Modeling and Simulation for Design, Development, Testing and Evaluation of Autonomous Multi-Agent Models
SBC: SOAR TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: AF15AT14ABSTRACT: The rapid continued development of unmanned air systems (UAS) is enabling new mission types, in-creased mission effects, and increased airman safety. However, these advances also present numerous challenges to airman-machine interaction, tactics development, and defense. The rapid development pace has produced a situation where new technologies are outpacing the knowledge of how best to ...

Fused silica ion trap chip with efficient optical collection system for timekeeping, sensing, and emulation
SBC: TRANSLUME INC Topic: AF10BT17ABSTRACT: We will design, fabricate and test a quantum processing unit (QPU) based on a symmetric ion trap chip. The trap will provide trapping depth similar to that obtain with macrosize Paul traps. In addition to the ion trap, this chip will incorporate integrated optical systems which will deliver the light fields required by the elementary quantum processing unit (or quantum sensing unit). ...
