We propose to create a system that integrates simulation capabilities into design software that will allow MDA the ability to quickly vet new AM parts with 150x improvement in efficiency. This will allow more machine up time, less cost, and faster design iterations.

The objective of this proposal is to develop dual-use, real-time simulation technologies that leverage Department of Defense (DoD) High Level Architecture (HLA) concepts to enable advanced technology demonstrations to be conducted in a laboratory generated synthetic battlespace. Radiance proposes to integrate the Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL) Threatlab with the Integrated Demonstrations ...

Sanders Design International (SDI), Wilton, NH proposes an innovative defensive countermeasure against man portable air defense system (MANPADS) weapons to 15,000 feet altitude. Sanders Infrared Counter Measure (SICM) system is proposed for installation on commercial airliners and legacy military aircraft for protection of aircraft and personnel, during take-off, low-level flight, and landing situ ...

Solid State Scientific Corporation is pleased to propose a Phase II program to enhance the state of current missile threat warning systems. A new algorithm concept using up to four MWIR color bands will be explored for identifying and declaring threats approaching threats while rejecting stationary or receding targets as clutter. The band pass of the four narrow-band filters in the MWIR will be ...

During the Phase 1 effort Streamline Automation demonstrated that the use of a bushing assembly, when paired with the appropriate flexible shaft coupling, could significantly reduce the loads on the shaft of Angular Displacement Transducers (ADTs). These ADTs are currently used as position indicators for quarter turn valves in the ASTF at AEDC. The ADTs are subjected to high vibrational loads du ...

The 7V and 10V space chambers at Arnold Air Force Base are deep space environment simulators developed to test high performance interceptors and surveillance sensors in deep space conditions (20K background temperature).The chambers operate over the visible to Long Wave Infrared portions of the spectra.The proposed spectrometer will be designed for integration into either space chamber to assist i ...

GeneCapture, Inc. is proposing to develop a rapid in vitro diagnostic prototype using our patented molecular-based CAPTURE (ConfirmActive Pathogens Through Unamplified RNA Expression) assay. Based on the results and experience gained in our Phase I STTR contractHDTRA1-16C-0061: Infectious Disease Diagnostics and Differentiation of Viral vs. Bacterial Infections for Point of Care Applications, we p ...

Flow fields characterized by the simultaneous presence of continuum and rarefied regimes arise in many important applications, including re-entry of aerospace vehicles and micro-fluidics. This project aims to develop a commercial Unified Flow Solver (UFS) that automatically switches between and couples the continuum-fluid-dynamics and kinetic solvers needed for these two regimes. The UFS will maxi ...

The skin is the first line of defense against chemical warfare agents including nerve agents and toxic industrial chemicals, providing a possible barrier or delay to systemic distribution. Some chemicals also can act directly on the skin including the vesicants sulfur mustard and lewisite. Early and rapid skin decontamination is extremely important following exposure to CWAs and TICs because it de ...

Improvements in the speed and efficacy of enterprise strategic, operational and tactical decision and control (e.g., military command and control) require application of sophisticated automation. Such automation, particularly in support of collaboration among distributed autonomous entities, must provide for the dynamic engagement of individuals from allied enterprises into freely-associative com ...
