Theoretical computing speeds have increased dramatically in the last decade with chip advances, including Graphics Processor Units (GPUs).In practice, however, these gains have not been realized, largely due to the accompanying high development costs due to the need for multiple code bases to take advantage of the various chips and their variants.The proposed project addresses these issues from bo ...

ColdQuanta proposes the development of compact electric field sensors that operate from 1 to 1000 GHz and feature absolute accuracy better than 1%. These devices will utilize highly excited Rydberg atoms that are exceptionally sensitive to RF, microwave, and millimeter radiation. Featuring sensitivities of a few uV/cm, the accuracy of these devices will be at least one order of magnitude better t ...

The printed approach that Sciperio used in Phase I demonstrated that it is feasible to utilize direct printing to manufacture ignition bridges. The direct printed approach is a combination of printed electronics and 3D printing. The conductive materials were printed and the holder for the materials of interest was 3D printed and then filled. This is all done utilizing a single machine and therefor ...

Triad Technology is proposing development of scalable process for fabrication of an all glass microcell with a getter/dispenser surface coating. The microcell fabrication process will provide the capability to build and fill multiple microcell at one time.

ABSTRACT: FIRST RF has teamed with University Research Foundation (URF) and Radiometrics Corporation to develop a passive radiometer-based geolocation system for use with a wide variety of USAF platforms. The system will be comprised of a ruggedized, near-COTS radiometer system by Radiometrics Corporation, augmented with a robust 2-D scanning beamsteering antenna by FIRST RF Corporation and enhanc ...

To maintain combat readiness in a changing warfare landscape, the Navy and USMC training communities needs comprehensive, easy-to-use database generation and editing tools. These tools must be flexible geospatial source data often lacks detail, so customization capabilities are essential. For example, users may need to edit the terrain database to accurately represent building interiors and perfo ...

The Department of Defense (DoD) is supported by a vast global network of computers, sensors, and equipment that is continually at risk of being breached by adversaries. Such cyber elements comprise an important part of the DoDs military readiness and the loss or degradation of such elements would reduce key advantages in communication, intelligence, and organization. Despite heavy investments in s ...

Rocket Lab USA, Inc. proposes to develop and demonstrate how the use of the Electron launch vehicle either as an upper stage in support of the XS-1 program or dedicated small launch vehicle could employ the use of Automated Flight Termination (AFTS) technologies to reduce the cost of access to space without adversely impacting public safety. Providing the launch opportunity to obtain flight telem ...

This project will produce a robust mechanical vapor compression water treatment system made economical and low-maintenance by a patented nanotechnology polymer membrane, Aqualyte. Aqualyte is a strong and inherently fouling resistant material organized at the nanometer scale with extremely hydrophilic regions that transport water molecules through the solid material without the need for any porosi ...
