Contractor will develop innovative concepts and techniques to develop target recognition approaches focused on cognitive synthesis of current and emerging sensor data sources.(Approved for Public Release 15-MDA-8482 (17 November 15))

This Phase I SBIR program seeks a new fabrication method to produce stronger and tougher ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) composites with an outstanding oxidation and thermal shock resistance for use as components for tactical propulsion applications.UES will apply a novel "Hybrid-Clad" approach to achieve lightweight composites, along with the "Top Down" process to control the microstructure ...

We propose to design and demonstrate the feasibility of Remediation for Adaptive Missile Planners through Gamified Resilience Training (RAMPART). RAMPART provides game-based training with broad and dynamic training scenarios generated with mixed-initiative scenario authoring and scored by a combination of targeted and system-level performance metrics, wargaming, and skill assessment. Scenarios are ...

Two-dimensional (2-D) midwave and longwave infrared (MWIR/LWIR) emitter arrays are of great importance in numerous military and commercial applications, including infrared (IR) scene generation and infrared detection system emulation, IR radiometric duplication and counter measurement, medical applications and spectroscopic trace-gas sensing. Existing technologies have limited dynamic range. This ...

Wavelet Technologies, Inc. (WTI) proposes to advance the state of the art for phased array technology deployed on missile defense assets using fractal antenna design principles. These designs will be produced using WTIs proprietary approach to antenna optimization operating on our 32 processor computer. Our software will be extended to optimize conformal antennas and arrays in deployment on missil ...

CRG proposes to develop a low-cost, multifunctional thermal protection material system based on CRGs high-temperature MG resin systems. The unique features of these materials will allow for thermal protection, combined with structural contribution, and electrical protection properties integral to the material system. CRGs MG material platform is a lightweight composite system that combines a non-f ...

The goal of this program is to develop solid state power amplifier technologies as a potential replacement for klystron tubes in future communication systems. High voltage gallim nitride (GaN) High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) based Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) will be designed to provide the amplifier block. High power blocks are combined into a high power module (Brick ...

Conductor faults can be devastating to a mission; having an embedded fault that is not detectable by current test and quality methods is a latent defect and impairs the integrity of the electrical wiring system.One such fault, Red Plague, is currently only found after damage has occurred (often not located until stored wire is stripped prior to installation or after installed wire is stripped duri ...

BlueRISCs proposed solution to provide irrefutable tamper evidence in a system that does not contain write-once memory, relies on its UniQore secure processor to manage tamper events and the associated logging mechanisms in a protected and tamper resilient fashion.By relying on UniQores inherent tamper resiliency via its security-centric configurable architecture, when inserted into COTS systems c ...

Next generation missile defense systems require power supplies with higher energy densities and longer run times. Innovation in reserve battery technology improving size, weight, run time, and manufacturability are needed to meet new requirements. Thermal reserve batteries are among the most widespread and reliable power supplies for missile defense systems. Performance gains in these systems will ...
