ABSTRACT: Space Situational Awareness is concerned with the physical characteristics, capabilities, operations, health, and potential threats posed by space objects. This information is gathered largely via radar and optical data collection facilities. Due to the increasingly large number of space objects and relatively limited number of collection facilities, it's important that collection operat ...

In Army SBIR II Management Sciences, Inc. has developed the EdgeWare edge-enabled system for soldiers on the move equipped with Nett Warrior End User Devices. EdgeWare is game changing because it pulls delivery of important information to the combat soldier and reflectively pushes information from the combat soldier to commanders and other support organizations such as medical, logistic, and intel ...

We propose to design an optical imaging system consisting of multiple transmit and receive apertures. This distributed aperture array can provide resolution capabilities similar to a large monolithic aperture without the associated volume, weight, and aircraft structural modifications. A key challenge of such a system is to accomplish the imaging function without requiring an elaborate optical rel ...

Multi-point initiators used in modern explosive projectiles rely on high voltage capacitors which can deliver high power in a low inductance configuration. Current capacitors meeting the required performance specifications are based on dielectric ceramics in multi-layer configurations. These capacitors cost as much as $100 and have a volume of over 400 mm3. This translates to $200-400/J/cm3, conse ...

ABSTRACT:A new differential spectroscopic technique is proposed to detect VOCs for environmentalmonitoring and remdiation at Edwards AFB. This new technique has demonstrated promisewith similar materials and can be deployed in a modestly sized unit to providecontinuous monitoring.BENEFIT:This technology is applicable to various types of monitoring application and is anorthogonal signature that com ...

ABSTRACT: XL Scientific LLC will leverage over a half a century of High Power Microwave (HPM) Effects Test and Modeling experience to develop an integrated DREAM2 toolkit that models the vulnerability and susceptibility of electronic systems, subsystems and components to directed energy (DE) HPM weapons. The analysis toolkit developed will center on three essential modules, critical in a full asse ...

ABSTRACT:XL Scientific proposes to design and build the Restoration Time Measurement System (RTMS) a portable test system for assessing recuperation time for a computer network disrupted via high power electromagnetic (HPEM) radiation. RTMS will be a combined hardware and software solution that includes a custom software application that directly interfaces specialized computer network components ...

ABSTRACT:The Air Force is seeking a software tool that can aid ISR mission planners in ensuring that essential elements of information (EEIs) extracted from sensor data at stages throughout the data fusion process are of a satisfactory quality. This tool will must be responsible for appropriately configuring compression algorithm settings across multiple modalities, including electro-optic, infrar ...

ABSTRACT:The objective for SBIR solicitation AF141-152 is the definition, development and execution of an uncertainty propagation analysis for modeling RUS frequency variation for Ni-base superalloys. Ensuring the accuracy of RUS modeling techniques requires a proper understanding of propagation of uncertainty in model results from various sources of error. In Phase I of the project, the Team iden ...

ABSTRACT:Tau Technologies proposes to automate the current Air Force Satellite Control Network Link Protection System (ALPS) to facilitate the rapid dissemination of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) sources to the relevant commands centers. RFI emitter locations and related information will be automatically distributed via eXtensible Markup Language (XML) messages sent over any available compute ...
