In this Phase II SBIR project, we will optimize the design and develop the growth processes and equipment to routinely produce large (through 150mm), high-quality, single-crystal cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe or CZT) bulk material suitable for the production of CZT substrates for producing larger and highest-performing long-wave infrared (LWIR) detector arrays. We are addressing these issues by i ...

MDA is interested in developing single mode high power diode lasers with excellent beam quality and high efficiency and coherently combine them for high power output and use the coherently combined modules to build high power direct diode laser (HPDDL) systems capable of achieving upwards of 10-100 kW (dependent on the beam combining technique) of high output power while maintaining the beam quali ...

Propose to investigate and develop, build and test an innovative communications system to provide continuous, high speed, in-flight communication links between a Ground Based Communication Antenna and Hypersonic Vehicles in flight through a plasma environment. Several approaches have been considered for mitigation, with varying degrees of success. We have investigated these and other alternatives ...

Many municipalities in the United States have begun to use impermeability measurements to incentivize storm water retention as part of the architectural and landscaping design process. These measurements are performed through analysis of high-resolution aerial photography and updated on an annual or semi-annual basis. The practice of using high resolution aerial or even satellite photography is pr ...

The decline of coral reefs can be feasibly reversed by introducing coral transplants that are stabilized via adhesion to substrates. An adhesive is under development to safely and economically improve the speed and success rate of stabilizing coral transplants. This adhesive comprises a bioactive inorganic and an organic polymer constituent that function synergistically to enable rapid and control ...

Structured Materials Industries wished to improved manufacturing cr ...

This research will develop a 128x128 detector element radiation hardened camera for spaced-based long range imaging. The detector array, readout integrated circuit (ROIC), and camera will be designed and built using radiation-hardened techniques and materials. Approved for Public Release | 19-MDA-10270 (18 Nov 19)

SciTec, Inc. has extensive experience developing robust, signature based autonomous exploitation capabilities for data collected from Electro-Optic/Infrared (EO/IR) systems. These signature based capabilities are typically robust because they exploit features with known causal relationships to threat characteristics and behavior, and because they are constructed using rigorous mathematical framewo ...
