Optical Remote Detection of Low Level Earth Surface Vibrations
SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES, INC Topic: AF12BT02ABSTRACT: Underground facilities can be used by rogue governments to conceal command-and-control and to manufacture weapons of mass destruction, and are an increasingly important operational challenge to U.S. military forces. Our objective is to determine improved methods of detection essential to address this critical intelligence need. Activity below the ground causes seismic surface waves th ...

High-Speed Three-Channel Photonic Time Delay Unit
SBC: AGILTRON, INC. Topic: MDA08T012An 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 ...

Modeling Operator Reasoning and Performance for Human-in-Control Simulation (MORPHIC)
SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC. Topic: MDA12T006Propose development of a human-in-control (HIC) modeling capability that can: (1) represent the breadth of operator decision-making processes across missile defense elements, (2) scale to deliver the appropriate level of fidelity, and (3) be extensible to future operator needs. To provide this HIC modeling capability, we propose to develop and evaluate a full-scope prototype of Modeling Operato ...

Ultra-High Density Ion Propulsion From Ionic Liquids
SBC: BUSEK CO., INC. Topic: AF11BT10ABSTRACT: Busek Co. Inc. and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) propose to explore the physical limits of ionic liquid propulsion via development of new theory to explain effects of close packing emission density and to predict performance limits. The research is motivated by observations and tests demonstrating that emission from 2-dimensional porous surfaces yields order of magnitude g ...

Multi-Physics, Multi-Functional Nano-Engineered Composites for Structural Health Monitoring
SBC: METIS DESIGN CORP Topic: AF08BT23ABSTRACT: Composite materials are increasingly adopted into Aerospace application due to their superior specific strength/stiffness, resistance to fatigue and ability to reduce part-count. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that by introducing carbon nanotubes (CNTs), multi-functional capabilities can be achieved by virtue of their high conductivity and piezoresistive nature. During the prop ...

Frequency Agile Sensor for Trace Explosives Detection
SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC. Topic: AF08BT26ABSTRACT: In collaboration with Sandia National Laboratory, Physical Sciences Inc (PSI) proposes to design, develop, and demonstrate a Frequency Agile Terahertz Sensor (FATS) for trace explosives residue detection. The critical frequency agile terahertz (THz) detector is based on an electronically tunable plasmonic grating-gate technology developed by our collaborators at Sandia. The Phase I ...

Electromagnetic Simulation Software for Strongly Coupled Plasmas
SBC: VOSS SCIENTIFIC LLC Topic: AF11BT23ABSTRACT: Strong coupling in ionized plasmas occurs when inter-particle interactions result in correlation energies that are comparable to the mean kinetic energy of the thermal motion of individual particles. Strongly coupled plasmas are known to be present in a number of physical systems including ultra-cold plasmas created in the laboratory and present in the ionosphere, explosive gases associ ...
