_x000D_Currently available biomass heating/cooking stoves in Asia and in the USA do not efficiently cook food or heat houses while consuming too much fuel and emitting pollution, resulting in respiratory illnesses and premature death. ASAT specializes in the development and manufacturing of clean burning biomass stoves. In SBIR Phase I, ASAT developed a low emission, fuel efficient Integrated Heat ...

Guidestar is using digital holographic imaging to acquire the active tracking images in an air-to-air high energy laser weapon system. In this Phase II program, Guidestar will implement the algorithms developed in the Phase I program and demonstrate the ability of holographic tracking to improve tracking performance while simultaneously reducing the required illuminator power. The Phase II demon ...

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) platforms fit into the USAF Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance strategy by providing local persistence, operation in contested environments, and low probability of detection. SUAS gimbal performance is ty

The airborne tier of our militarys communications network plays a critical role in enabling real-time situational awareness, allowing warfighters to synchronize their operations both on and off the battlefield. As the number of users sharing broadband data grows, new technologies are required to mitigate radio frequency (RF) interference for airborne relays and network subscribers. A robust and un ...

Agile RF Systems LLC has baselined a low risk, high performance solution to realizing a multiple beam antenna (MBA) architecture at V/W band that substantially reduces physical integration complexity. The antenna architecture allows physical separation of transmit and receive feed networks using an innovative dichroic filter while achieving very high transmit to receive isolation. The assembly is ...

With hypersonic research becoming increasingly relevant, as viable technologies encroach on these speeds, heightened emphasis is being placed on effective methodologies of simulating hypersonic airflows. Specifically, Ludwieg Tubes have distinguished themselves as an effective and economical way to emulate hypersonic flow. In attempt to further increase their utility, researchers are seeking innov ...

The Interdisciplinary Consulting Corporation (IC2) in partnership with the University of Florida, proposes to develop and standardize a novel, high-frequency dynamic pressure sensor calibration method and system for sensors used in the measurement of high speed flows. The proposed innovation is a novel calibration method combined with modified and repurposed measurement hardware to enable calibra ...

To continue to provide our military a nighttime advantage, near-photon-counting passive-image sensors are required that detect very low signal levels, yet have the dynamic range to handle the large intrascene dynamic range of modern urban combat, nap-of-t

Trillium has recently demonstrated the capability to capture NIIRS 9 imagery including the ability to read a license plate from up to 1800 slant range in their 8 diameter HD80 gimbal. This proposal includes an effort to miniaturize Trilliums exi

The U.S. Air Force trains and educates a large and diverse workforce to meet requirements across a complex array of missions. Early-stage training in many Air Force Specialty Codes can consist of large corpora of foundational, static material, so training that motivates airmen is a necessary element in helping ensure a supply of qualified personnel in mission-critical areas like aerospace maintena ...
