A Novel Coverglass System with Enhanced Radiation Resistance
SBC: Infoscitex Corporation Topic: AF04029The Foster-Miller team is developing a novel coverglass system that protects photovoltaic cells on space power systems that are exposed to high doses of ionizing radiation. The spectrum of radiation a solar cell is exposed to not only provides usable energy, over time it also reduces the efficiency of the cell by darkening the barrier coverglass, escalates the operating temperature, and deteriora ...

Bayesian Troop-Target Detection, Tracking, and Prediction Using FOPEN-GMTI Radar
SBC: SCIENTIFIC SYSTEMS CO INC Topic: SB041024The "troop-target" problem of automatic detection, tracking, and prediction of the formations of dismounted ground troops concealed in foliage, using FOPEN-GMTI radars introduces challenges well beyond those encountered in more conventional group-target problems. AD HOC troop formations are considerably more amorphous and unpredictable and they must be deduced from the constituent individuals. Y ...

Long-Duration, Eye-in-the-Sky Monitoring for Airfield Threat Detection
SBC: Defense Research Associates, Inc. Topic: AF06204In today’s Urban-Warfare Command and Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C2ISR) environment, current sensor platforms have a limited operational capability due to power consumption and recharge times. Many times these sensor packages are found to be unsuitable for many battlefield environments due strictly to their endurance limitations. Much of the research done to date has ...

Affordable Accurate Robot Guidance (AARG)
SBC: Variation Reduction Solutions Inc Topic: AF091C001The authors establish a novel metrology system capable of determining the pose of a robotically-mounted End of Arm Tool (EOAT) in Six Degrees of Freedom (6-DOF) to a capability better than True Position (TP) 0.010 in. The metrology system consists of low-cost, modular components in the form of motorized gimbals that steer laser beams onto robot-affixed, photosensitive chips typical of those found ...

Panel Step/Gap Mismatch Measurement
SBC: TeraMetrix, LLC Topic: AF082C001In phase II we will develop a prototype TD-THz step/gap mismatch measurement system. This system will be able to measure the sub-surface ground-plane step and gap dimensions on the seams of panels on the F-35 aircraft. In phase I, we demonstrated the ability of the TD-THz method to measure the dimensions of the ground-plane step and gap through otherwise opaque boots and coatings. The first app ...
