ATA Engineering, Inc., (ATA) developed and demonstrated a prototype SSCS for performing ground-based calibration of structural health sensors installed within the wings and horizontal/vertical tails of the F/A-18 aircraft. An automated user interface and...

The problem of measuring the flow of fuel in the testing of military aircraft has, so far, been addressed with the use of conventional inline flowmeters, which require lengthy installation/removal times and substantial modification of the fuel lines to allow sensor insertion.Commercial non-invasive flowmeters do not possess the accuracy and robustness required by the U.S. Air Force in its flight t ...

Currently fielded multi-beam CDL systems have been developed in an ad-hoc manner consisting of a collection of poorly integrated off the shelf technologies where controllers, radios, routers, firewalls, encryptors, and antennas are bolted together to reduce time to field.Proprietary APIs, electrical interfaces, and hardware interfaces impede the success of the approach and result in a sub-optimal ...

In this Phase II effort, Mimyr proposes to continue development and initial production of the Optimized Software Interpreter for Routing via Iridium Satellites (OSIRIS) system that has been validated and proven feasible in a successful Phase I effort. The goal of the program has changed since the Phase I proposal was awarded and the OSIRIS name is still used although Iridium satellites are no long ...

Advances over the last decade in sensors, miniature and flexible electronics, wireless protocols, and related technologies now make it feasible to sensecontinuously and accurately - environmental and operational parameters over the entire surface of an aircraft using a wide network of sensors. A specific example, and the subject of this proposal, is the AFRL-developed Artificial Hair Sensors (AHS) ...

The PNT adaptive antenna electronics (AE) was developed in response to the U.S. Pacific Command Rapid Innovation Funds (RIF) Broad Area Announcement (BAA), PACOM-13-BAA-RIF-0001. The objective of this contract was the development of an affordable, lightweight jamming resistant Global Positioning System (GPS) navigational unit within the size, weight, and power constraints of a group one micro unma ...

ABSTRACT: Contact type slip rings are frequently the limiting factors in a test and measurement system due to its poor reliability and signal quality issues. A non-contact solution is preferred in many mission critical systems. SA Photonics has developed RODS (Rotational Optical Data System), a fiber optic based non-contact solution that promises higher reliability, better signal integrity, improv ...

SARA will develop an L-band detection sensor node that will detect, characterize, and geo-locate GPS jammers. At least eight nodes will be produced and they will be networked into an integrated surveillance system. The integrated, multi-node system will be controlled by a central monitoring system, where real-time surveillance results will be displayed to the end-user. The system will be tested an ...

Attollo Engineering will utilize its existing strained layer superlattice technology developed for high operating temperature (HOT) MWIR VGA-format FPAs and transition the device designs and hybridization techniques to fabricate a series of large format, 2k x 2k, 10 m pixel pitch infrared focal plane arrays in the MWIR through LWIR to satisfy the performance requirements of short mission duration, ...

The proposed project will focus on qualifying amorphous-iron Particle Reinforced Metal Matrix Composite (PRMMC) coatings as replacements for Electrolytic Hard Chrome (EHC) and HVOF WC- Co wear and corrosion resistant coatings on high-strength steel components. These legacy coatings have been identified on the OSD Emerging Contaminants Watch or Action Lists, and future manufacture and maintenance o ...
