Low-Cost Chaos Radar
SBC: PROPAGATION RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC Topic: A11aT001Propagation Research Associates, Inc., (PRA) and Duke University propose to extend the recent developments of matched filtered chaos into a low-cost high range-resolution chaotic waveform radar. In the Phase I effort, PRA and Duke will design the radar system and build a prototype waveform generator that will exploit three essential properties of chaotic waveforms that can be applied to enhance r ...

Matched Filter Chaos Communications
SBC: Scieval LLC Topic: A11aT002The use of chaotic hybrid systems has been recently demonstrated in for potential noise-resilient matched-filter communications. A first demonstration at low (audio) frequencies using a combination of analog and digital components has been demonstrated. With this proposal, our objective is to devise a"chaos-on-a-chip"system that can exhibit similar features to those in while operating in the range ...

TerrAdapt: A system for autonomous terrain classification and terrain-adaptive driving
SBC: Quantum Signal LLC Topic: A11aT033The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Quantum Signal LLC propose to research and develop the TerrAdapt system for terrain classification and vehicle driving control. This work will result in fundamental research advances, but will be practical enough for application on today"s COTS vehicle platforms. The system will maximize vehicle mobility due to the following key features: 1) TerrAdap ...

Infrared Metamaterials for Emission Phase Control
SBC: PLASMONICS INC Topic: AF10BT30ABSTRACT: Electromagnetically-resonating infrared metamaterial elements may be used to control the phase of emitted radiation across a planar surface. Such a coated surface can be designed to produce a highly directional emitted wavefront from a large aperture high-angular-resolution array. Active angular control may be achieved using electronically-tunable metamaterial elements. Like all phased- ...

Ultra-High Surface Area Architecture for Thermal Energy Storage
SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP Topic: AF10BT32ABSTRACT: The Air Force is currently seeking improvements in capacity and responsiveness of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems. Current research and development with Phase Change Materials (PCM) in carbon foam and pelletization of metal (i.e. copper) encapsulated metal hydrides seek to overcome these limitations by increasing the thermal conductivity (i.e. copper, carbon) while also increasing ...

Tunable Fresnel-Zone Lens for Agile Wavefront Control
SBC: PLASMONICS INC Topic: AF10BT35ABSTRACT: Fresnel-zone lens can meet many of the Air Force's requirements for conformal aperture technology including light-weight, large aperture size, and the ability to conform to a curved surface. However, aberrations limit the effective field-of-view of static Fresnel-zone lens, and the spectral performance is limited to a narrow band. A tunable Fresnel-zone lens with variable-zone-radi ...

Compact, Low Cost, High-Resolution Spectrometers
SBC: LRC Engineering Inc. Topic: AF10BT39ABSTRACT: This Phase I STTR effort will demonstrate an ultra-compact, lightweight spectrometer with no moving parts for the mid-infrared wavelength region. The planar integrated device will feature bound electromagnetic waves, known as surface plasmon polaritons, in the mid-IR spectral region. This range is ideal for chemical identification based on the vibrational spectra known for most molecu ...

Design Automation Software for DNA-Based Nano-Sensor Architectures
SBC: FIREBIRD BIOMOLECULAR SCIENCES LLC Topic: OSD10T003Because of chemical behaviors of real DNA molecules, the nanotechnology envisioned by the Defense Department in this Solicitation will be possible only if design automation software creates nanostructures that exploit artificially expanded genetic information systems (AEGIS). AEGIS DNA molecules have more than the four nucleotides (GACT) found in natural DNA. Our software will accommodate nanoarc ...
