During this program, multifunctional (smart) piping system technology will be developed for used on the Airborne Laser (ABL). This system, which was demonstrated in phase I, has a multifunctional design with integrated containment and leak detection functionality. The smart piping system design uses lightweight materials in conjunction with integrated sensors to achieve an advanced lightweight pi ...

Applied Physical Sciences Corp. (APS) proposes the Phase II development of an Acoustic Intensity Localization System (AILS). AILS utilizes a vector hydrophone to measure the latitude-longitude offset to an acoustic projector attached to surface buoy whose position is known via GPS. A major advantage of the AILS concept is that it can operate with extreme precision even at relatively low frequenc ...

This SBIR Phase I project will develop a health and motion monitoring sensor and analysis system to support the return of military personnel with prosthetic devices to active duty. DoD is allowing increasing numbers of Soldiers with prosthetics to return to active duty if they are performance capable, minimizing the loss of their valuable core expertise to the services. There are significant cha ...

Phase I work wil focus on developing a stabilizer which surrounds the high temperature superconductor, with improved mechanical strength. To date, silver (Ag) has been the preferred stabilizer because it allows oxygen to easily penetrate during heat treatments and does not adversely react with the HTS material, decreasing the superconducting properties. However, the mechanical properties of anneal ...

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Military Satellite Communication (MILSATCOM), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have a current and future need for advanced commercially available inherently radhard primitive cell libraries to support new designs for satellites and other spacecraft. American Semiconductor Inc. proposes the use of double gated Flexfet technology for ...

HIGH DETECTIVITY II-VI SEMICONDUCTOR FAR-IR DETECTOR ARRAYS HAVE EXISTED FOR OVER A DECADE. THEY ARE THE ENABLING COMPONENT IN IR IMAGING DEVICES USED IN CRITICAL MILITARY SURVEILLANCE AND WEAPONS GUIDANCE SYSTEMS. HOWEVER, THERE DETECTORS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL APPLICATIONS BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE COOLING TO CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES. CONSEQUENTLY, THERE IS A NEED TO DEVELOP NEW PROCESS TO FABRICATE ...

AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH IS PROPOSED TO DEVELOP AN INLET/FAN COMPRESSION SYSTEM DESIGN METHODOLOGY FOR THOSE COMPONENTS FOR WHICH THE INLET AND FAN HAVE A STRONG MUTUAL INTERDEPENDENCE AND CANNOT BE CONSIDERED SEPARATELY. THE PROPOSED PHASE I/PHASE II EFFORT WOULD BE PERFORMED WITH SRA AS THE PRIME CONTRACTOR AND TELEDYNE CAE AS A SUBCONTRACTOR. UNDER THIS PROGRAM AN EXISTING STATE-OF-THE-ART NAVIER ...

Aerodyn proposes to develop a new concept in slip ring design that would culminate in a new class of high speed slip rings that could operate up to 90,000 RPM with 50 contacts (25 channels), be capable of handling temperatures up to 700 °F without external cooling support, have a bandwidth of 200 KHz, weigh less than 2 lb, and be designed to directly support new developments in small turboshaft e ...
