Add ABoth high frequency and mean measurements of pressure, temperature and heat flux are needed to interrogate the flowfield around any hypersonic article tested in an arcjet facility. Composite hot structures, for aerospace/hypersonic applications, are

Cyber-attacks have become an increasingly growing problem and are difficult to address using traditional risk management strategies. Factors such as the immense size of cyberspace, variety of forms malware can take, and the ever-evolving nature of threat

Volume Independent Analytics for Discovery of Unseen Correlations via Tensors (VIADUCT) introduces an unsupervised learning technique suitable for discovering previously unknown patterns-of-life and patterns-of-activity in multi-INT Big Data. This effort

Production of hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN) and hydroxyethyl hydrazine nitrate (HEHN) is of great concern for the manufacture of AF-315E. Current stockpiles of heritage ingredients held by AFRL are being depleted and those manufacturers are no longer in exi

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) can provide electronic system designs with a high degree of relatively inexpensive customization. Unfortunately, the highest density fabrication facilities are located overseas in untrusted facilities. This prevents

Current and future explosive munition weapon systems development relies heavily on explosives detonation performance characterization and computational hydro-code simulation research conducted by DoD and DoE research communities. This work in turn relies

Corrosion damage to aircraft and support equipment results when structures and components are exposed to the highly variable conditions found in the atmospheric environment. Washing processes are essential to removing contaminants deposited from the atmo

We propose to leverage additive manufacturings inherent advantages to produce freeform optical blanks for infrared (IR) applications. Using additive manufacturing has the very real possibility of greatly reducing the time of manufacturing freeform opti

Todays Air Force environment is moving toward unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) that are smaller and have requirements for operating in and near hostile A2/AD environments. Autonomous systems provide a considerable opportunity to reduce costs, enhance capab

There is a DoD need for the development of robust sensors to obtain temporally and spatially resolved surface temperature and heat flux measurements on test articles in blowdown and continuous hypersonic wind tunnels. These micro-heat flux sensors are required in order to better understand the state of the boundary layer of a hypersonic vehicle; to better understand boundary layer instabilities; a ...
