In this effort, nGimat will develop the capabilities to produce high-quality optical ceramic nanopowder for DoD applications such as laser and missile weapons and defense systems.Development of such capabilities will require improvements in current man...

ABSTRACT:We propose the development of broadband high operating temperature two-color focal plane arrays (FPAs) that will allow simultaneous detection of radiation in the visible and infrared bands from the same target points. The first band will cover the 400 nm to 4 micron wavelength range and will be based on double layer planar heterostructures technology. The backside illuminated array will h ...

ABSTRACT: Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop a single-photon source based on a diamond nano-crystal coupled to a micro-cavity. Defects in crystalline diamond have demonstrated excellent single photon properties with g^(2)(0) < 0.02. Our diamond nano-crystal will produce single photons in the near-visible transparency windows. By coupling a single nano-crystal to an optical micro-cavi ...

Pulsed voltammetry is a characterization tool for electrochemical systems that has been around for many decades. Unlike the more commonly used cyclic voltammetry techniques, the additional degrees of freedom intrinsic to pulsed voltammetry techniques permit the decoupling of reaction kinetics from diffusion, and allow for the precise measurement of a range of reaction parameters, including the hal ...

Non-traditional interior roof military vehicle impact injury prevention technologies address the challenge to provide warfighter survivability, allowing them to complete their mission, by preventing impact related injuries such as skull fractures and neck injuries, otherwise incurred during underbody blast, crash and rollover events. The solution accounts for the full range of occupants to include ...

Virtual EM Inc. is proposing to develop scalable libraries optimized on Many Integrated Core (MIC) processors for accelerating Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes. The proposed approach is based on Virtual EMs past work on accelerating Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) codes using MICs processors. The result will be a substantial reduction in run time of Armys CFD codes accelerating develo ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a novel process of fabricating components in a layer-by-layer method under the control of computer-aided design (CAD) information, rather than by the traditional use of casting molds and forming dies. Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) methodologies are effective tools to reconfigure the materials development process and accelerate implementation o ...

We present a concept for improving standoff ground penetrating radar capabilities for detecting buried explosive hazards (BEH). Currently, standoff detection capabilities are limited to forward looking systems, which provide limited penetration of the ground surface due to the low grazing angle required for forward looking standoff detection. Additionally, forward looking arrays are somewhat limit ...

ABSTRACT: The goal of the Phase II work is to significantly advance the maturity of the IMPULSE system through the detail design, development, and comprehensive bench testing of its power and propulsion systems. The Phase I conceptual design showed that the system was able to meet the desired performance requirements for a Group 2 SUAS. This work will expand upon this Phase I design, while maintai ...

ABSTRACT: The proposed work, URIEL (Unified Representation and Inference for Exploitation of Links), aims to simplify the work of intelligence analysts in discovering and exploring latent relationships from multiple sources of massive amounts of information. URIEL will support 1) automated extraction, transformation, and load at scale from multiple data sources, including document archives, social ...
