Novel Engine Cycles for Booster Stage Liquid Rocket Engines
SBC: BLAZETECH CORPORATION Topic: AF181030The Air Force wants to develop novel cycles for liquid rocket engines that either exceed the performance of modern pressure-fed, expander, or gas generator cycles, and provides an overall system benefit such as reduced complexity or lower cost. In Phase I, we propose to compare quantitatively the thermodynamic cycles of a Rotating Detonation Engine with that of a conventional constant pressure com ...

Structural Nuclear Effect Mitigation of Composite Aeroshells for Munitions for Air Platforms and Cruise Missile Systems
SBC: Conductive Composites Company, L.L.C. Topic: AF181048Next generation munition systems must be capable of mitigating a multitude of threats including ionizing nuclear radiation (i.e. X-ray, gamma, and neutron), electromagnetic threats, high-temperature environments, and other countermeasures such as high-power microwave (HPM). Conductive Composites Company (CCC) has a unique understanding of the problem and has spent the past three decades developing ...

High Speed Positive Displacement Injector for Rate Shaping Direct Injection
SBC: BUSEK CO., INC. Topic: AF181032When internal combustion engines are converted to heavy hydrocarbon fuels, such as JP-8, they become prone to knock, which reduces power and shortens engine life.One method for avoiding engine knock is establishing stratified fuel/air charges within the cylinder, where near stoichiometric mixtures are retained in proximity to the point of ignition and lean elsewhere.However, generating stratified ...

Safe, Large-Format Lithium-ion (Li-ion) Batteries for ICBMs
SBC: BELMONT SCIENTIFIC, INC. Topic: AF181046Lithium ion batteries are being used extensively in several areas including the USAF ICBM due to their high energy density, reliability and performance. The high energy density also poses unique challenges such as fires and explosions. Failure in a single cell can rapidly spread tothe battery pack compromising the entire operation and personnel safety. We propose the development of a large format ...

Thermographic NDE of Bond Interface Integrity in Thermal Spray Coating
SBC: THERMAL WAVE IMAGING INC Topic: AF181049In Phase I of this SBIR project, we will determine the feasibility of a novel approach to active thermography for quantitative NDE of both thermal and cold spray coatings used in manufacture, maintenance and repair of hot section components. Our approach, Active Interleaved Thermography (AIT) builds on our extensive experience in NDE of Aerospace and Industrial Gas Turbine (IGT) TBCs, and leverage ...

Non-Destructive Evaluation of Thermal Spray Coatings Using Ultra-High Frequency Micro-Induction Inspection Technology
SBC: GRID LOGIC INCORPORATED Topic: AF181049The U.S. Air Force needs to non-destructively and easily inspect thermal spray metallic and ceramic thermal spray coatings on critical surfaces of gas turbines. Current methods fail to adequately detect sub-surface and interfacial defects, and are cumbersome to use, particularly with conformal geometries.Issues exist with capturing accurate measurements over a range of coating and substrate materi ...

Rapid composition verification of interface composites on large fabric areas
SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC. Topic: AF181052Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) require submicron coatings on the reinforcing fibers to achieve the desired strength and toughness for application in jet engines. These coatings are a critical component of the CMCs, but current generation evaluation methods like scanning electron microscopy and Auger depth profiling are slow, sample only small areas, and are destructive. Confocal Scanning Raman M ...

Multi-Source Relational Situational Intelligence (MRSI)
SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC. Topic: AF181024Timely and effective decision making to best protect and employ our space-based resources in complex evolving situations depends on rapid and perceptive multi-INT space situational awareness (SSA) in support of Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2). To achieve satisfactory SSA, the space community is increasingly turning to machine learning (ML) technology enabled by rapidly growing computi ...

An Optimized Personal Area Network (PAN) for Battlefield Airmen
SBC: HUMAN SYSTEMS INTEGRATION INC Topic: AF181023Todays Warfighter has an increasingly complex assortment of electronic devices available to him, such as End User Devices (EUDs), radios, GPS, video downlinks (VDLs), and laser range finders (LRFs). While the addition of these devices can significantly augment the Warfighter mission, the integration of multiple devices presents a very significant human-machine interface and human factors challenge ...

High-Frequency Ionospheric Visualization Environment (High-FIVE)
SBC: Systems & Technology Research LLC Topic: AF181022During the Phase I effort, we propose to develop algorithms and a prototype visualization tool to display point-to-point and point-to-area HF propagation parameters relevant to HF communications, including number of modes, mode attenuation, mode delay, etc. using a near-real-time ionospheric model updated with publicly available ionosphere/beacon data and a 3D magneto-iono ray tracer.We will also ...
