Distributed System for Field Detection of Stray Energy from Laser Weapons
SBC: ADVANCED FUEL RESEARCH, INC. Topic: AF05313A number of high-energy laser weapons currently under development by and for the U.S. military will provide our armed forces with capabilities that are unmatched by conventional armaments. Laser weapons allow targets to be destroyed from remote locations without the delays associated with the transit of typical missiles and artillery shells. However, during engagement the laser radiation reflect ...

Propulsion System Performance and Health Monitor
SBC: ADVANCED FUEL RESEARCH, INC. Topic: AF05192The innovation proposed is a flight-worthy optical sensor that will monitor propulsion system performance and health characteristics, including identifying the onset of combustion instability, in air-breathing engines such as turbojets and ramjets. It is an innovation for three reasons: 1) the sensing is performed in the hot exhaust flow at the back of the engine instead of at the flame-front in t ...

Novel Structural Joining Concepts Using 3-D Textile Preforms and Composites
SBC: 3TEX, Inc. Topic: AF05248Strength and durability of commonly used bonded and bolted composite-to-composite and composite-to-metal structural joints suffer from sharp geometry variations, mismatch of elastic moduli, Poisson's ratios, coefficients of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity of the adherends, altogether causing high stress concentration and premature joint failure. The proposed work introduces several nove ...
