Maintaining the many types of weapons systems within the Department of Defense (DoD) is a tremendous task and procuring replacement components is made especially difficult due to obsolescence and often time, excessive pricing. Many components are no longer available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the DoD does not have sufficient documentation to develop new suppliers. A new, s ...

San Diego Composites, Inc. (SDC) will provide the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) qualified environmentally stable composite (ESC) replacement parts as an alternative source of supply for the parts on the DLA published Land and Maritime Replenishment Parts Purchase or Borrow and Limited Source Candidate Parts lists. SDCs ESC parts can be produced up to 75% faster, require up to 98% less preventativ ...

During Phase I, Spectral labs proposes using our multi-disciplined engineering, quality assurance, and production staff to reverse engineer an NSN 6130-015487556 Battery Charger, P/N RF-5853-CH106 in order to become an approved source. We will prepare a Source Approval Request (SAR) which includes a complete Technical Data Package and Test Plans. Following established ISO 9001 certified processes, ...

The U.S. Air Force is interested in developing hypersonic vehicles including reusable transport aircraft, cruise missiles, and unmanned systems. Hypersonic flight regimes result in multifaceted and very difficult design challenges that can be encapsulated into an aerothermoelastic problem, which is a complex interaction of structural, thermal, and aerodynamic mechanisms. When a flexible structural ...

The Counter Unmanned Rapid Engagement System (CURES) is a modular cost effective system developed to combat the commercially available Group 1 UAV epidemic. Demand for a system to detect, identify and engage this threat has opened up a large military and commercial area. The objective of this program is to rapidly create, evaluate through test, and insert technology for countering the most prolife ...

The ROBOpilot Unmanned Aircraft Conversion System is a modular system that rapidly converts existing manned aircraft into an autonomous unmanned aircraft without making permanent modifications to the host aircraft. ROBOpilot autonomously pilots an aircraft using the instruments and controls available to a human pilot. An onboard flight computer with autopilot will gather aircraft state data and ma ...

Towards the goal of enabling MIMO capabilities for TCDL radios while maintaining full backward compatibility, we propose the design, development and demonstration of TCDL MIMOnizer, a new appliqu aimed to empower TCDL modems with MIMO capabilities with minimum hardware modifications to the legacy radio such as smart low-lost bolt-on module or smart add-on antenna. In onedesign scenario, the MIMOni ...

EGT measurement in gas-turbine engines is considered a key parameter for optimizing fuel economy and PHM systems.Currently, direct EGT measurements made on turbine modules are limited due to the ultra high temperature (UHT) environment. Accurate EGT measurements and durable sensors are of specific importance for high-performance military turbine engines.optoXense will develop a new FBG-based EGT s ...

Great strides have been made in computational physics algorithms and computational power, allowing for fast computer-aided engineering (CAE) solutions of ever larger simulations involving such fields as fluid dynamics (CFD), electromagnetics (CEM) and structural mechanics (CSM). However, mechanical computer-aided design (CAD) data preparation and manipulation continues to dominate most CAE activit ...

To address the Air Forces need for a tool to evaluate, understand, and predict key influential technology areas within a multi-domain, Air Force-centric future challenge, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Bayesian Multi-Domain Evaluation Tool (BAMDET) based on novel integration of a new analyst interface with a backend software component built around recent advances in pr ...
