The US Army is seeking a high-resolution, rail-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging system capable of operating within the 100 – 300GHz frequency range. Wide bandwidth SAR technologies at this frequency range provide the potential for supporting applications that require high-resolution, non-destructive imaging. In response to this opportunity, MaXentric is proposing an EHF rail-based SA ...

Small arms round counting, strike detection, projectile trajectory mapping, infrared and visible muzzle flash sensing, and projectile velocity spectrum (subsonic to supersonic) analysis requires a highly accurate sensor capable of locating within one half caliber in strike location detection, and without missed event in iteration counting. We propose our ultra-fast Photon-Sensing Integrated Circui ...

To meet the demands of the A17-017 SBIR solicitation ("Same Frequency Simultaneous Transmit and Receive Radio for Military and Commercial Applications"), the MaXentric / FIU team proposes the STaRwAARS (Simultaneous Transmit and Receive with Agile Adjustable Response System), which realize >70 dB transmitter-to-receiver isolation cleverly combining dual-polarization antenna and non-reciprocal tuna ...

The solicitation seeks to develop and demonstrate a covert solution for high bandwidth link capacity for agile, airborne platforms through dynamic beam adjustment, and frequency mobility along the 60GHz oxygen absorption line. MaXentric has teamed up with FIU to develop an innovative, efficient, and scalable architecture, which combines a novel wideband phased array antenna design, with an efficie ...

This proposal offers a new approach to stabilizing the very high capacity Si to use for lithium ion anodes - the use of a LiSi alloy rather than only Si. By starting with a silicon alloy instead of pure silicon, the initial structure is already in a stable expanded state. Mathematically stresses encountered on charging and discharging are reduced when the silicon is partially lithiated. It has bee ...

There is a definite need for tactical ad-hoc networks to understand to which degree communications can still occur in congested and contested environments where power sources are short-lived, the spectrum is limited and where jamming (both friendly and adversarial) can occur spontaneously and without warning. In this situation, network nodes will need to cooperate and coordinate negotiate ways for ...

To meet the demands of the A18-061 SBIR solicitation ("Medical Sensors Powered by Human Generated Energy"), MaXentric proposes an energy harvesting system that generates power directly from the users' body. This harvesting system, when integrated with a sensor patch, results in a system with greatly extended continuous use time allowing for application in "prolonged field care" scenarios. The enti ...

The objective will be to develop and fabricate wideband low loss radome that can efficiently pass X-Ku Band frequencies for very large antenna applications. UDC will fabricate flat panels of the leading electromagnetic radome material candidates. Physical, electrical and magnetic properties will be tested in accordance with ASTM for up to 150F use and 180F survive temperature. UDC will prove the f ...

The US Army currently uses the Armored Vehicle-Launched Bridge (AVLB) to temporarily span gaps in the terrain such as rivers, ravines or replace blown-up bridges. The launch system utilizes an in-bridge hydraulic cylinder and cable-pulley system to deploy and retrieve the 63-foot-long scissor type bridge. This hydraulic cylinder and cable- pulley system is bulky, heavy and adds significant load to ...

Maxentric’s solution provides multi-level security and information flow control with cell level encryption for existing relational databases. At the tactical edge, access to advanced cloud based services such Apache Accumulo may not be possible. The novel database solution allows these types of services to be deployed in any point of the network, but also to be integrated in already existing app ...
