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 ...

Radiation-defect mitigation in InAs/GaSb strained-layer superlattice infrared detectors
SBC: TRUVENTIC LLC Topic: MDA16011This Phase II SBIR project will advance the technical readiness level (TRL) of our Phase-I-demonstrated strategy for mitigating radiation damage in GaSb/InAs Type II Strained-Layer-Superlattice (SLS) long-wave infrared (LWIR) detectors. Our mitigation strategy will be optimized for detectors to be deployed in interceptor seeker systems that will be exposed to radiation in the near-Earth orbital en ...

Prototyping of Transform-Domain INS Mechanization and Algorithmic Correction
SBC: QUNAV LLC Topic: MDA16012QuNav proposes to validate and prototype a TRansform-domain INS Mechanization and Algorithmic Correction (TRIMAC). TRIMAC utilizes joint time/frequency domain processing of inertial sensor data in order to mitigate INS drift in the absence of external navaids (such as GPS). Frequency-domain implementation is particularly designed to improve the inertial performance in high-vibration missile enviro ...

Performance optimized hierarchical microstructure propellant for future small interceptor rocket motors
SBC: HELICON CHEMICAL COMPANY LLC Topic: MDA18004Future MDA interceptors require advanced propulsion capabilities, with higher performance in smaller, volume-constrained systems. Innovative propellant chemistry is needed to enable substantially greater performance in smaller packages. One factor limiting the maximum performance achievable in modern propellants is the slow ignition and combustion of the propellant’s metal fuel particles, typica ...

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 ...

Industrial-quality acceleration of MDA’s missile defense simulation infrastructures —A novel theory of optimal data compression inspired on the OSF
SBC: Accelogic, LLC Topic: MDA17004MDA’s Objective-Simulation-Framework (OSF) is a crucial infrastructure for improving the nation’s BMDS. Albeit successful in enabling high-quality ground tests, OSF’s distributed simulations are hampered by hefty data transmissions that could consume up to 50% of the time in a single run. To address this problem, and with the ultimate goal of substantially accelerating OSF tra ...

High Performance Cooled Seeker Window
SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP Topic: MDA17005Infrared (IR) windows operating in the environment experienced by endo-atmospheric interceptors are limited in performance by the high heat fluxes, temperatures, and pressures characteristic of these environments. Window temperature can exceed 900 C from exposure to the high heat fluxes and temperatures associated with hypersonic flight. Existing materials are limited by poor mechanical and optica ...
