Award Data

A multivariate interface/data structure for insensitive munitions (IM) applications, technology and hazards/effects analysis can facilitate transition of propulsion modeling and simulation (M&S) capability. Expected benefits are reduced testing and overall acquisition cost and increased safety margins. Use of M&S can provide knowledge points not achievable with limited pass-fail testing. During Ph ...

In Phase I, TSC and the University of Connecticut developed an innovative track handover algorithm which combines estimated rotational motion states with measured radar or IR data to correlate tracks. Rotational motion states are derived from S-band or X

In this Phase II proposal, MetroLaser and Worcester Polytechnic Institute plan to develop an extremely versatile optical inspection suite to aid in the manufacture, assembly, and inspection of freeform optical components that are not easily inspected with conventional interferometry. After examining the critical manufacturing problems and associated inspection needs for such components, including ...

Global Aerospace Corporation (GAC), in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), plans to develop a prototype, high-fidelity, first principle-based, comprehensive, and user-friendly software model to predict the long-term behavior of advanced rechargeable lithium batteries in aerospace applications. This Li-Ion battery operation model will 1) incorporate in one tool, for the fir ...
