The objective of this effort is to continue the development of a dual-color MWIR display suitable for use in IR scene projection using a combination of quantum dot (QD) technology and commercial LCD displays. More efficient MWIR emitting core/shell QDs will be developed and fine-tuned during Phase II. The MWIR QDs will be deposited and patterned on a substrate to form 2-color subpixel arrays and t ...

Vlabs will develop a prototype of a big data analytics solution for cyber threat intelligence. The solution will be built on top of a big data platform with a goal to improve detection of complex adversarial behaviors. The system will analyze various data sources stored in a scalable data lake. Vlabs is well positioned to perform this work from the extensive experience in big data analytics and th ...

The proposed innovation will prove the feasibility of developing a spectral tunable and polarization sensitive quantum dot (QD) based detector for the 2-14 micron range. The aim is to satisfy the U.S. Air Force (USAF) requirements for passive spectral and polarization sensing in the infrared range without external filtering components and polarizers. The approach is to start with a bias selectable ...

RNI with team member Technical Solutions, Inc. (TSI/TERI) is proposing a unique integrated solution to this problem. An innovative effort to design, develop and demonstrate Multi-Modal Interfaces for Synthetic Training Environments for effective training. The system will allow live humans as team or squad leaders to utilize a suite of interface devices to control and interact with automated forc ...

Virtual Aerosurface Technologies, Inc. in collaboration with Georgia Tech proposes a Phase II SBIR program for the adaptation of combustion powered actuation (COMPACT) actuators to the task of fuselage drag reduction on rotorcraft. COMPACT uses a small-scale combustion process to produce pulsed jets with a wide range of strengths and has demonstrated capability to reattach separated flows over ai ...

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 ...

In these times of increasing deficits and limited budgets, the Office of the Secretary of Defense is using the idea of Capability-Based Acquisitions. This concept limits spending by focusing investments only for key capabilities. With this concept, Research and Development at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) now also needs to be such that funding is focused on R&D that supports these key ...

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 ...
