Low Cost Finishing of Optical Ceramic Domes with Embedded Grids
SBC: OPTIMAX SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: A13071Traditional methods of manufacturing ceramic domes with an embedded grid involves manufacturing two thin and precise domes that fit together, placing a grid between them, and bonding the assembly together. This method is costly as the optician has to make two precise domes to make embedded grid dome". For the Low Cost Finishing of optical Ceramic Domes with Embedded Grid, phase I SBIR, we plan to ...

Novel schemes for highly reliable aerospace electromechanical primary actuation systems
SBC: LCDRIVES CORP. Topic: SB132005There is a need to achieve 10^-9 reliability for actuators for critical aerospace applications and this precludes single point failure for all but the simplest and most reliable electrical and mechanical components. LC Drives proposes a method of constructing a high reliability linear actuator for critical aerospace applications that is designed such that jams caused by conventional electrical a ...

Aerodynamic Dome Manufacturing Cost Reduction
SBC: OPTIPRO SYSTEMS, LLC Topic: N132121Future missile systems will abandon the traditional hemi-spherical shape for shapes resembling a tangent Ogive. An ogive shaped dome has better aerodynamic capabilities than its spherical counterpart. This enables the missile to fly faster, farther, and with more accuracy while also increasing its payload capacity. The optical material of choice is polycrystalline alumina, PCA, which is a hard cer ...

High Precision Conformal Sensor Window
SBC: OPTIMAX SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N132122Windows that conform to an airframe shape are an essential optical element for future of sensing in aircraft and missiles. Conformal windows are challenging to manufacture due to their shape, typically with no or minimal symmetry, and specified material, typically a hard crystalline material. We aim to significantly improve the manufacturability of conformal windows by adapting an existing technol ...

High Precision Conformal Sensor Window
SBC: OPTIPRO SYSTEMS, LLC Topic: N132122Conformal sensor windows have the capability of increasing the performance of an optical system while decreasing the aerodynamic drag. In many cases, these windows might conform to the platform they reside in. They may also be made out of optical materials that are resistant to the elements, thus providing a degree of protection for the optical sensors that are behind them. Continued improvements ...

Corrective Optics Manufacturing for Aerodynamic Infrared Domes and Conformal Sensor Windows
SBC: OPTIMAX SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N132124Previous work at Optimax has demonstrated capability to manufacture geometrically complex freeform optics through further developments in sub-aperture polishing. Furthermore, the novel Optimax VIBE smoothing process finished optics, composed of polycrystalline ceramics, to a very fine surface roughness (~1-2nm RMS) without grain highlighting and preferential removal. This proposal builds off previ ...

Corrective Optics Manufacturing for Aerodynamic Infrared Domes and Conformal Sensor Windows
SBC: OPTIPRO SYSTEMS, LLC Topic: N132124Aerodynamically shapes missile domes have many benefits over traditional spherically shaped domes. To correct for optical aberrations presented by this non-traditional shape, free form corrective optics are required between the dome and the image sensor. For this example, the corrective optics shape may be in the form of an arch. Currently the design and utilization of corrective arch shapes are c ...

Aimpoint Maintenance of Ground Targets by Airborne Laser Systems
SBC: Equinox Corp. Topic: AF131014ABSTRACT: We propose an algorithm for aimpoint maintenance that is robust to large changes in target aspect as well as scintillation and atmospheric turbulence. The approach makes use of flexible, parametrized vehicle models that are capable of representing a vast array of potential targets. Information about the platform orientation collected from on-board sensors and minimal user input provide ...
