Propagation Research Associates, Inc., (PRA) proposes to develop an Electronic Protection (EP) capability for ground based radar that will mitigate both coherent and noise jammers. For the Phase II effort, PRA proposes to develop a combination of waveforms and beamforming techniques that will mitigate coherent repeater jamming. The purpose of Phase II is two-fold –1) to fabricate and demonstra ...

Future multiband communications systems demand frequency agile filters. While such devices are available at millimeter wave, they suffer from large size and high cost, among others. For this STTR Phase II effort, nGimat, working with Georgia Tech, will develop a miniaturized, low-loss, tunable Ka-band bandpass filter using its low-cost tunable thin film technology. In Phase I, nGimat has succes ...

The proposing team will continue the development, testing, and productization of a Small, Image-aided Navigation and Autonomous Path-planning System (SINAPS) for UAVs. The SINAPS utilizes a capable suite of sensors together with state-of-the-art computing to enable real-time autonomous sensing and maneuvering at high speeds even in obstacle-rich environments. Due to the limitations and power req ...

Propagation Research Associates, Inc. (PRA) applied two technologies developed on previous SBIR contracts to develop a Phase I design for a battlefield platform position and orientation determination system. The PRA Precision Pulse Positioning System (3PS) technology provides precise near-instantaneous position estimates of antennas located on battlefield platforms and the PRA Polarimeter technol ...

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.

RNI proposed a unique integrated 3D solution to this problem, an innovative effort to design, develop and demonstrate an Embedded AAR System by integrating commercially available components. The innovative system performs bridging between virtual and live networks and allows the use of COTS man-machine interface devices and technologies. These technologies allow the participants (trainee, comman ...

Transforming the military into a sophisticated, lighter force able to mobilize quickly in response to crises around the world requires technological advancement in the production and distribution of drinking water. Recent Operation evaluations for both bottled water and bulk water use indicates that significant improvements in safety, cost, taste, distribution, and security are required to meet th ...

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 ...

Combustion powered actuation (COMPACT) is a flow control technology developed at Georgia Tech which utilizes a miniature combustion chamber (cubic centimeter scale) to produce high-speed pulsed jets suitable for aerodynamic flow control (separation control, drag reduction, shock control, etc.) at transonic or supersonic speeds. The system is lightweight, can be operated with passive fluidic valve ...

Given the importance of composite repair to new aircraft like the F/A-22 and F-35 this SBIR research will provide significant improvement to the warfighter. The development of a powder resin, and dry fabric/Uni repair process that does not require freezer stored materials (room temperature storage), only typical vacuum bag and heat blanket. In phase 1 at the direction of the Air Force customer, ...
