ATA Engineering, Inc., (ATA) developed and demonstrated a prototype SSCS for performing ground-based calibration of structural health sensors installed within the wings and horizontal/vertical tails of the F/A-18 aircraft. An automated user interface and...

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is seeking post-intercept debris data from missile impacts in an exoatmospheric environment for the development and verification of analytic debris models being developed by the MDA. Control Vision, Inc. proposes a modular, stabilized, tracking and pointing system enabling close proximity, high temporal resolution data of intercepts and post-intercept debris fields ...

A program to develop a real-time, compact, infrared multispectral imager is proposed. The proposed Compact Multispectral Infrared Targeting System (C-MITS) builds upon Surface Optics’ real-time hyperspectral imaging activities, including our 3D full-motion video spectral imaging (FMV-SI) technology and our MIDIS hyperspectral image processor. Simultaneously sampling from 16 spectral bands from 1 ...

The DoD requires an increase in performance and density of solid propellants for use on boost, strategic and tactical missile systems. Attaining ingredients with higher energy and density while simultaneously maintaining satisfactory physical properties is extremely challenging. Focused efforts are needed to identify, synthesize, and characterize new ingredient oxidizers that can be produced comme ...

The objective of the present proposal is to develop and apply accurate, robust and cost-effective methodologies for the prediction of the interior nozzle flow, seamlessly coupled with high-fidelity large eddy simulation (LES) for the prediction of the jet plume and radiated noise. Based on the Phase I results, the meshing strategy and the wall modeling inside the nozzle were identified as the two ...

"The evolution in safe and arm (S&A) devices to in-line electronic S&A and Arm-Fire devices (ESAD/EAFD) have not tracked closely with the incredible cost- and size-reductions made by electronics. Large electro-mechanical S&A devices used in rocket motor ignition systems have become one of the notable cost elements on current missile systems. Developing and delivering smaller, in-line, electronic S ...

Sonalysts key technical objective for the Phase II effort is to develop an innovative prototype system to model and visualize the complex Electronic Warfare (EW) environment in support of Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) mission planning. In order to successfully achieve this objective, Sonalysts will develop a game-based solution leveraging our unique blend of corporate technology, Human Systems ...

The Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA’s) THAAD system is capable of detecting and intercepting ballistic missile threats. Hypergolic fuels are used in these missiles for inducing spontaneous ignition. These fuels are toxic, and require monitoring of leakage. InnoSense LLC (ISL) has developed a prototype sensor following Lockheed Martin (LM) specifications. ISL sensors are designed to serve as a dr ...

A universal Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is developed to interface with best-in-class symmetric resonator/transducer assemblies and provide a navigation grade digital or analog gyroscope output. It supports conventional Coriolis Vibratory Gyro (CVG) operation including Rate Gyro and Rate Integrating Gyro as well as recent advanced CVG approaches including dual mode-reversed RGs a ...

Ballistic Devices is developing a capacitor that utilizes Cubic Zirconia, a single crystal high-K dielectric material. The single crystal design approach is expected to enable orders of magnitude improvement in energy density over conventional ceramic capacitor designs. It is expected that these components will be able to operate at near the theoretical dielectric breakdown field strength and enab ...
