Development of Hydrocarbon-Based Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs)
SBC: Functional Coating Technology, LLC Topic: AF06164We have recently demonstrated that high power densities can be achieved for SOFC using liquid hydrocarbon fuels via direct internal reforming. This approach can provide solutions for the highly power-dense applications required by Air Force (e.g. auxiliary power units for aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles) and many portable and transportation applications in commercial sector. Because the sta ...

Protective Coating for Large-Diameter Bearing Races
SBC: ARCOMAC SURFACE ENGINEERING, LLC Topic: AF06088Critical large bearings in the F-35 thrust vector system must operate with absolute reliability under high loads, high heat and corrosive attack from salt air and fluorinated lubricant at elevated temperatures. A unique patented Filtered Arc Plasma Source Ion Deposition (FAPSID) process developed by Arcomac Surface Engineering will deposit an atomically bonded, multiple layered, integrated coatin ...

Self-Healing Adhesives and Composites for Aerospace Systems
SBC: CU AEROSPACE L.L.C. Topic: AF06T025Self-healing composites and adhesives would alleviate longstanding problems in aerospace structures associated with multiple types of damage mechanisms such as mechanical/thermal fatigue, microcracking, and debonding. A composite cryogenic tank based on self-healing technology would prevent leakage by sealing microcracks throughout the lifetime of the tank and enable the use of composites in this ...

High-Efficiency Compact Toroidal Plasma Acceleration Using Annular Helicon Pre-Ionization For High-Power, High-Specific Impulse Electric Space Propuls
SBC: STARFIRE INDUSTRIES LLC Topic: AF06T001Electromagnetic propulsion using compact toroidal plasmas is ideal for high-thrust, high-Isp missions since velocities and densities are not space charge limited, the self-field structure does not suffer magnetic detachment problems and the inductive electrode-less nature has superior lifetime. This STTR builds on a long history of research by integrating an annular helicon source with a conical ...

Innovative Structural Joining Concepts and Analysis Techniques
SBC: Technova Corporation Topic: AF06234A new joining principle is proposed where a massive number of physical and mechanical bonds between responsive nanostructured constituents bridge the (rough) joining surfaces. Recent advances in nanostructured materials, linked supramolecular systems and directed self-assembly techniques provide the technological basis for developemnt of the proposed joining mechanism. The new joining principle ...

Development of commercially useable codes to simulate aluminized propellant combustion, and related issues
SBC: BUCKMASTER RESEARCH Topic: AF06T012We propose to examine the necessary ingredients for the development of marketable codes which will: model the morphology of heterogeneous propellants (a packing code); calculate the thermal and mechancial properties of such a morphology or pack; simulate the combustion of the pack; predict the statistics of aluminum agglomeration on the burning pack surface; simulate the flight of these agglomera ...

Sensing of Upper Atmosphere
SBC: ANASPHERE, INC Topic: AF06246Accurate observations and forecasts of meteorological conditions in the battlespace are of extreme importance to the most effective employment of military assets. In many instances, it is not possible to gather in-situ meteorological data by routine means such as sounding balloons carrying radiosondes. There is a need to provide a means by which such data may be gathered with the requisite accur ...

Terahertz Imaging Detection of Delamination and Water Intrusion
SBC: TeraMetrix, LLC Topic: AF06346We propose to demonstrate the feasibility of using time domain Terahertz (THz) measurements to locate and identify defects such as delaminations and water intrusion in advanced composite materials used in ground based radome panels, shelters and towers. We will investigate the ability of terahertz measurements, both with time domain and Fourier domain (i.e., spectroscopy) analysis, to detect defec ...

Innovative Measurement Approaches for Harsh, Chemically Reacting Environments
SBC: INDUSTRIAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INC Topic: AF06T009In this proposal we exploit the remote sensing attributes of ultrasound to measure temperature, transient temperature and heat flux in liquid rocket combustion chambers. In previous work, we have demonstrated the capability to measure the local temperature at the inner surface of large caliber Navy guns using sensors attached to the external gun barrel surface (2.5” from the measurement point). ...

Sense and Control for Efficient Aerostructure
SBC: FLEXSYS INC Topic: AF06236SensorCraft and other endurance vehicles are prone to performance degradation when the flow over the airfoil trailing edge separates due to gusts, high angle of attack maneuvers, or trailing edge flap deflections which push the limits of laminar airfoil lift production. FlexSys has already developed adaptive trailing edge devices under previous and ongoing AFRL contracts including one for the HiL ...
