TAF proposes to Reverse Engineer the McNab Circuit Card Assembly, NSN identified by DLA, 5998-01-276-2156, using available adjacent and salvaged parts. TAF will create a Technical Data Package (TDP), manufacture and test prototypes, develop a Source Approval Request package, and ultimately deliver 5-10 working sample parts for Source Approval. The NSN is a critical Circuit Card Assembly — more c ...

The Air Force desires to procure parts to Drawing WRG95936, however, obsolesce of materials and the loss of the previous supplier no longer in this business, makes finding an alternative source necessary. Validation of new materials is required. Chase has the pedigree history from the previous source and relative experience to assure form, fit, functionality of the new part.

Geomagnetically induced current (GIC) hazard is a recognized threat to the United States power system. Federal models to support hazard specification and prediction for critical infrastructure are at an advanced state, including models of space weather, the Earth’s conductive structure, and regional geoelectric field. We propose to use existing NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (NOAA-SWPC) mo ...

Technology Service Corporation (TSC) proposes to identify Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) scenarios of interest, and assess a wide variety of advanced state-of-the-art Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies for post-intercept and other forms of debris, clutter, and electronic attack/electronic protection (EA/EP) applications in missile defense radars. The stu ...

Talos Tech proposes to develop a high voltage and capacitance biocarbon-based supercapacitor by integrating unique biocarbon materials with hierarchical pores and high voltage electrolyte. The novel biocarbon materials will be fabricated by a facile low temperature process from natural abundant plant cellulose and agents. Approved for Public Release | 19-MDA-10270 (18 Nov 19)

This proposal offers a solution to provide near real-time processing of large-format imaging sensors with a heterogeneous combination of central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), and field programmable gate array (FPGA) resources. In phase I, evaluate several candidate devices, perform preliminary architecture and trade studies, and create a laboratory proof of concept unit to ...

Plan to develop materials and processes for the additive manufacturing of thermal protection and management materials and systems for hypersonic vehicles. NanoSonic will extrude standard monofilament of a polymer derived ceramic consisting of a low temperature polymer binder and high temperature carbide and nitride powder fillers. The polymer derived ceramic will be designed to have two effective ...

In response to MDA’s needs for non-eroding throats for controllable axial upper stages , UTRON proposes an innovative near net shape fabrication technology called High Pressure Combustion Driven Powder Compaction (CDC) with tremendous potential for cost-effective manufacturing of advanced cermet type of alloys of ceramics such as micro/nano HfC, HfB2, HfN, ZrC and/or with high temperature ductil ...

Next generation Radars (NGR) for MDA will advance closer to the ideal of a fully digitized array and digital beamforming. In a conventional phased array radar (PAR), analog beamforming networks reduce the entire array into a few combined beams (e.g., sum beam, difference beams) at X-band. Next generation PAR will use a hybrid approach, forming many subarray beams in analog, and then performing a ...

Computational Physics, Inc. (CPI) proposes to develop prototype first-principle cloud and terrain physics models integrated into a robust and extensible component architecture that facilitates the assessment of the impact of terrain and cloud radiance and irradiance in the UV/VIS/IR wavebands on missile defense systems. The prototype will also be used to demonstrate support for observational forec ...
