Quantum Optical Semiconductor Chips and its Application to Quantum Communication
SBC: MAXXEN GROUP LLC Topic: N20AT005Current Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) technology is capable of quantum computing, however, its application is limited due to its large size, low-temperature refrigeration requirement, and high cost. Quantum optical semiconductor-scale chip technology is promising but not commercially available yet due to the multiple challenges to overcome. Using quantum photonic technology ...

Self-fragmenting Structural Reactive Materials (SF-SRM) for High Combustion Efficiency
SBC: MATSYS INCORPORATED Topic: DTRA16A002MATSYS proposes to develop, test and evaluate a scalable metal-based reactive structural material that will self-fragment to micron or sub-micron scale fuel particles when subjected to explosive shock loading, resulting in significantly enhanced metal combustion efficiency. Use of reactive material casings offers the potential for several-fold increases in blast and overpressure by generating rapi ...

Rapid Development of Weapon Payloads via Additive Manufacturing
SBC: MATSYS INCORPORATED Topic: DTRA16A001MATSYS proposes to adapt emerging additive manufacturing techniques (so-called 3-D Printing) for use with reactive structural materials and demonstrate this capability to rapidly fabricate reactive case. Our concept incorporates two major manufacturing steps: 3D printing of green compacts from pure Al or Al-based reactive powder blend; and Microwave (MW) sintering of green compacts into net-shaped ...

Fully Metallic Self-Fragmenting Structural Reactive Materials Using Composites and Alloys Comprised of Aluminum, Lithium, and Magnesium
SBC: Adranos Energetics LLC Topic: DTRA16A002While aluminum casing materials provide some enhanced performance and thermal loading to explosive ordinance, their overall effectiveness is highly limited by incomplete combustion and long residence times. In order to reduce these problems, the casing material must be designed to facilitate rapid fragmentation through either specialized casing geometries or greatly refined initial particle sizes. ...

Indicator Yarns to Detect Degradation in Nylon Webbing
SBC: NANOSONIC INC. Topic: N19BT032Nylon webbing is used for the load bearing elements in the parachute system - harnesses and risers, and degrades with use, depending on environmental conditions and frequency of use. The environmental factor that causes the most degradation of polymers in webbing is ultraviolet (UV) irradiation; this factor, combined with repeated mechanical strain, can accelerate degradation to a point where the ...
