Maxentric is proposing a heads-up display (HUD) system that takes advantage of augmented reality (AR) technologies to overlay information onto the battlefield and enhance situational awareness (SA). MaXentric’s solution will refine hardware and software requirements for Marine Corps use cases and deliver functional HUD prototypes for next-generation AR HUD systems that can serve both as training ...

The primary technical objective of the proposed effort will be to investigate integration of optical gain medium with thin-film lithium niobate on insulator (TFLNOI) optical waveguides. Recent developments in crystal ion-sliced (CIS) TFLNOI have enabled a new class of electro-optic modulators and photonic integrated circuits with tighter mode confinement, a compact footprint, ultra-high bandwidth, ...

MaXentric will develop an architecture which can disseminate Minotaur Family of Services (MFoS) data using the ARC-210 UHF capability as the transport segment.  The solutions must be capable of direct line of sight (LOS) as well as beyond LOS (BLOS) communication between system nodes.  MaXentric will evaluate the RF communications segment using modeling and simulation to ensure any candidate sys ...

The NAVY seeks a robust and rapid innovative process for joining thermoset composite structures and repair of damaged composite parts without destroying the adherends. The current practical joining technology used in the thermoset composites includes (a) mechanical fastening and (b) adhesive bonding. Holes drilled in the composite associated with the bolted connection involve stress concentrations ...

As the proliferation of video sensors continues, it becomes increasingly difficult to simultaneously monitor available video feeds to extract meaningful information. While automated analytics tools help, there is value to having a single, integrated view of a scene - a composite of the available cameras. These cameras may have different resolutions, framerates, and fields of view while operating i ...

The program will develop processing algorithms to produce an enhanced video stream from a multiplicity of spectral imaging sensors which are approximately coaligned, but do not necessarily share fields of view, resolution, dynamic range, or frame rate.  The algorithms will be generalized to take advantage of all available spectral bands.  Algorithms will be tested on collected multi-spectral dat ...

Navy ONR is seeking the design of an efficient wideband high-power amplifier using solid state technologies.  In response, MaXentric proposes Broadband Amplifier Source with Innovative LRU-based Integration using Solid-state for Kilowatt-outputs (BASILISK). The project will investigate how to design a 2-kW peak power solid state amplifiers with 70% efficiency and up to a 50% duty cycles. Combiner ...

In response to the Navy’s SBIR solicitation N212-111 “Technology for Transmitting and Receiving Airborne, High-Speed, Wideband, Covert Communications”,  MaXentric proposes LEOPARD (Linear Efficiency Optimized Phased Array with Real-time DPD) to overcome the challenges of efficient, linear amplification for phased arrays.  LEOPARD is designed to support both single carrier and multi-carrier ...

The munitions lifting assembly sunshade cover (Thermavent-SD) is a lightweight Static Dissipative (SD) cover system for use on the A/E32K-11 Munitions Lifting Assembly (MLA).  It is designed to provide >70% solar radiation blockage while functioning in a wide range of environments consistent with military operations.  The Thermavent-SD cover will be designed to be authorized for use by the Naval ...

The MaXentric team will develop a high-dynamic-range, high-power-handling, and high-survivability high frequency (HF) transmitter with significant enhancement in harmonic suppression and fast frequency hopping support. Covering a frequency range between 3 to 30 MHz, HF bands provide over-the-horizon communications across thousands of kilometers through skywave propagation as an alternative to sate ...
