To address the Air Forces need for a form-fit-function replacement Video Display Terminal(VDT), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to logically extend the achievements accomplished in the Revolutionary Avionics Display Phase II Enhancement (RAD-IIE) contract by executing the MC-130J Video Display Terminal (VDT) Follow-On Phase II (VDT-II) effort. During the VDT II effort, POC will build on ...

The Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) uses water-cooled probes housing remote-head cameras to evaluate and monitor turbine engines. These cameras have traditionally been based on CCD (charge-coupled device) sensors outputting analog NTSC video signals. However, such cameras have numerous shortcomings including the introduction of noise over associated cabling, interlaced output format ...

Oceanit proposes to design and develop a plug-and-play cyber sand box laboratory with safeguards to allow testing of computer/electronic devices against cyber attacks.

In this Phase 2 SBIR Trex and Columbia propose to fabricate the SWIR optical comb concept that was developed in Phase 1 that is centered at 1550nm and has > 100 lines with 100 GHz FSR, 200+ uW/line, >45 dB side-mode suppression, and all lines are phased together. This is a hybrid device consisting of a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) that is coupled to a dual-ring Si3N4 (SiN) mic ...

Toyon Research Corp. and Hood Tech Corp. propose a combined hardware-software solution for image-based direct computation of target geo-coordinates using gimbal video and metadata, and an integrated laser range finder. The development is focused on small-gimbal systems suitable for use onboard small unmanned aerial systems (SUAS). The proposed Phase II development includes gimbal hardware modifica ...

Pranalytica will develop and provide an integrated target marker that includes marking capabilities at NIR wavelengths and out-of-band MWIR wavelengths, making it backward compatible with existing earlier generation imagers as well as with the newer imagers that provide critical advantage to warfighters by operating at wavelengths where the adversary is not likely to have access to appropriate ima ...

The primary technical objective of this Phase II proposal is to define a SATCOM waveform and related functional and performance requirements based on the ETSI DVB-S2 standard supporting configurable and variable bi-directional satellite data communications, implement the waveform and related functions on a modem hardware platform, and demonstrate functionality initially in a laboratory setting.The ...

The Joint Requirements Oversight Council Meteorological and Oceanographic Collection Requirements Report has documented twelve gaps in DoD Weather Operations, of which, Cloud Characterization (CC) and Theater Weather Imaging (TWI) are the two highest priority gaps specifically identified by the Air Force. These Space-Based Environment Monitoring (SBEM) requirements will partially be addressed by t ...

ABSTRACT: Contact type slip rings are frequently the limiting factors in a test and measurement system due to its poor reliability and signal quality issues. A non-contact solution is preferred in many mission critical systems. SA Photonics has developed RODS (Rotational Optical Data System), a fiber optic based non-contact solution that promises higher reliability, better signal integrity, improv ...

In Phase II, research and development will be performed to produce landing gear material coupons and full-scale parts.The printed coupons will be tested and analyzed to provide data which will enable determination of design values for derived mechanical properties.The production process will be developed for consistent production of landing gear component material which conforms to material specif ...
