ABSTRACT: As stated in the solicitation, the Air Force spends $4.5 billion annually on aircraft maintenance related to corrosion. A significant fraction of this expenditure could be saved by a Corrosion Mitigation System (CMS) that both limited a shelter's indoor relative humidity to less than 50% while capturing airborne chloride particles. However, these functions, particularly humidity c ...

In response to the A13-004 Remote Triage of Combat Casualties solicitation, MaXentric proposes the VitalWave system. The VitalWave system uses Doppler radar and radar imaging to assess the vital signs individuals. The use of Doppler radar allows for a system that can measure vital signs with no direct contact required. This allows first responders the ability to assess the vital signs of multiple ...

MaXentric is proposing a novel C2 network solution capable of interconnecting wireless devices simultaneously over different wireless technologies (military and/or commercial) either operating in peer-to-peer mode or using a wireless infrastructure. Our s

ABSTRACT:To meet the Air Force's need for cyber defense and hardening of tactical IP networks, we propose developing Cyber Hardening and Agility Technologies for Tactical IP Networks (CHATTIN). CHATTIN will harden existing tactical networks by injecting an authentication mechanism, automatically detect and block attacks and reconnaissance attempts, and provide agile isolation of adversarial nodes. ...

ABSTRACT:Significant gains to engine performance are achievable through the development of advanced cooling designs in blade and vane airfoils in order to allow higher turbine inlet temperatures. Correspondingly, reductions in maintenance costs can be achieved through higher confidence evaluation criteria for such cooling designs. In this effort, scaling parameters used between experimental and en ...

ABSTRACT:Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities have become common place technology with commercial and DoD applications with several countries developing their own standard Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). To provide service to multiple satellite bands, a reconfigurable radio front-end that can support all possible GNSS/communication bands with simultaneous reception is needed. M ...

ABSTRACT:This proposal addresses the problem of geolocating moving targets (GMTI) from data sets collected as part of an imaging program such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR). A linear frequency modulation (LFM) waveform from a moving platform that contains both the transmitter and the receiver (monostatic case) is envisioned here. Combining Along-track Interferometry (ATI) and Space Time Adaptiv ...

ABSTRACT:Low Noise Amplifiers covering the 27.5-31.0 GHz and 43.5-47.0 GHz bands with ultra-low noise figures of less than 0.6 and 0.9 dB at the MMIC level, and 0.8 and 1.1 dB at the modules waveguide flange level, respectively, are proposed. This represents a reduction of nominally 0.5 to 1.0 dB over newly announced MMICs, and 1 to 2 dB reduction relative to commercial LNAs. WGS and AEHF satellit ...

ABSTRACT:The Ka-band SATCOM systems offer potential for transportable and mobile communications through the effective use of the wide bandwidths available while requiring that adequate linearity performance be maintained. In environments where size and power conservation is of high importance, power consumption and heat dissipation in the power amplifier (PA) must be minimized. However, it is wide ...

ABSTRACT:The objective of this proposal is to develop and demonstrate an innovative laser cavity design based on high efficiency diffractive optical elements (DOEs) to replace currently used external bulk laser optics. This innovation will improve the stability of Vertical External Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VECSEL) systems as well as other types of solid state laser systems. The developed DOE ...
