Adaptive Materials intends to leverage its Phase I design work and previous microtubule SOFC development success to develop and demonstrate a soldier portable 150 watt SOFC system with a minimum specific energy of 1,500 Whr/kg. We believe the solid oxide fuel cell technology recently demonstrated by Adaptive Materials offers a potential 21st century power source solution. Our miniature solid o ...

In this SBIR project, we propose the concept of an integrated simulation environment for mixed analysis of electromagnetic structures and electrical circuits. The proposed framework not only provides a unified user interface for simulations of different type (EM and circuit), but it also creates a self-consistent conduit for hybrid electromagnetic simulations using different types of numerical tec ...

In this Phase I Small Business Innovation Research project, we propose to investigate and adapt a number of recently developed ultra-compact and wideband planar antenna designs for a VHF Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) application. The antenna is intended to be mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and should cover the 20-90 MHz band. A reconfigurable antenna architecture using a switching ne ...

This project will produce a Multitask Training-Game Engine Component (MT-GEC) that can be used for developing Vision Centered-Multitask Training Environments (VC-MTEs). The game engine component will support routine development of scalable, 3D training applications that use metrics based on workload, interaction events, and simulation state to focus training activities at measured deficiencies. T ...

Quantum cryptography will likely play a key role in the future of secure communications. An effective Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system is the central requirement for a successful quantum cryptographic system. Current QKD systems use a limited and incomplete set of standards to define the interfaces between the quantum system components and the necessary digital components and networks. Thi ...
