MZA proposes a Directed Energy Decision System (DEEDS) inspired by the considerable experience MZA has gained in system modeling and atmospheric characterization for effects modeling and our progress made under the initial Phase II contract.  The approach relies on numerical weather prediction or real-time meteorological and turbulence measurements data input to Laser Environmental Effects Defini ...

During the Phase II effort, Ballydel Technologies will develop scalable and safe processes for the manufacture of MAX phase and MXene powders in 1Kg batch sizes.  Additionally, our team will implement commercial-scale mixing procedures for the production

This program addresses the Space Force need for an improved optical system to provide persistent location and change detection monitoring of GEO-belt satellite orbits.  The RSOs (Resident Space Objects) can be in either stable and unstable orbits, and oft

Goodman Technologies (GT) patented and patent pending additively manufactured (AM) nanocomposite materials, registered trademark GTNANO®, are dual-use and include AM silicon carbide mirrors and telescopes, and  advanced radiation shielding that employs na

This proposal for Phase II in response to the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) topic 212-006 “Algorithm that can locally link radiation detectors (of different resolutions) to enhance identification/ localization capability”. The topic describes the need for an algorithm to support the fusion of multiple and varied detector outputs into actionable information. The specific focus is to id ...

Dual Sense proposes to develop a cross deck pendant (CDP) inspection sensor based on detecting ultrasonic guided wave echoes arising from any broken wires in the CDP cable. The proposed sensor will be designed to be rugged, compact, man-portable, immune to EMI, and able to work in all weather conditions on a ship deck.

The Technical Problem: The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) and the broader Department of Defense (DOD) require operational agility that can only be achieved through the implementation of Software Defined Weapon Systems. In today's modern systems,

Quality control tools for compound semiconductor operations are desired to provide cost and time savings. 8D Photonics (www.8Dphotonics.com) has been providing the infrared community with the capability to perform cryogenic wafer mapping of minority carrier lifetime and photoluminescence spectra since its inception in 2016. The 8D IR Pioneer wafer mapping system has already demonstrated cooling an ...

There is a growing need to accurately characterize nuclear materials not only for nuclear safeguards and nonproliferation treaty verification but also for forensics and provenance. At present, nuclear material identification requires samples to be collected and sent to laboratories for analysis using large and expensive equipment, such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (ICP-MS) or s ...

The munitions lifting assembly sunshade cover (Thermavent-SD) is a lightweight Static Dissipative (SD) cover system for use on the A/E32K-11 Munitions Lifting Assembly (MLA).  It is designed to provide >70% solar radiation blockage while functioning in a wide range of environments consistent with military operations.  The Thermavent-SD cover will be designed to be authorized for use by the Naval ...
