We propose to develop an innovative concept of the high speed dynamic IRSP that combines components and devices from proven suppliers with novel system-level research topics from CDS and University of Delaware. Having previously built and delivered working LED IRSPs to users gives CDS a unique advantage. In line with system theme of the solicitation, our phase 1 research topics are focused on syst ...

To reduce size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-c), military platforms have been evolving towards more integrated platforms that utilize all available space. For radiating systems, this will require exploring innovative design methods, materials and manufacturing approaches to realize cost-effective, customizable and conformal antennas. An attractive solution to this challenge is offered by additive ...

The advanced amplifier system will allow military aircraft to be tested for EMP hardness.

AURA Technologies proposes to continue the development of key components of the next generation tactical power grid. Our innovations allow for the grid to provide far more than reliable, stable power.

The Air Force desires technologies demonstrating value and commercial success in non-defense applications which will solve current Air Force problems. Gears are central functioning parts to most mechanical systems such as engine transmissions. Fuel consumption and maintenance costs are significantly increased due to efficiency losses resulting from friction and wear of gears. The development of ch ...

Corvid Technologies, LLC proposes the following technical approach to enhance the state-of-the-art in hard kill active protection system (APS) end-game modeling. End-game refers to the effects (both overpressure and fragmentation) APS countermeasures have on incoming threats. In order to develop and evaluate hard kill APS systems, those that defeat threats by physically damaging/degrading them to ...

We propose to create a system that integrates simulation capabilities into design software that will allow MDA the ability to quickly vet new AM parts with 150x improvement in efficiency. This will allow more machine up time, less cost, and faster design iterations.

To reach the end user, oil and gas production at the wellhead must be transmitted through the country and distributed to a wide range of customers. This logistical system requires natural gas gathering lines, processing facilities, product storage tanks and lots of other equipment. What results is air pollution caused by industry losses during these operations and the use of continuous or intermit ...

The objective of this program is to develop a practical and cost effective Active Electronically Steerable Array (AESA) for the purpose of Low and Medium Earth Orbit satellite networks. An AESA product would offer three distinct advantages over commonly used parabolic reflector antennas: 1. A low profile flat panel form factor, 2: Reduction (or possible elimination) of a mechanical positioning sys ...

A pulsed high voltage DC power supply will be used drive an atmospheric pressure plasma reactor with the goal of developing a conceptual design for the purpose of depositing extended solids. The reactor falls within the category of a dielectric barrier discharge where a dielectric barrier covers at least one of the two parallel plate electrodes. It is a non-equilibrium reactor where electron tempe ...
