Innovative Advanced Materials (IAM), Inc., founded by MBE expert Dr. W. Alan Doolittle, has developed a new generation of MBE tools with revolutionary capability and remarkably lower cost than legacy tools and proposes to construct a prototype tool to demonstrate its power. The prototype tool will be delivered to AFRL for use in the growth of Gallium Oxide shattering current technical roadblocks c ...

The objective for this effort is to leverage the data mining capability of the PMESII Workbench to enhance SSOTT. In collaboration with the Army Research Lab (ARL), SSOTT was designed to provide Joint users with a rich operational training capability that promotes train the way we fight by helping users perform critical thinking about the second and third order effects that are essential to solvin ...

The scope of this work includes design, analysis, manufacturing, integration, and test of the GO1 hypersonic flight test platform. The Contractor shall complete design of the system, qualify the system for flight through ground testing, and validate the f

Global Technology Connection, Inc. in collaboration with their academic and industrial partners proposes a prognostic scheduling architecture called Scheduling Algorithms for Maintenance using Prognostic Life Estimates (SAMPLE) to address unschedule

As the need for engaging targets in difficult environments grows, ultra-wideband and structurally integrated antenna architectures have gained interest. However, these antenna architectures must conform to the limited size and overall outer-mold line of the weapon platforms. Next-generation seekers must perform frequency agile radar and communication waveforms, which will require ultra-wideband ap ...

ALAE proposes to develop a reconfigurable test adapter (RTA) that adapts differences between existing automated test equipment/ systems (ATE/ ATS) to ensure efficient, cost-effective test program set (TPS) transportability. Wiring from core versatile depot automated test station (VDATS) instrumentation will be routed to the RTA. Various standard unit under test (UUT) interfaces will be explored an ...

The ability to accurately machine nickel-based alloys and other hard materials is critical to the manufacture of Army weapons such as mortar tubes, and electrochemical machining (ECM) is often the best, or only, option. The primary drawback of ECM is designing ECM tools. Tool design is extremely complex because the shape of the machined workpiece depends on tool shape, electrolyte and material ele ...

Cermet, Inc in collaboration with Georgia Institute of Technology proposes to develop spin Light Emitting Diode (LED) in a 24 month Phase II program. The spin LED is a simple yet powerful spintronic device that produces circularly polarized light and is a potent tool to quantify the spin injection efficiency and spin polarization efficiency.

The goal of this program is to develop ZnO based light emitters fabricated on high quality ZnO bulk substrates. The work will focus on enhance doping of the active layers, target alloy concentrations and prototype emitter fabrication.

nGimat Co., in collaboration with the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the Wright-Patterson AFB Air Force Research Laboratory, proposes to develop a fuel injection method and advanced numerical simulation tools for injection of fuel at supercritical conditions in aero-propulsion combustors. This project is designed to accelerate understanding and commercialization of transcritical and supercr ...
