During Phase I and a first Phase II, Welkin Sciences developed the Channel Realization Generator (CReG) algorithm, an enhanced functional replacement for the ACIRF code intended to be embedded into software link simulations and HWIL fading channel simulators. The proposed second Phase II effort will refine the CReG documentation and its software and firmware implementations. Many in the strategic ...

Our objective is to develop and demonstrate an integrated capability to perform dynamic retasking of enterprise wide management of OPIR, radar, and other operationally relevant sensors. The goals of this effort are to refine our existing OPIR tasking approach and to develop and Enterprise SRM approach that will allow the C2BMC to achieve the earliest possible launch detection and maintain the high ...

Under this Phase II SBIR effort Welkin Sciences will design and implement a Jammer Emulator hosted on the MDA sponsored CoLTS-LC hardware platform, originally built for nuclear-effects channel simulation.The Jammer Emulator will support emulation of a wide range of jamming methods, including frequency-following, which is not readily implemented using standard commercial test equipment.A remote int ...

The Missile Defense Agency seek solid propellant, propulsion control systems with longer operation times, increased performance, and reduced size, weight, power, and cost.Solid propellant exhaust gases are commonly 2,000-4,000F.Proportionally controlled actuators that are capable of enduring higher temperatures while aiming to maintain performance and/or reduce SWaP-C will improve the robustness o ...

To enhance Operational Test (OT) fidelity, increase automation, and shorten the testing process, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) seeks innovative research efforts to develop scenario generation technologies. STILMAN proposes to conduct novel research to develop a highly automated and ‘composable’ scenario generation toolset. Currently, in the distributed system of systems Operational Test ...

To effectively characterize the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) using modeling and simulation (M&S), techniques from the fields of simulation optimization, analysis, and uncertainty quantification can be used, but these techniques require the execution hundreds or thousands of simulation runs. OptTek, a pioneer in commercial simulation optimization, initially designed search algorithms for ...

In Phase I of this effort we analyzed the structural response of a BLU 109 during typical penetration events. Based on these finite element results, we proposed and demsonstrated a simple robust concept for a passive penetrator sensor that identifies the material being penetrated and also correlates strongly with its underground trajectory. Such a sensor would obviously provide valuable informatio ...

Orora Design Technologies proposes to develop electronic design automation (EDA) tools employing minimally invasive circuit design-based methods to mitigate single event effects (SEEs) for next generation Ultra-DSM CMOS (

As technology feature sizes decrease, single event upset (SEU), digital single event transient (DSET), and multiple bit upset (MBU) effects dominate the radiation response of microcircuits. Recent test circuits and test methods have quantified the pulse widths of DSETs generated from heavy-ion strikes on critical microcircuit nodes. These pulse widths have proven to be much larger than previousl ...

Colorado Engineering, Inc (CEI) is a woman owned business with a wealth of engineering expertise in the development of boards, software and systems for DOD radar applications. In recent years a lot of signal processing applications have been implemented with a homogeneous general purpose processor environment. The driving forces for utilizing these technologies in radar signal processing archite ...
