolyte. The novel biocarbon materials will be fabricated by a facile low temperature process from natural abundant plant cellulose and agents. Approved for Public Release | 19-MDA-10270 (18 Nov 19)

Atmospheric refractive index fluctuations directly impact the propagation of laser beams through the atmosphere. A key parameter of interest to be directly acquired or derived from atmospheric measurements is the refractive index structure parameter CN2. Atmospheric refractive index, and therefore CN2, can theoretically be derived as a function of temperature, humidity, and pressure measurements ...

This project develops a nutrition program, MenuChoice©, for community-based group homes for persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). Adults with IDD experience poorer nutritional health and more nutrition-related secondary conditions than adults without disabilities. These conditions are preventable and modifiable through a safe, healthful diet, but multiple challenges precl ...

We aim to design and demonstrate an innovative photonic true time delay solution which alleviates the fundamental problem of cascaded optical switches, and additionally offers several significant benefits. The device uses wideband spatial-spectral (S2) holographic optical memory materials to store and access several broadband time delay gratings. Broadband optical chirps are used to create these ...

MDA is currently developing advanced interceptors for its BMDS. Imaging technology is crucial to this effort for several purposes, including navigation, false-alarm/decoy identification, and estimation of position and speed of potential targets. Although high-resolution imaging systems are readily available, these require (1) power-hungry CMOS arrays (or FPAs) and (2) large-aperture optics, whic ...

The majority of students and educators would probably agree that students are better able to grasp scientific concepts from the use of hands-on activities and other inquiry-based educational practices than from typical lecture problem solving methods. Anasphere, Inc is working to make inquiry based tools and materials for weather and climate education more readily available for students and educat ...

The implementation of anti-tamper (AT) technology as one vital strategy for preserving US military superiority. (Communiqué DoD 5200.1-M) In response to this need, many AT technologies have been developed including AT coatings for securing electronic components and devices. However, the use of successful AT coatings is impeded by lack of a manufacturing process that: 1.) Possesses the capacity ...
