The proposed Phase 2 program will accelerate the development and commercialization of the Traveler-ARM isolation system conceptualized during the Phase 1 program. The Phase 1 program has established the technical feasibility and requirements compliance ofthe Traveler-ARM isolation system. The primary objective of the proposed Phase 2 program is to further develop and validate the Traveler-ARM is ...

The next-generation gas turbine engines will operate at higher speeds; higher pressure-ratio and higher cycle temperature to achieve increased power and efficiency. Advanced bearings capable of operating above 3.0 MDN are required.Carbon-Carbon (C-C) bearing cages were developed jointly by AFRL/PRTM and Mr. Wei Shih of Allcomp to address requirements of an advanced supersonic missile engine. The i ...

The current inventory of Department of Defense fixed site and mobile tactical weapon systems relies on metallic structures that are extremely susceptible to corrosion. The primary reason for field and depot level repairs of military equipment iscorrosion. Metallic weapon systems and their components require extensive corrosion protection to extend service life and prevent operational failures. C ...

Applied Signal Technology, Inc. proposes to design, develop, and manufacture a Manpack Wireless Surveillance System, called ROGUE. ROGUE is being specifically design for use by SOF personnel for tactical wireless communications monitoring and forceprotection mission operations. ROGUE is a small (7.2

The proposed program addresses the development, manufacture and testing of a lightweight payload adapter able to accommodate a wide range of satellite geometries. An innovative design concept was developed for this purpose in Phase I of the program. Thisdesign consists of a graphite epoxy/honeycomb core laminate formed into an essentially flat disk. A single primary payload would be attached direc ...

The proposed effort utilizes the experience gained from over 20 years of work performed by the Optical Sciences Company in the areas of atmospheric propagation, wavefront sensing and adaptive optics technology to develop real time adaptive signalprocessors for on-line performance optimization of adaptive optical systems. In addition to building upon the technology developed for the GEN III NOP ad ...

We propose a phase II to develop a dynamic Fabry-Perot Tunable Filter (FPTF) array system tunable over the medium wave infrared (MWIR) for multi-spectral imaging, target acquisition, night vision and gas sensing. Base on the successful demonstration oftunability and fabricability in phase I, we will complete the development of a full 128x128 array system using the poly-dimethyl-siloxane (PDMS) pro ...

The Training Environment Support System (TESS) is designed to contribute to space operations training by (1) adding satellite operations center (SOC) support applications to Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS) training facilities and (2) providinginstructors and trainees with training aids. Currently, high fidelity, simulation-based training for satellite operators does not feature certain import ...

The objective is to design a modern very high performance microprocessor that will 1) execute existing MIL-STD-1750A software at the binary level, without modification or recomplilation, 2) solve the memory addressing and performance limitations of the1750A, and 3) permit new avionics software to be developed that will utilize the characteristics of the new instruction set architecture. Additiona ...

Realizing the fact that integration of photonics devices on-chip avoids many of bottlenecks associated with current system architectures while adding new functionalities, Crystal Research, Inc. proposes to develop an on-chip optical waveguide interconnectbus for dynamically-reconfigurable data transmissions at rates exceeding 10 gigabits per second. The proposed architecture employs advanced poly ...
