ABSTRACT: Alameda Applied Sciences Corp proposes to develop a fast pulse, portable, fast neutron source to detect IED in the field. Our source offers a

The Spotter Phase 2 effort augments the successful Phase 1 approach to provide advanced automatic target acquisition algorithms tailored to exploit large format (LF) imagery. 21st Century Technologies, Inc. (21CT) proposes a suite of detection algorithms specifically designed to address the challenges of wide area aerial surveillance and reconnaissance. Spotter automatically detects vehicular targ ...

Chrome plating has been utilized as a protective wear coating for High Strength Steel (HSS) and Low Strength Steel (LSS) aircraft components for over half a century. High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) tungsten carbide chrome (WC-Co or WC-Co-Cr) coatings are currently being utilized as a chrome replacement on many aerospace and commercial components. Chrome plating and HVOF coatings are stripped us ...

Aerius Photonics is proposing a highly practical and effective plan to develop a scene projector that allows the polarization state of each pixel to be independently and dynamically controlled at full frame rates. The projector would utilize a single unpolarized resistor array system with a 4 polarization state linear micro-patterned polarizer. The resultant scene projector will be capable of pr ...

Open cell foam, which provides the highest heat transfer surface areas per unit volume, is considered as an excellent heat exchanger core material. Pyrolytic Carbon coated reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) foam, developed by Allcomp, which offers highly conductive foam ligaments and is available in different pore sizes and density, provides wide design options. A hybrid heat exchanger composed of ...

This proposal offers a detailed work plan to conduct the research and development tasks necessary to produce a system composed of software, application servers, PCs, and handheld computers for use by highly-mobile military personnel to collect and process cultural information, intelligence, and data. Development of the system will be facilitated by our extensive military research and operational e ...

ABSTRACT: Applied Physical Electronics, L.C. (APELC) offers this proposal as a method to achieve near term goals set out by the Air Force, as well as obtain a solution that will forge into the future of directed energy weapons. APELC is proposing a Marx generator-based non linear line suitable for deployment via a UAV platform. The proposed source, referred to as the High Power Non Linear Trans ...

The proliferation of unmanned surveillance & reconnaissance aircraft is reaching our enemies. In order to accomplish covert missions, our Special Operations Forces must avoid being observed by this expanding enemy capability. The ability to organically eliminate the threat of an enemy UAV would significantly enhance our soldier’s ability to stay covert and improve the mission’s operational t ...

This project develops an innovative, enabling technology for precision attitude control of Penetrating Munitions.  An imaging sensor system is used to precisely measure airframe attitude relative to the velocity vector.  The measurement is used by the autopilot to accurately align the airframe with its velocity during the impact phase of flight.  This eliminates tail slap and promotes deeper pe ...

This Phase-II proposal addresses Air Force STTR Topic AF07-T031 (Robust, Autonomous, Inexpensive Space Weather Sensors), which was released with the objective to develop robust, autonomous, low-cost sensors to deliver near real-time, three-dimensional space environmental data.  The Air Force requires accurate knowledge of the ionospheric environment in order to understand and predict the ionosphe ...
