Green Monopropellant Thruster TRL Maturation Scaling Effort
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: MDA12T008Diode-Pumped Alkali Lasers (DPALs) have great potential for high-energy lasers. Proper design of these systems is challenging because many interrelated processes impact their performance, and critical kinetic rate coefficients are not well known. In response, our team is developing a comprehensive physics-based analysis/design tool, and experimentally determining key kinetic rate coefficients. The ...

Sub-Scale Fly Along Sensor Package
SBC: Control Vision, Inc. Topic: MDA16017During this SBIR program, Control Vision, Inc. will develop an innovative sub-scale Fly Along Sensor Package (sFASP) which will be deployed from a Ballistic Missile Defense System flight test target AO deployment canister. This sFASP will give unprecedented sensor visibility into Ballistic Missile Defense System test scenes providing truth data to the many different areas of Missile Defense. Appro ...

Thermally Efficient Emitter Technology for Advanced Scene/Simulation Capability in Hardware in the Loop Testing
SBC: ROBERT A. RICHWINE, LLC Topic: MDA15014We introduce a concept and a design for a high-speed, high-temperature infrared scene projector for midwave (MWIR) and longwave infrared (LWIR) application. Results from study of carbon nanotube (CNT) material characteristics, along with field emission and electro-thermal modeling show that higheffective MWIR temperatures can be sustained and projected by a CNT pixel with little or no spillover to ...

Control Electronics for Space-Qualified Cryogenic Coolers
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: MDA17T003Future MDA space missions will utilize small spacecraft with correspondingly small, advanced sensor systems. Cooling of these sensors is required to decrease detector noise and increase detector sensitivity by maintaining the detector at a reduced operating temperature. The cooling system comprises a mechanical cryocooler and its control electronics, both of which are critical technologies to enab ...

Through-Lens Fiducial Marking System
SBC: INFRARED LABORATORIES INC Topic: DMEA172002Infrared emission microscope (IREM) systems are used to image active integrated circuits to analyze circuit function or locate manufacturing and design defects. IREM systems are able to directly image the operation of individual transistors or transistor groups that form logic gates. Depending on lenses used, an IREM system can resolve features smaller than 100 nm. Once an area of interest (AOI) i ...

Passive IR Sensors Based on High Quantum Efficiency P-on-N Type-II Strained Layer Superlattices
SBC: QMAGIQ LLC Topic: MDA06013We propose to develop a high-performance longwave infrared focal plane array (FPA) based on Type-II InAs/(In)GaSb strained-layer-superlattice (SLS) technology and deliver it packaged in a portable handheld CAMERA. In Phase 1, a matrix of recipes was designed and grown, several wafers were processed, arrays were fabricated and characterized, and material and process issues identified. In Phase 2, ...

Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) Performance Improvement
SBC: Fibernetics LLC Topic: MDA07052Research is proposed to develop and demonstrate innovative, revolutionary approaches in components and architecture, to improve fiber optic gyro (FOG) performance without increasing current FOG size and weight. Gyroscopes are critical components of many inertial measurement units (IMU) including proposed MDA systems such as Airborne Laser (ABL). The FOG is potentially a more reliable and less co ...

An Advanced Thermal Management System for Gimbal-Mounted Sensors
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: MDA07004Future missile detection systems will require improved thermal management for cooling gimbal-mounted sensors and optics. Current systems utilize cryocoolers placed on the gimbal, which necessitates the cryocooler heat to be rejected directly from the gimbal. A far superior approach in terms of payload mass would locate the warm elements of the cryocooler on the stationary platform near the space ...

Longwave Infrared Focal Plane Arrays for Missile Tracking at High Frame Rates
SBC: QMAGIQ LLC Topic: MDA07015Missile seekers would benefit from a focal plane array (FPA) that allowed high-speed single or multiple-windowing acquisition of the target or targets while maintaining situational awareness of the rest of the field of view. Such data reduction helps where bandwidth is limited, e.g. arrays with formats larger than 1Kx1K, allowing tracking of high-speed missiles at high frame rates. Readout multi ...

Ultra-Large-Format 2Kx2K 2-Color Midwave/Midwave Infrared Focal Plane Array for the AirBorne Laser Program
SBC: QMAGIQ LLC Topic: MDA07032We propose to develop a 2Kx2K 2-Color focal plane array (FPA) that provides pixel-registered and simultaneous imaging in two MIDWAVE infrared spectral bands. We will use a novel bandgap-engineered sensor that minimizes spectral crosstalk between the two midwave bands better than current sensor technologies. The FPA also uses a readout multiplexer that provides massive on-chip data compression by ...
