PolyMaterials App, LLC (PolyMaterials) proposes to develop a supercapacitor cell suited for MDA applications after a very successful Phase I and Phase II effort addressing topic number MDA19-007, “Supercapacitor Nano-architecture Using Bio-carbon-based Materials Derived from Plant Cellulose”. The primary objective of this 2nd Phase II proposal is to transition PolyMaterials’ supercapacitor, ...

As the Missile Defense System (MDS) codebase grows, it is essential to establish a strategy to automate the verification of software compliance with standards. As breakthrough-enabling technologies, AI and ML can make verifying and complying with standards nearly invisible to the development team, giving clear metrics to quality authorities. The codebase needs to follow the MDA Assurance Provision ...

Highly maneuverable hypersonic vehicles pose an emerging threat which require that we revisit the kill mechanisms employed to defeat them. In Phase I, SwRI and Anyar will consider a trade space study that examines the potential for including blast/fragmentation warhead systems to increase the volume of space available to impart lethal effects. Anyar’s overarching objectives are defined in the co ...

Traditional deep learning (DL) classifiers often ignore contextual data, limiting complex threat scenario analysis. A new approach, incorporating a wide range of contextual data, is needed to improve object of interest classification, tracking, and targeting. Clostra’s CT-ID (Contextual Threat Identification) will incorporate multi-sensor, time-series, and high-level contextual data, improving t ...

Seeker performance is limited by the infrared window’s ability to survive and image in a high-Mach, endo-atmospheric environment. Window materials primarily fail because of thermal shock, but can also experience issues due to absorption/emission at elevated temperature and material decomposition. Internally cooled windows can be used to improve the optical and thermo-structural performance of in ...

As a breakthrough enabling technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can make verifying and complying with standards nearly invisible to a development team, giving clear metrics to quality authorities. Coding and required interfaces are established on many different factors, such as integrated development environments (IDEs) that comprise the differences in the codebase ov ...

Modus Operandi proposes a collaborative web-based architectural management tool to provide as an additive to another Modus developed technology that parses and ingests requirements documents, spreadsheets and integrates with other modeling and requirements tools such as DOORS. MAAM (Machine learning Automated Architectural Modeling) will provide a comprehensive solution that pulls together current ...

PolyMaterials App, LLC proposes to develop a prototype supercapacitor cell suited for MDA applications in Phase II after a very successful Phase I effort which addressed, topic number MDA19-007 titled,” Supercapacitor Nano-architecture Using Bicarbon-based Materials Derived From Plant Cellulose”. Specifically, the objective of the SBIR project is to develop a flexible prototype supercapacitor ...
