Design Tools for Combustion Stability
SBC: IN SPACE, L.L.C. Topic: AF083112ABSTRACT:A joint experimental and computational project using a carefully designed, flexible test article is proposed to assess the velocity-coupled combustion response of a representative liquid rocket injector element to transverse acoustic disturbances. In the proposed Phase II, the response of an injector flowfield at supercritical pressure conditions will be simulated, measured, and reduced i ...

Surface Treatments for Stainless Steel Actuators
SBC: IBC Materials & Technologies, LLC Topic: AF131202ABSTRACT: Stainless steel ballscrew components, such as those found in landing gear and flap actuators on the C-130 aircraft, experience wear and subsequent failure due to corrosion, contamination and foreign object damage (FOD). High"dither"conditions, where the actuator undergoes a constant short-travel, high-frequency movement to maintain level flight, can also induce wear on actuator ballscr ...

Method for Evaluating Candidates for Additive Manufacturing (AM) Processes
SBC: IMAGINESTICS, LLC Topic: AF141213ABSTRACT: A challenge which continues to present a barrier to the utilization of AM and wide spread adoption is knowing when to use the technology. This is particularly problematic in aerospace and in MRO operations because the technology is still emerging, and knowledgeable, experienced practitioners remain in short supply and will likely remain so until the next generation of technicians and en ...

Advanced Propulsion and Power Concepts for Large Size Class Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)
SBC: ENGINE RESEARCH ASSOCIATES INC Topic: AF131160ABSTRACT: Desired tactical requirements for unmanned aerial systems (UASs) exceed current capabilities for performance, reliability, maintainability, cost and supportability. Mission requirements such as extended endurance, increased power for auxiliary/sensor systems, and low altitude, low speed maneuverability are becoming paramount, specifically, in the 10,000 lb class of vehicles. These desir ...

High-Performance, Low SWaP, Radiation Hardened and Vibrationally Robust Inertial Measurement Unit Employing Fast Light Technology For Missile Defense
SBC: DIGITAL OPTICS TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: MDA14019There is a need for new types of IMUs, with better accuracy than the state of the art. Digital Optics Technologies (DOT) has been developing a Fast Light Optical Gyroscope (FLOG) that can improve the accuracy of rotation sensing by nearly six orders of magnitude. Alternatively, for a given accuracy need, the FLOG can be very small. DOT has also developed a Fast Light Optical Accelerometer (FLOAC ...

High Performance Noise-Suppressing Long Wavelength Infrared Mercury Cadmium Telluride Focal Plane Array (FPA) Sensors
SBC: EPIR, INC. Topic: MDA14021We propose the development of long wavelength infrared (LWIR) sensors based on HgCdTe in a novel noise-suppressing high temperature barrier (HTB) architecture, which combines the benefits of unipolar nBn and non-equilibrium, Auger-suppressing high operating temperature (HOT) structures. The proposed design is beneficial for controlling carrier conduction to minimize the number of majority and min ...

Micro Electro-mechanical Systems (MEMS) Safe & Arm for Rocket Motor Ignition
SBC: Black Hills Nanosystems Topic: MDA14022Ignition of rocket motors can be performed using low-volt firing components, but MIL-STD-1901A requires mechanical isolation for safety. While traditional safe & arm devices are available, they are relatively large and heavy. Recent progress in MEMS has developed miniature safe & arm devices for low-cost munitions such as 40MM grenade and airburst munitions. The Black Hills Nanosystems team has ...

Increased Lifetime and Decreased Dark Current in Ga-Containing Longwave Infrared (LWIR) Type-II Superlattices (T2SL) through Defect Identification and Mitigation
SBC: SIVANANTHAN LABORATORIES, INC. Topic: MDA14021Absorber layers based on Type-II superlattices (T2SLs) composed of III-V compound semiconductors (e.g. GaSb and InAs) are a promising sensor technology for infrared imaging; however, dark currents and short carrier lifetimes in the Ga-containing T2SL are significant problems. It is presently suspected that the short carrier lifetimes and some dark current arise due to a native point defect, possi ...

Variable Gravity Two-Phase Heat Sink for Airborne Directed Energy Systems
SBC: MUDAWAR THERMAL SYSTEMS INC Topic: MDA14016The proposed study concerns the development of a robust two-phase cooling module for airborne directed energy systems. There are five overriding objectives for the proposed Phase I study: (1) cooling module design, fabrication and instrumentation; (2) two-phase cooling loop development; (3) thermal tests; (4) theoretical model of cooling performance as a function of velocity and surface orientati ...
