Monoclinic -Ga2O3 has recently emerged as a promising material for ultrawide bandgap electronics for next-generation high voltage lateral and vertical power switching devices, thanks to its large bandgap (4.9eV), high critical breakdown field (8MV

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

The current surface activation process used to activate the surface of landing gear parts uses an aggressive grit blasting technique prior to electroplating. This technique is effective, but requires large amounts of blast media, requires a pre-cleaned surface and the process removes up to 0.1mils of substrate, much more than necessary. There is an urgent need for a process that can easily and eff ...

Classical approaches to aircrew training are characterized by several shortcomings, including high costs and lack of realism. These issues have motivated the desire to advance the state-of-the-art in virtual aerial refueling training environments. Such an advance has the potential to provide a cost-effective way of introducing a more realistic environment in performing repetition training. A vi ...

Bennett Advanced Research proposes to examine fundamental properties of adaptive materials for use with Additive Manufacturing technologies. The focus will be on developing a system for spacecraft Self Health Monitoring (SHM).

Embedded computers are found in many military, industrial, and consumer system radio systems.These computer controlled communications enable modern US Military doctrine.The security of these communication systems is traditionally provided through the

Vadum will develop a power-efficient, scalable, 10kW peak pulsed L-band solid state power amplifier (SSPA) based on Gallium Nitride (GaN) that will deliver superior performance for ground-based early warning air defense radar systems. The distributed PA

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

Existing and future air platforms require smaller and lighter munitions with enhanced lethality and greater operational flexibility. Asymmetric shock propagation barriers (ASPB) provide a means of integrating multiple activation modes and selectable ene

Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) due to consumption of contaminated shellfish is an increasing problem is the coastal waters of the United States, particularly in New England and the Pacific Ocean. The symptoms of PSP include vomiting, diarrhea, shortness of breath, confusion, and loss of coordination in both marine animals and humans. In severe cases, PSP toxins can cause respiratory failure a ...
