To address the Air Force need for Android mobile device (MD) virtualization and a Mediated Mobile Access (MMA) solution, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to advance development of a new Secure Hypervisor for Mobile Devices (HyperM), which was pr

The ultimate goal of this proposed effort is to improve OPIR (and other initiating event) follow-on ISR tipping and cueing and satellite bus telemetry data analysis; dramatically shorten the associated response time to new OPIR (and other) events; and improve ISR collection quality, resulting in: improved analyst performance; better-quality schedules; and higher, and better utilization of sensors. ...

ABSTRACT: In this work, freedom Photonics is proposing to develop a hybrid integration platform that integrate yielded, best-of-breed optical components on a low-loss Silicon platform to form high performance, phase stable integrated RF photonic systems. This will be done in a highly manufacturable manner, using passively aligned placement of the semiconductor components on the Silicon substrate t ...

The objective of the Phase II SBIR project is to develop, integrate, and test production representative FPGA based 1394 network interface hardware. The developed hardware will be tested and demonstrated within current program avionics networks using actual aircraft equipment. This hardware will have integrated New Wave 1394 PHY and Link Layer FPGA cores. The outcome of this program will be FPGA ba ...

ABSTRACT: Data transmission in communication systems, RADARs, satellite systems, and other military devices are dominated by analog data conversion. High performance, low power digital to analog converters (DAC) that exceed 3Gsps with 12 bits of resolution and are available in the commercial marketplace, but they lack the radiation hardness required to support military satellite applications.Trust ...

Karagozian and Case, Inc. (K&C) proposes to develop a Rigid-Body Off-Axis Ordnance Shock And Tail-Slap Environment Replicator (ROOSTER) prototype which can induce peak accelerations over 10,000 g for sustained periods of at least 5 ms to sub-scale non-inventory warheads in order to replicate the harsh and complex deceleration environment experienced by ordnance during penetration. The concept take ...

A suite of novel dynamic characterization experiments using non-destructive methods and destructive dynamic recovery methods, the latter which we believe is capable of safely and accurately fracturing structural reactive materials (SRMs) under controlled loads and rates of deformation, has been developed and demonstrated for composite material systems fabricated using hot-isostatic pressing (HIP). ...

This project is developing strategies for liquid fuel injection that reduce the sensitivity of the injection process to liquid physical properties. The injection process depends on liquid properties such as viscosity or surface tension. Changes in properties can alter the distribution of the fuel ahead of the combustion process. Changing fuel temperature can change fuel properties. Alternative fue ...

Many of the US Department of Defense (DOD) electrical connectors, back-shells and components currently contain cadmium (Cd).Cadmium is a known carcinogen.Furthermore, the cadmium is typically conversion coated with a hex-chromate which is also hazardous.Both the cadmium plating process and its subsequent conversion coating have been proven to be toxic (unlike other processes such as chromium plati ...

Current scene projection hardware is challenged to simultaneously meet the requirements for high peak temperature (> 2000K), high resolution (2Kx2K), response time < 4 ms, cryogenic and temporally uniform photon flux. MEMS, Resistor arrays, liquid cr...
