Electronically Controlled Pneumatic Brake System Emulator Development
SBC: Sharma & Associates, Inc. Topic: 121FR2Migration of the vehicle fleet from the current, pneumatic-only, automatic air brake (AAB) system to ECP presents a significant challenge due to the systems’ inherent operational incompatibility. This project will investigate the feasibility of devices that can help to ease this transition by allowing ECP equipped cars to operate in a conventionally braked train, as well as devices to permit con ...

Improved Microcalorimeter Detectors for X-Ray Chemical Shift Mapping
SBC: STAR CRYOELECTRONICS, LLC Topic: N/AX-ray fluorescence spectroscopy is a widely used and extremely sensitive analytical technique for qualitative as well as quantitative chemical analysis. Superconducting Transition Edge Sensor (TES) microcalorimeter detectors have now been developed that achieve an energy resolution of 2 eV (full width at half maximum) for 1.5 keV X-rays, which is sufficient to enable the measurement of the small s ...

Unipolar nBn HgCdTe on Silicon for High Performance, Low Cost NIR/SWIR Imagers
SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: SOCOM12002We propose the development of a near infrared/shortwave infrared (NIR/SWIR) sensor based on mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe) in an n-type/barrier/n-type (nBn) architecture, designed for room-temperature operation in the 0.7 to 2.8µm NIR/SWIR spectral range. The sensor will compete as a low cost/high performance alternative to near infrared indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs)-based cameras by prov ...

Accurate Scene Generation Including Atmospheric Effects
SBC: MZA ASSOCIATES CORP Topic: MDA11001Accurate synthetic scene generation is a critical capability required to support sensor development, software and hardware in-the-loop testing and pre-flight test analysis. Current \acIR scene generation codes such as \acFLITES and its predecessor \acCHAMP are excellent tools for creating radiometrically accurate IR scenes including targets of various types. These tools, however, do not currentl ...

Smart Infrared Focal Plane Arrays and Advanced Electronics
SBC: Vega Technology & Systems Inc. Topic: MDA11005We propose a smart ROIC design where one ROIC unit cell may service two FPA unit cells instead of the normal one-to-one relationship. This proposed approach, supported by Lockheed Martin, is based on a novel dual pixel design that consists of using pairs of adjacent FPA pixels connected in a differential configuration. This unique design preserves the spatial resolution of the array while enabli ...

Line-Narrowed Diode Pump Sources for DPAL Systems
SBC: VEGA WAVE SYSTEMS INC Topic: MDA11007Laser diode arrays are a major component cost for advanced high-power laser systems such as the Diode-Pumped Alkali Laser, and numerous other military and industrial laser systems. The most critical design feature of diode pump arrays for Diode-Pumped Alkali Lasers is the wavelength match of the absorption line and the linewidth of the pump. The linewidth required for efficient pumping of alkali l ...

Reduction of surface leakage for high performance LWIR T2SL FPAs
SBC: MP Technologies, LLC Topic: MDA11019High performance infrared detectors in the LWIR regime are highly needed in a number of missile defense missions. In order to image targets from long distance, it is important that imagers have high sensitivity and high resolution. This leads to technical goals of having low noise, low dark current in small size pixels in large arrays. While saturated performance levels of traditional systems base ...
