Through the use of Ascentia Imagings modern Accu-Arc sensors the USAFs future measurement system for jack-to-jig operations could be dramatically simplified compared to todays systems.We propose that our system could result in:Far less set-up time and operator trainingReduced cost of operation through simple or automatic operation and continuous self-calibrationPotentially increase overall system ...

Emerging small satellites are a candidate to fill the Air Forces need for more rapid and lower cost tactical space platforms.However, a gap exists in the small satellite market for optimized thermal management products.Thermal management issues plague SmallSats late in their design cycles, resulting in drastic de-rating or failure to meet performance objectives.Roccor proposes to develop an extrem ...

BCT is proposing a re-configuration of its high performing CubeSat architecture, to be optimized for schedule, with the goal of a 4 month CubeSat. This CubeSat will maintain BCT's excellent star tracker-based attitude control system and other high performing subsystems such that it meets the needs of 90% of likely projects.

The topic of this SBIR is centered around the question of how long it takes to develop CubeSats, and how can this time be significantly reduced. We hypothesize that two major factors impeding CubeSat development timelines are immaturity of the supply chain, and challenges with hardware-software interaction during the integration process. We propose a solution to overcome these challenges and propo ...

For the past several years, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has been developing digital holography for various applications including imaging, tracking, and HEL weapon systems. Guidestar Optical Systems, Inc. (Guidestar) has identified a low-noise, high-speed SWIR camera which is capable of addressing the issues identified by the Air Force and enhancing the performance of digital holograp ...

In this Phase I Air Force SBIR program, Phase Sensitive Innovations seeks deployment of a hyperspectral microwave photonic radiometer operating full band at V-Band (50-75 GHz) and/or G-Band (110-300 GHz) with 1 GHz spectral resolution on a 6U CubeSat bus in polar orbit for remote sensing applications.Our payload consumes about 2U, while 4U are available for avionics (e.g. attitude control, power, ...

Opterus proposes to develop a high performance deployable solar array for small spacecraft missions. The array will support the US Air Forces Space Warfighting Construct and enables resilient missions. The modular array is easily reconfigured for new cell technologies and array mission requirements (voltage, orbit, life, etc.). The array is also easily reconfigured from smaller missions with 1kW o ...

An increasing number of small satellite customers (Government and commercial) are planning projects that will require increasing amounts of power (1-3 KW) on a spacecraft that will be accommodated on variety of launch platforms. These advanced solar arrays must be large enough to collect 1-3 KW, yet stow into a compact volume, fit well with other spacecraft systems, and allow for tight integration ...

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to collect multiple precisely time stamped chronological samples (50-150 Ls each) for off-line analysis in laboratory assays.In Phase I, we demonstr ...
