Not Available High power motors and generators can be made very compact when run under cryogenic conditions. For further enhancements in power densities it is highly desirable to use High Temperature Superconductors with a greatly enhanced critical current densigy Jc at 3T at 77K, which would allow the use of liquid nitrogen as a coolant. Under these operating conditions the superconductor YBa2Cu ...

Not Available Long-range, non-cooperative identification techniques such as one-dimensional shape echoes require sources that are compact, eyesafe and produce temporally short pulses to provide fast accurate target identification in the field. To meet these requirements, CTI proposes a solid state Raman laser (SSRL) with an innovative architecture that produces 1.5 um output in short 1 ns length ...

Not Available This SBIR project proposes to design an optimal methodology for the control of the twintail buffet problem encountered with modern fighter aircraft such as the F/A-18, F-15, and the new joint strike fighter (JSF). The buffet problem occurs when vortices emanating from the leading-edge extension of a delta wing break down before reaching the vertical tails. The resultant Unsteady unb ...

Not Available Vector waveform estimation theory implies that a GPS signal processor be constructed as a centralized estimator, in which inter-path statistical information is utilized in extracting state dynamics information from the spread spectrum signals. TISI has developed and implemented such a scheme, known as Integrated Demodulation Navigation (IDN), which addresses robust carrier phase tra ...

Not Available We propose a Phase I study to examine the potential for a lightweight carbon thermal management system, for hi-altitude aircraft and space vehicles. Thermal Hyperconducting carbons have demonstrated performance as high as 2000 W/mK. They are in use in some limited heat sink application at.this time, however this effort will look at a systems approach to conduct comprehensive thermal ...
