Hypersonic Experimental Aerothermoelastic Test (HEAT)
SBC: GLOBAL AEROSPACE CORPORATION Topic: AF16AT24The U.S. Air Force is interested in developing hypersonic vehicles including reusable transport aircraft, cruise missiles, and unmanned systems. Hypersonic flight regimes result in multifaceted and very difficult design challenges that can be encapsulated into an aerothermoelastic problem, which is a complex interaction of structural, thermal, and aerodynamic mechanisms. When a flexible structural ...

Seamless Sensor Network Communications
SBC: TOYON RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: AF04T015Wireless communication systems must operate under challenging conditions. For instance, communication between two ground personnel within an urban environment may not be possible; there may be severe fading or attenuation due to the numerous obstacles present. At the same time, this lack of connectivity is seen as unacceptable from the perspective of the radio operator. A recent concept undergoing ...

Seamless Non-Line-Of-Sight Communications for Urban Warfare
SBC: TOYON RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: AF05T022With its capability for long range and good penetration, UHF is a popular wireless band. Because of this, frequency allocations in UHF are typically small, on the order of tens of kHz. At the same time, there is an increasing popularity of aerial platforms, such as UAVs, containing a variety of imaging systems. So, while there may be numerous UAVs in a particular region of interest, there is no cu ...
