ABSTRACT: Space situational awareness is often limited by the ability of sensors to produce resolved data on space objects. Large objects cannot be resolved with small low-cost telescopes; objects in geo-synchronous orbit are too remote to be resolved. The best hope of ending these limitations is to make it possible to determine important features of space objects from unresolved data, typically ...

ABSTRACT: This research plans to use existing MSSS sensors to investigate methods to detect and track faint objects (greater than or equal to 14th visual magnitude) in any orbit around the Earth using ground-based electro-optics sensors, without prior knowledge of the object's orbit. The basic technique is to image part of the sky with a wide field-of-view detector. Processing algorithms wil ...

ABSTRACT: Future fighter jets will be equipped with advanced sensors and systems which will dissipate increasing amounts of heat. To manage the heat loads, a thermal management system utilizing two-phase flow will be necessary. It is important to understand and predict the behavior of a thermal management system under all possible mission conditions. The Oceanit technology will quickly and accura ...

ABSTRACT: Oceanit will develop a working prototype module that will undergo testing with each category of Threat engagement. We will articulate a clear pathway forward to productization to include package design concepts that meet tactical and environmental considerations. BENEFIT: Dual Use (Military & Commercial) Applications: Production development program for a sensor system to enhance or re ...

ABSTRACT: Oceanit proposes to build a ultra wideband signal generator using state-of-the-art digital-to-analog converters. BENEFIT: The proposed technique can be applied to wireless communication systems.

ABSTRACT: Oceanit proposes to develop a agile direction finding array using a novel approach. BENEFIT: The proposed technique can be applied to wireless communications.

ABSTRACT: This Phase II proposal concerns the expansion of the MDO methodology developed in the Phase I for air vehicle design to integrate subsystem placement, topology, shape and sizing multi-disciplinary and multi-objective optimization of full air vehicle configurations. The planed software should be enable transformative air vehicles that can assist USAF securing and enforcing Air Superiorit ...

Oceanit has successfully shown in Phase I that highly accurate (sub-arcsecond) observations are obtainable utilizing a relatively low-cost COTS system. These highly accurate angular observations can be introduced into the orbit determination process as asupplement to high-quality range data. These improved angular observations help resolve the geometric ambiguity of range-only orbit determinatio ...
