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 ...

A Novel Approach for Optimizing HVP Fly-Out Trajectories to Maximize Likelihood of Intercept
SBC: SPACEWORKS ENTERPRISES INC Topic: MDA18002SpaceWorks Enterprises, Inc. (SEI) seeks government support for the development of a novel, scalable approach to generating and optimizing fly-out trajectories in real-time, specifically intended for use on the Hypervelocity projectile (HVP) system. The proposed software architecture would determine the most effective control approach at each point in time in order to maximize the projectile's cov ...

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 ...

Aerodynamic Characteristics of Missile Fragments Using a Digital Wind Tunnel
SBC: Flow Parametrics, LLC Topic: MDA07016Lift and drag characteristics of arbitray, irregularly shaped fragments will be computed using a combination of Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) method. Cartesian meshes will be generated for the shapes, and accurate lift and drag characteristics will be post-processed using the simulation data bases. Outputs will be in the form of tables that ca ...

Adaptive Methods for Target Tracking, and Guidance and Control for the U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense System
SBC: GUIDED SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: MDA07012Ballistic missiles pose formidable challenges for target tracking and intercept because of their spiraling dynamics and significant maneuverability potential as they re-enter the atmosphere at high speeds. Recent studies have shown that conventional methods to estimation, guidance and control design are unable to guarantee sufficient accuracy against such highly maneuvering targets. This is not un ...

Photonic control technology for Phased Arrays
SBC: ODIS , Inc. Topic: MDA07038Phased arrays radars can expect considerable improvements with RF photonics. Current TR modules use numerous MMIC chips, ferrite circulators and phase shifters and quasi-optical true-time-delay (TTD). Transmission power distribution and synchronization across multiple RF interfaces can be improved. Large scale integration could address the problem of interconnecting boards with GHZ RF outputs but ...

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 ...

Atmospheric Effects Mitigation for Improved Boost Phase Track Correlation Sensor Fusion
SBC: PROPAGATION RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC Topic: MDA07046Propagation Research Associates, Inc., (PRA) proposes to develop multi-spectral track correlation algorithms to improve boost phase track radar-to-radar and optical-to-radar track correlation for multiple sensor fusion. These algorithms will enable enhanced effectiveness in track correlation subroutines and enable effective sensor fusion, thereby increasing the coverage area of BMD space-based op ...

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 ...
