High Resolution ADC on an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (HRADC-ASIC)
SBC: A-TECH CORPORATION Topic: AF131073ABSTRACT: Performance of space-based digital control systems is limited by the low resolution of available radiation-hardened Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) and Digital to Analog Converters (DACs). Applied Technology Associates (ATA) proposes to develop a High Resolution ADC on an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (HRADC-ASIC) that provides: Up to 16-22 bits of resolution with corre ...

Cryogenic Optical Refrigeration for Space Applications
SBC: ThermoDynamic Films LLC Topic: AF131083ABSTRACT: Optical refrigeration is currently the only demonstrated all-solid-state cryocooling technology. Optical cryocoolers use laser light to cool small crystal or glass cooling elements. The cooling element absorbs the laser light and reradiates it at higher energy, an example of anti-Stokes fluorescence. The extra energy of the outgoing light comes from the thermal energy of the cooling ele ...

Robust, Lightweight Wiring for Space Applications
SBC: MINNESOTA WIRE & CABLE CO Topic: AF112093ABSTRACT: An ability to reduce the weight of cables has the potential to provide significant cost savings, reduce maintenance and improve reliability of satellites. The costs of developing and producing satellites are linearly proportional with the satellite"s weight, with each kilogram costing around $1 million when delivery-to-space costs are included. With global satellite launches expected to ...

Embedded Cognitive Bayesian Prognostic Health Management for RPA Propulsion Systems
SBC: MANAGEMENT SCIENCES INC Topic: AF121170ABSTRACT: The Air Force is facing severe budget cuts which force the need to cut operating costs of aircraft and manpower. One way to do this is to increase reliability of systems and components which would reduce maintenance and increase operational availability, which reduces the number of aircraft needed to complete missions. The Air Force desires a new prognostic health management (PHM) appro ...

Nonequilibrium Plasma-Assisted Combustion-Efficiency Control in Vitiated Air
SBC: CU AEROSPACE L.L.C. Topic: AF13AT04ABSTRACT: CU Aerospace (CUA) and team partner the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) propose to perform research, development and demonstration of experimental quenching free measurements of heat-release in a realistic highly turbulent plasma-assisted flame. Kinetics models will be correspondingly updated and detailed 3D multiphysics simulations will be validated by the measuremen ...

Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) Compliant GPS Receiver for GEO
SBC: MINERVA SYSTEMS & TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: AF141113The objective of this proposal is to develop Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) compliant GPS receiver for Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) applications. In this proposal, we explore an approach to design the GEO GPS SAASM receiver based on improved techniques for signal acquisition (or detection) and then signal tracking (and demodulation) of weak GPS signals. GPS signals availa ...

Magnetic Sphere Gyro (MSG)
SBC: A-TECH CORPORATION Topic: AF141133High performance angular rate sensors (gyros) with low SWaP, wide operating temperature range, and low cost are required to improve tactical IMUs to strategic grade for long-range weapons guidance without GPS. ATA is proposing the Magnetic Sphere Gyro (MSG), a non-MEMS 2-DOF rate gyro based on a spinning magnetic sphere. The MSG is a relatively simple device with minimal parts count yet has the ...
