ABSTRACT: M4 Engineering and Florida State University propose to develop methods for rapidly identifying store/aircraft configurations at elevated risk for adverse separation events.The methods developed will require from the user only data that is typically available prior to detailed influence load collection.One of the approaches will directly make use of independent parametric information for ...

ABSTRACT:Current space COMSEC units are quite large (not suitable for NanoSats or CubeSats), are based on 1980s technology, and do not take advantage of modern protocols or data standards.They are also predicated on unique communications equipment and built to only meet the Space-Ground Link System specification, which is not at all designed to be compatible with modern interfaces or networking so ...

ABSTRACT:In this project we seek to transition major recent developments in the mathematics of model reduction to industrial grade computing applications in liquid rocket combustion instability. From the mathematical side, we are interested in unsteady nonlinear dynamical systems which exhibit limit-cycle behavior and large oscillations and potentially discontinuous solutions. From the application ...

ABSTRACT: The U.S. Air Force has a need to develop a new class of advanced, wide field of view (WFOV) imaging sensors that sample the radiation field in multiple modes: spectral, temporal, polarization, and detailed object shape. These multimodal sensors are to be deployed on high altitude drones to enhance their intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. Smaller versions o ...

ABSTRACT:In modern battlefields, Electronic Warfare (EW) plays dominating role. To win the battlefield, it is a must to win EW first.In fighting the EW, it is vital to possess the most advanced radio frequency-selective shielding technologies to effectively protect electronic equipment, electronic communications and data storage systems on which the C4I system is established, while the microwave b ...

ABSTRACT:Emergence and feasibility for flexible body-worn electronics and particularly medical patches requires high performance electronics capability.The problem is that these new technologies must have flexible and conformal physical formats and conventional electronic components are not in any way flexible. In the CLAS Phase I program, a new flexible high-performance manufacturing and material ...

ABSTRACT: Aeroelastic stability or flutter testing has been and will continue to be a critical part of the development of any new aircraft system or configuration expansion to ensure that it is free of any excessive and possibly destructive aeroelastic interactions. In Phase I, novel identification techniques were combined into a toolset capable of performing real-time identification of aeroelast ...

ABSTRACT: Continuing the Phase I research involving VOC Odor Signature modeling, Toyon Research Corporation and North Carolina State University proposes to develop two products of the Phase II effort: VOCScenario and VOCSourceSeek. VOCScenario will provide a simulation environment for supporting the development emerging e-nose sensors for Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs). The solution relies ...

ABSTRACT: QuinStar Technology proposes to develop an efficient, solid-state power amplifier (SSPA), operating over the 71 to 76 GHz band, for use in high data rate satellite transmitters. The goals of an efficient >35 watt, power amplifier at these frequencies will be met by employing a combination of state-of-the-art (SOA) wide-bandgap gallium nitride (GaN) HEMT device technology and innovative ...
