ABSTRACT:We propose to develop and demonstrate component technologies, interfaces, and software necessary to build a prototype Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) projection system with high dynamic range and fast frame rates. More specifically, final hardware deliverables for this project include three (3) tested hybrid modules that integrate a 1024x1024 24-micron pitch SWIR LED emitter array with a match ...

ABSTRACT: This project aims to develop a Short Wave Infrared band image projector to provide real time detector stimulation with high dynamic range. Our emitter technology is based on GaInAsSb quaternary semiconductor LED arrays hybridized to CMOS read-in integrated circuits. This project leverages read-in circuit design and control electronics that were developed under SLEDS - a longer wavelengt ...

THE SYSTEM TO BE DESIGNED FOR ON-SITE, IN-FIELD PROGRAMMING TO ACHIEVE THE MAXIMUM MISSION ORIENTED,ERGONOMIC PERFORMANCE. SYSTEM SOFTWARE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, CAUSAL ACT AND REACT EVALUATION, AND ASSESSMEN ...

THE MECHANISM BY WHICH HALOGENATED AGENTS ACTS AS FLAME SUPPRESSANTS HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF EXTENSIVE RESEARCH FOR ABOUT 35 YEARS. THE UNDERGROUND MINING INDUSTRY LOOKING FOR A WAY TO BLAST IN UNDERGROUND MINE SHAFTS OFTEN RICH IN METHANE GAS HAVE USED THIS CONCEPT IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT OF "PERMISSIBLE EXPLOSIVES." BY ADDING SALTS TO STANDARD EXPLOSIVES FORMULATIONS, THE FIREBALL CAUSED BY A DETON ...

APPROXIMATELY 15 YEARS AGO THE U.S. MILITARY EVALUATED COMMERCIAL SLURRY EXPLOSIVES. AT THAT TIME SLURRY EXPLOSIVES WAS IN ITS INFANCY. STANDARD OFF THE SHELF PRODUCTS WERE EVALUATED. FOR MANY REASONS (STORAGE PROBLEMS, CORROSIVITY, TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS, PERFORMANCE, SENSITIVITY) SLURRIES WERE CATEGORICALLY LABELED UNSUITABLE. OFF THE SHELF COMMERCIAL SLURRIES WILL NEVER BE PARTICULARLY SUITED ...

Smartphones and other mobile devices are becoming Air Force users primary digital tool, overtaking computers and desk phones as their go-to devices. However, these commercial devices, which are carried with users everywhere, are susceptible to being comprised by overreaching applications and bad actors.Privoros SafeCase platform, commercially available since November 2018, an independent of the sm ...

Knowledge-Based Systems Incorporated (KBSI) proposes Simulation in Behaviors and Decisions (SinBaD) in response to the Navy SBIR Warfighting Chess Games and Pieces (topic number N181-083). We will demonstrate proof-of-concept simulation components that have the capability to pit smart red/gray forces against smart blue forces to aid development of timely and effective decision support tools. This ...

"Work is proposed to demonstrate the feasibility of a catalytic ignition system that can be retrofitted to a light-weight, silent-running, 1 kW generator, allowing it to be satisfactorily operated on heavy fuels such as diesel and JP-8. Gensetmodifications will be closely allied to catalytic igniter technology pioneered by Automotive Resources Incorporated that enables alternative fuel combustion ...

In this SBIR effort we will develop a high-power, high-speed photodiode (PD) receiver optimized for operation at 1 micron wavelength based on collaboration with Dr. J.C. Campbells research group at the UVA. Demand of such photonic receiver arose from the urgent need of high performance microwave photonic links that replace the conventional metal cables for better SWaP, immunity to EMI and broader ...

Diode rectifiers are one of the basic building blocks of any power system, ranging from common household appliances to motor controllers to power distribution systems to advanced military weapons and vehicles. Silicon technology for high voltage diodes islimited to ~9 kV. For higher voltage applications, multiple diodes must be used in series, raising the problems of uniform voltage distribution ...
