Machine Learning of Part Variability for Predictive Maintenance
SBC: EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN & ANALYSIS SOLUTIONS, INC. Topic: AF20ATCSO1High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) characterization and maintenance accounts for a significant portion of the overall life cycle cost of most military propulsion systems. A key variable that drives HCF margin is dynamic response which is directly related to the geometry of each part. This is especially true of integrally bladed rotors (IBRs, or blisks). It has been well established that HCF is a proba ...

Assembly of Topological Qubits into a Register
SBC: STREAMLINE AUTOMATION LLC Topic: AF19CT010Quantum information technology will become a key enabler of future Air Force superiority. Topological insulator qubits are inherently stable and fault-tolerant because they exploit local topological symmetries and global boundary conditions of chalcogenide materials to yield unique, emergent quantum cooperative states. Wake Forest University and Streamline Automation have been working collaborativ ...

Advanced Measurement Capability of Turbine Engine Exhaust and Jet Flows through Non-intrusive Methods
SBC: NON-CONTACT TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: AF19CT010Advanced Air Force turbine engines with integrated engine exhaust systems require diagnostic flow measurements. Integration of these systems into altitude test cells creates problems with T&E requirements such as impingement problems, exhaust cooling spray blowback, acoustic emission issues and limited space for measurement systems. Propulsion system analysts need better understanding of low aspec ...

Satellite Constellations for Entanglement-Based Time Distribution
SBC: Xairos Systems, Inc. Topic: AF20AT001This project examines the feasibility of using a space-based quantum network for secure and accurate time transfer. The design and analysis of a space based quantum network that can support time transfer is expected to show that a relatively small modification of the current designs for quantum payloads could provide large benefits in the form of a highly accurate, non-spoofable time transfer inf ...

Robust and portable optical oscillators with 10^-15-level stability
SBC: STABLE LASER SYSTEMS INC Topic: AF20AT001We propose to develop optical oscillators with instabilities in the 10^-15 decade suitable for a range of out-of-the-laboratory applications, including remotely located stations, moving vehicles and space platforms. Cavity-stabilized optical oscillators provide orders-of-magnitude better stability than current rf and microwave oscillators, and are essential for optical atomic clocks. However, they ...

Robust and low-SWaP Laser Sources for Optical Atomic Clocks
SBC: STABLE LASER SYSTEMS INC Topic: AF20AT001This proposal will develop a monolithic, robust, low size, weight and power, 1 GHz repetition rate femtosecond oscillator and frequency comb for microwave generation from optical atomic clocks. The oscillator has been tested in the laboratory, being constructed using prototype bonding methods. The results have been exceptional with low phase noise, long lock times with low bandwidth control loo ...
