ABSTRACT: U.S military logistics fuels such as JP-8 and JP-5 are used across the full range of its IC engines, from those adapted from Avgas to Remove Piloted Aircraft (RPA) applications to heavy duty compression ignition engines. Yet unlike commercial diesel fuels, these distillate fuels have no cetane specification, and so vary widely in this key measure of ignition delay. The result can be s ...

We propose to monolithically integrate an infrared light emitting diode (IRLED) array on the backside of a GaAs substrate whose frontside contains an array of driver circuits. We will develop smaller GaAs substrate via technology to enable smaller pixel pitch and realize a large-scale GaAs-SLEDS read-in integrated circuit (RIIC). Our team consists of experts in IRLED fabrication, RIIC design, Ga ...

New generation electric lasers offer the potential of a compact, lightweight deployable directed energy weapon with projected power levels into the megawatt range. These systems require power generation sources that can near-instantaneously deliver high levels of clean, stable power to the HEL load without disturbing the weapon platform stability or environment. This Proposed Phase II program adva ...

This Phase II effort will leverage the existing Standard Space Trainer (SST) Phase III SBIR state-of-the-art research platform to leverage its inherent capabilities as the software engine to support this research effort. The SST has a collection of software that provides development support and a common runtime environment for the use of mission specific plug-ins. This reusable SST Architecture ...

ABSTRACT:The ultimate goal of this SBIR is to provide the Air Force and more specifically, the Distributed Mission OperationsSpace (DMO-S) community, with a way to connect the DMO Network to multiple AFSPC simulated operational environments to support DMO-S exercise activities.Sonalysts plans to develop a DMO to Standard Space Trainer (SST) Gateway to integrate each SST plug-in to support DMO-S gl ...

ABSTRACT: The Sonalysts Team proposes to develop a solution to establish secure cross enclave network interfaces that facilitate the flow of data between different levels of classification while improving and ensuring both security and data integrity. We will develop a prototype software application that will complement Cross-Domain Solution (CDS) installations by standardizing configuration and ...

ABSTRACT:In this phase II effort we will commercialize the high speed, high power, modified uni-traveling carrier (MUTC) photodiodes (PDs). To this end, we will develop reliable packaging solutions for discrete PDs, PD arrays, balanced PDs and waveguide based PDs. We will also transition the chip fabrication process for continuous, high volume supply of quality MUTC PD chips. In the first six mont ...

ABSTRACT:Under this Phase II SBIR contract, Bridger Photonics and Montana State University-Spectrum Lab will design, build and deliver both a statistical scintillation tomographic system and a coherent tomographic wavefront sensor (CTWS). Both proposed systems meet the long term Air Force needs with respect to the full characterization of atmospheric turbulence along horizontal or slant paths. The ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS EFFORT IS TO DEVELOP BOTH TEXTILE FORMS AND ASSOCIATED PROCESSING METHODS FOR A NEW THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITE MATERIAL FORM KNOWN AS "HYBRID YARN". THIS MATERIAL, CONSISTING OF A FINE MIXTURE OF GRAPHITE AND THERMOPLASTIC FILAMENTS, ALLOWS FOR A FLEXIBLE AND CONFORMAL RAW MATERIAL FORM WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE BROADLY USED IN AIRCRAFT STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS. IT OFFERS DRAMA ...

ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTATION, INC.(AMC) PROPOSES TO CONDUCT AN ANALYSIS OF THE ACTUAL AND PERCEIVED AUDIO VISUAL NEEDS OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) PROVIDERS IN THEIR NETWORKING EFFORTS WHICH CURRENTLY REVOLVE AROUND ACURRICULUM ENTITLED "OCCUPANT SAFETY SYSTEMS, LESSON PLANS AND INSTRUCTOR GUIDE FOR EMS PERSONNEL". WHILE THE CURRICULUM AND THE STRATEGIES WHICH IT DETAILS HAVE ME ...
