Decisive Analytics proposes build a executive sensor resource management algorithm that (1) extends the algorithm successfully demonstrated in Phase I to globally task sensors to meet system tracking and discrimination needs; (2) is tailored to work with discrimination fusion engine algorithms currently being deployed to be BMDS; and (3) is compatible with future system requirements for which ther ...

Under this Phase II SBIR, the Decisive Analytics Corporation (DAC) team proposes two advanced capabilities that are not currently supported in the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). Employing ground-breaking techniques developed under Phase I of this effort for describing and solving the problems of tracking and discrimination within a single Bayesian network model, we propose the developmen ...

The availability of large format, multicolor, high performance infrared focal plane arrays is of the utmost importance to future DoD missions. The semiconductor HgCdTe is the material of choice for multicolor arrays due to its bandgap tunabilitythroughout the infrared spectral range and its high quantum efficiency. Present day 2nd generation focal plane array technology, based on the hybridizati ...

Microwave Technologies Incorporated proposes the prototype development of a compact cold-cathode electron buncher (CCEB) which is well-suited for applications such as sensor systems for ballistic missile defense. The CCEB will provide high-frequencyelectron bunches by combining the features of novel microscopic vacuum triodes with the he robust and reliable solid-state technology. It should prov ...

Accurate collateral damage assessment is of critical importance for missile defense because determining the likelihood of a successful intercept kill is required for efficient interceptor tasking. This is especially critical for first generation missile defense systems that are likely to only have a limited number of interceptors available to address a very wide spectrum of threats. The primary go ...

In the Phase 1 Feasibility Study, we examined weapon-target engagement scheduling problem, and developed a rapid software prototype to demonstrate automated, optimized, scheduling with the use of simulated realistic missile battle scenarios. Scheduling of an intercept launch was predicated on the engageability and lethality of the weapon-target pairings: Lethal intercept opportunities for all weap ...

The Navy and other defense agencies have the need for high quality deposited materials with uniques and novel microstructures that exhibit pyrophoric activity. UTRON, Inc. proposes a new and innovative approach to producing coating structures utilizingPulsed Plasma Spary Forming Technology. This is based on a repetitively pulsed plasma jey generated by a capillary arc duscharge. the pulsed plasm ...
