In collaboration with the "Agile Innovation Process" project team, this proposal will complete the monolithic fabrication of the nano-optic filter array structure directly onto the CMOS detector arr ...

To reduce the cost of new hardware development, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is developing fast new computational tools that enable in-the-loop hardware testing. The MDA and contractors have developed high-fidelity scene modeling tools such as the Fast Line-of-sight Imagery for Target and Exhaust-plume Signatures (FLITES) to test optical signature trackers. Currently, these high-speed tools ar ...

An innovative, super-miniature, fast-switching array-based photonic time delay device is being developed for the active electronically scanned-array (AESA) MDA and Navy radars. The design is based on the fast electro-optic effect, the super miniature fiber-lens collimation array, and the existing WDM photonic true time delay technologies. In Phase I Agiltron has successfully demonstrated the core ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I project focuses on the development of high temperature resins and tapes and their use in automated tape placement (ATP) fabrication with in-situ electron beam cure. Thermoplastic polymer matrix ATP and layer-by-layer electron beam curing ATP (EB-ATP) have been identified as among the most promising techniques for achieving autoclave properties in AT ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project aims to capitalize on the Phase I success of Novel OptoCeramic Materials for High Efficiency Ceramic Lasers. During Phase I period, tasks were investigated and critical issues related to the proposed approach were addressed. Extensive research has been conducted and a lot of results have been obtained which will be very valuable for ...

High-fidelity missile plume flowfield simulations of MDA interest require use of detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms, which significantly improve IR/UV/RCS/visible signature prediction but entail long solution runtimes for completion. These long runtimes result from the required iterative solution of large systems of stiff, non-linear chemical source terms at each CFD mesh point; this curtails t ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project will produce an advanced parallel computational tool for unified prediction of continuum and rarefied flow over reusable launch vehicles of real world complexity. The technology will be an enhancement of the Digital Physics technology based on Lattice Boltzmann Methods (LBM). The project will start with development and implementation ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I research project targets performance of GaAs-based heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT). The high power and high frequency characteristics of these HBTs have led to their use as the power amplifier for several wireless applications such as cellular phones and wireless local area networks. The gain of a fabricated HBT increases by as much a ...
