Durable and robust large-area ultrathin CNT sheets can be produced from pristine CNT sheets following proprietary CNT purification and densification processes. The resulting CNT sheets are free-standing, flexible, durable, robust, ultrathin (< 5 m) and lightweight (~6 g per m2). They withstand corrosion and heat and are superior at shielding EMI (effectiveness >= 55 dB in the X band).

Managing multi-level risks ranging from the fiscal/personnel resources to fluctuating material/production costs have always been challenges due to the integrated nature of Air Force (AF) with governmental and industrial partners.Establishing a quantitative framework that provides basis for making informed decisions on these pressing issues can greatly impact how Air Force strategically allocate va ...

Petal is a novel bio-solar proposal to generate power using plant photosynthetic proteins combined to nanotubes bonded to a conductive substrate.The use of this architecture should allow for high efficiencies in the capture and harvest of photons and the generation of solar power in a very flexible format.This format will allow for scaling from micro to industrial scales.

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, ...

In this SBIR effort we will develop an ultra-compact, high-speed, low RIN and high-power transmitter for high-performance RF photonic link applications based on our cutting-edge lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) modulator. In phase I, we will design, fabricate and characterize a low Vp, push-and-pull LNOI modulator. We will study the optical couplings at the laser/modulator/fiber interfaces to a ...

The overall goal of this project is to develop an in-process defect monitoring and correction technique for additive manufacturing (AM) of aluminum alloy to improve repeatability for geometric dimensions, material properties, and quality. In Phase I, Sentient collaborated with Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, and successfully completed all proposed tasks demonstrating two key capabili ...

This project will investigate the use of offensive binary analysis techniques to extract data from program binaries for use by a runtime diagnostic engine capable of malware detection and response. The open-source Angr framework provides the basis for the tools used to collect the analysis data needed to support a diagnostic engine. A diagnostic engine capable of using these collected results will ...

Accurate and timely weather information for situational awareness is critical to the success of Air Force missions.To date, space-borne sensors for weather forecasting primarily include visible, infrared, and microwave instruments.While visible and infrared sensors have reached a high level of maturity and performance, those operating in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum continu ...

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 Army is frequently forced to operate in hostile climates. Heavy fog, rain, snow, and dust storms can inhibit the performance of tracking technologies such as mid-wave infrared cameras. In such conditions, Army early warning systems are blinded and put personnel and assets at risk.There is a specific need for a degraded visual environment (DVE) penetrative target tracking solution.Radio frequen ...
