Through this MDA Phase I STTR program, NanoSonic shall work with the high energy laboratory at Penn State and with input from a major US integrator of hypersonic vehicles to develop improved high temperature radome materials for uncooled aerodynamic reentry and hypersonic vehicles. Through prior work, NanoSonic has developed and demonstrated high temperature materials with good thermal insulating ...

NanoSonic will work with Penn State to develop inexpensive automated manufacturing processes for the production of ceramic matrix composite thermal protective system materials with high temperature thermal performance and high thermal insulation propertiesWe will fabricate materials using automated robotic production methods, and perform testing, including high energy irradiation at Penn State’s ...

Obscurants are materials that absorb, scatter, or emit radiation in the visible, infrared (IR), or millimeter wavelength regions of the electromagnetic spectrum to reduce the transmission of radiation. For military applications, this reduction of transmitted radiation interrupts the line of sight between the target and observer to provide a key defensive tool to protect US warfighters from detecti ...

Polaris Semiconductor has pioneered a voltage regulator technology that can raise and lower DC voltage with zero electromagnetic interference (EMI), an extremely compact footprint and high efficiency. This overcomes long-standing pain-points associated with incumbent solutions based on switching regulators, including drawbacks associated with conducted and radiated EMI, high component count, large ...

Barron Associates (Barron) proposes to develop the Wind Detection and Source Seeking (WINDSS ) system in response to the U.S. Air Force STTR solicitation AF21B-T003 Restricted SWAP-C Air Direction Sensing to Enable Single Vehicle Chemical Reactive Trackin

The C-130 Hercules Transport Aircraft is subjected to a wide range of environmental severities, and schedule-based corrosion maintenance processes are insufficient to optimize corrosion management for individual aircraft.  Improved corrosion management ca

In a conflict against an advanced adversary, AOC planners are challenged by the cognitive workload to quickly plan a high-sortie rate COA that leverages all domain synergy.  Synchronized multi-domain COAs that meet commander priorities, while servicing hundreds of targets protected by advanced ISR and IADS networks is a complex task.  Metron has partnered with George Mason University to develop ...

This project aims to develop a decision support system for the strategic-level planning of humanitarian operations. The proposed decision support system will deploy an optimization model and an artificial intelligence (AI)-based solution approach to deter

The increasingly congested and contested space domain, especially in low Earth orbit (LEO), necessitates in-space object identification and association for improved Space Domain Awareness (SDA) of the location, status, and condition of resident space obje

The Air Force and other DoD agencies currently administer BFI Personality Tests to new recruits and other personnel through the Tailored Adaptive Personality Assessment System (TAPAS) to assess their personality and motivation and to predict their perform
