AEgis Technologies Group, Inc. is pleased to present this proposal for a Phase II SBIR entitled,

This Research and Development (R&D) effort will produce an architecture and prototype for performing quick-look analysis of Electromagnetic (EM) Compatibility (EMC) using Modeling and Simulation (M&S) technologies. The target domain will be aircraftsustainment and will focus on the insertion of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies into existing aircraft. COTS technologies provide a cost- ...

The thermal protection system (TPS) community is in critical need of a newdesign paradigm if the vision of low maintenance, high sortie rate spacevehicles is to be realized. A revolutionary change is needed in the TPSdesign approach and in the use of innovative materials that can survive longdurations in an extreme heating environment without significant ablation.Low erosion, low conductivity mat ...

Under Phase I effort, Applied Thin Films, Inc. (ATFI) discovered a new process to deposit oxide buffer layers for HTS coated conductors that is economical, scalable, and has demonstrated excellent performance with YBCO films (current densities of 1MA/cm2). The process is called ECONO (Epitaxial Conversion to Oxide via Nitride Oxidation) which is now being considered as the primary contender for t ...

In this Phase I SBIR project, a low-cost oxide-oxide interface coating-free ceramic matrix composite (CMC) will be developed for radomes for next-generation high speed missiles. The innovative and key component of the CMC is a newly patented matrixmaterial (CerablakT) based on aluminum phosphate compositions. The key properties of CerablakT relevant to radome applications is its low dielectric c ...

A MEMS Rotating Annular Sensor (MARS) is proposed which senses rotation velocities and accelerations in one discrete time sensor. Differential capacitance measured at various points about the annulus permit a single MARS to measure accelerations in threedegrees of freedom and rotational velocities in two, missing only the angular velocity about the local z axis. Two MARS systems can be used for fu ...

Archangel's Air Data Attitude Heading Reference System (ADAHRS) is a solid-state unit that integrates low-cost piezoelectric MEMS gyros and accelerometers, as well as pitot and static sensing devices and a magnetometer with a local processor. Accuraciesto 1 degree RMS have been demonstrated in aircraft test flights. Long term stability of the ADAHRS has been demonstrated to be better than 1 degre ...

This research will determine extent and nature of the neutralization of bacterial spores when they are exposed, for very short times to high temperatures, pressures, and chemicals important in Agent Defeat weapons.. An exposure system will be constructedcapable of providing the ultra-short exposure times (on the order of ms) that are characteristic of bomb explosions and will be capable of exposi ...
