FADEC Cooling Using High Temperature Loop Heat Pipes
SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: AF073049The Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) controls engine operation. It is historically mounted on the engine case to minimize the routing length of the sensor and actuator wiring. The FADEC must be maintained below 70°C, while the environment can be as hot as 170°C. The current design uses fuel to cool the FADEC, however, this often limits the allowable ground or flight idle time ...

Protecting Polymers from the Natural Space Environment with Films Grown Using Atomic Layer Deposition
SBC: ALD NANOSOLUTIONS, INC Topic: AF07T011Polymers in space are subjected to various threats including hyperthermal oxygen atoms, UV and VUV photons, and ions. These threats can degrade the polymer and lead to static charge accumulation. This Phase II proposal will build on the Phase I work which demonstrated that inorganic films grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) can protect polymers such as Kapton, Teflon and PMMA. Al2O3 ALD f ...

Integrally Bladed Rotor (IBR) Maintenance and Life Management
SBC: BLADE DIAGNOSTICS CORPORATION Topic: AF081056BDC is developing a process called SMART BLEND(TM) for inspecting blended IBRs/Blisks. IBRs are susceptible to foreign object damage and blending is a relatively low cost method using machining to repair that damage. The difficulty is that blending changes the geometries of the blades so that they no longer meet specifications. More specifically, blending changes the frequencies of the blades ...

Platform for Ultracold Atom Inertial Sensor Development
SBC: COLDQUANTA, INC. Topic: AF07T024This work proposes to develop two critical subsystems and a rotation platform designed to enable ultracold atom inertial sensing research and development, with emphasis on rotation sensing (gyroscopes) for navigation, geolocation, mapping, and similar tasks. The two subsystems presented here, the computer control and interface subsystem, and the integrated atom chip power source/current driver s ...

Enhanced Acoustical Environment for Modern Weapons Bays
SBC: COMBUSTION RESEARCH & FLOW TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: AF073087The F-35 main weapons bay experiences severe acoustic loading when exposed to the freestream. The severity and attenuation of this loading is exacerbated by the very complex geometry of the weapons bay and the highly non-uniform approach flow. This extremely harsh aeroacoustic environment can also impact components that are mounted within the bay itself, including carriage stores that contain sens ...

Adaptive Structures for Micro Munition Platforms
SBC: COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT, INC. Topic: AF081050The U.S. Air Force has significant interest in the development of adaptive structures for micro munition platforms. However, power, mass and cost constraints significantly limits the applicability of existing adaptive structure concepts for these smaller platforms. To address these challenges, CTD is proposing the use of solid-state, electrically-driven actuators that require minimal power and ...

Passively Deployed Lightweight Solar Array Structure for Thinned-Multijunction Solar Cells
SBC: COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT, INC. Topic: AF081092Current deployable solar array systems are based on designs that have been in existence for more than 30 years. In general, these heritage designs can be divided into two classes: 1) hinged-panel arrays, which are mechanically simple but mass inefficient, and 2) tensioned-membrane arrays, which are mechanically complex but mass efficient. Arguably, no deployable solar array designs exist that ...

Distributed Satellite Resource Management for Defensive Counterspace
SBC: DATA FUSION & NEURAL NETWORKS, LLC Topic: AF081090The DF&NN team will integrate Space Situational Awareness (SSA) & Defensive Space Control (DSC) R&D based upon the DF&NN Dual Node Network DF&RM technical architecture. The DF&NN subcontractor Modern Technology Solutions Inc (MTSI) brings extensive operations experience to define relevant needs. We will focus on six problem areas: 1. Space Environment SSA/DSC: How to fuse space weather, BFS/SAS, a ...

An Improved Non-Wood Wheel Chock Design for USAF Operational Aircraft
SBC: RIMSTAR Topic: AF071309The currently accepted aircraft wheel chock in use at most USAF and other military facilities is made of wood which routinely chips, cracks, becomes waterlogged and requires significant maintenance such as refurbishment and painting. In this Phase II SBIR project. Rimstar, Inc, and its sister company, Checkers Industrial Safety Products will design a non-wood wheel chock that will overcome these ...

Cryogenic High Power Laser Pump Diodes
SBC: DIRECTED ENERGY SOLUTIONS Topic: AF073003ABSTRACT: Directed Energy Solutions (DES) is proposing to develop a cryogenically cooled diode laser stack system. In the proposed effort DES will design, fabricate, test and delivery a cryogenically cooled multiple diode laser stack system. Output powers of the laser system of 6 kW are anticipated with a scaling option at the 12 kW level. At the end of proposed effort the system will be deliv ...
