Advanced infrared laser fibers
SBC: AGILTRON, INC. Topic: AF07T037This program will demonstrate, for the first time, a commercial prototype high power fiber laser in the 3-5µm band, based on Agiltron chalcogenide glass infrared optical fiber technology. High power IR lasers that emit multiwatt output at various infrared wavelengths in the 212µm region are a long-standing technical challenge. Fiber lasers, widely considered the choice for almost all high power ...

System for Information and Meta-information Portrayal of Lessons-learned (SIMPL)
SBC: APTIMA INC Topic: AF08T002A key challenge for net-centric warfare in the age of information is: How do we know that our actions are having the desired effects? This deceptively simple question often goes unanswered despite the increasingly massive amounts of information available. In the Air and Space Operations Center (AOC), the Operational Assessment Team is responsible for answering this question for the Joint Forces A ...

A Coaxial High Energy Thruster for Defensive Space Applications
SBC: BUSEK CO., INC. Topic: AF07T036Busek Co. Inc. and Stanford University propose to develop and test an advanced high power plasma propulsion concept referred to here as a Coaxial High EnerGy Thruster, or CHENG thruster. The thruster is first and foremost a propulsive device. However, because the device is pulsed, compact, and efficient the plasma beam is highly condensed and energetic. For this reason, the thruster may also b ...

Variable-Isp Ionic Liquid Electrospray Thruster
SBC: BUSEK CO., INC. Topic: AF08BT09Busek proposes, with the MIT Space Propulsion Lab, to develop and characterize a variable-Isp colloid thruster operating only in the ionic mode and achieving its variable-Isp through use of a deceleration grid. This approach overcomes the usual inefficiencies encountered in variable-Isp colloid thruster operation, where lower Isp is accomplished through operation in droplet or mixed droplet/ion ...

Cold Cathode for High Power Magnetrons
SBC: BUSEK CO., INC. Topic: AF08BT14Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Busek Co. Inc. propose to develop high total current (10A) planar and cylindrical cold cathode for high power magnetrons. The cathode will be based on Vertically Aligned Carbon Nano-Fiber (VA CNF) technology. Emission uniformity and burnout prevention will be achieved by individual ballasting of the CNFs. MIT will demonstrate high total current ...

Growth of Alloy Semiconductors with Travelling Magnetic Fields
SBC: CAPESYM INC Topic: AF07T026The goal of this program is to build a system for growth of alloy semiconductors with electro-magnetic stirring, and to use this system to grow AlGASb crystals. The growth system will be built to be easily configurable for crystal growth by the Vertical Bridgman,and Traveling Heater methods. It will include two different setups for generation of stirring forces in the liquid semiconductor, each ...

Enabling Representation of Meta-Information in Net-Centric Environments (ERMINE)
SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC. Topic: AF08T002The modern military environment is shifting towards the paradigm of network-centric warfare (NCW). NCW harnesses the power of multiple information systems operating concurrently and makes a wealth of information available to the Warfighter, but can result in information overload. As a result, there is a need to identify and represent actionable information to the Warfighter along with the associat ...
