The project team will develop the EdMod platform for special education practitioners to enter and track information specific to IEPs, such as diagnosis classification, goals, and data collection of those goals. The platform will then generate research-based strategies for teachers to support students with or at risk for disabilities during classroom instruction or in testing. The platform will pre ...

In this project, the team will develop a performance-based lab for the high school level. The Inq-ITS Performance Based Labs for High School Physics and Physical Science will integrate "using mathematics" practices with other science practices to study physics/physical science phenomena. An accompanying teacher dashboard will generate immediate, diagnostic, and actionable alerts driven by algorith ...

Physical Sciences Inc., proposes to develop and demonstrate a scale-up process for a desensitized oxidizer ingredient for composite propellants by coating it with targeted compounds that have shown to enhance its thermal stability at low pre-ignition temperatures of composite propellants. In Phase II, we will build on the Phase I success to develop a scalable coating process that is affordable and ...

Diode-Pumped Alkali Laser (DPAL) systems have great potential for missile defense and other applications. These systems require a uniform, steady, flowing mixture of helium and rubidium vapor at elevated pressure and temperature. Significant challenges exist because rubidium is a very reactive material. Our team has developed a contamination-free, hermetic circulator based on gas-bearing turbomach ...

The benefit to DOD is the ability to increase the performance capabilities of missile interceptors. The primary market for the proposed technology is for missile EO/IR windows and domes for seekers and interceptors for DOD prime contractors, which we estimate be more than $21,000,000. Other potential markets are body armor, windows for high power lasers, rugged widows for LIDAR for automobiles and ...

The proposed effort is a follow-on project to mature and extend BlueRISC's UniQore secure, soft-core processor and associated toolkit. The UniQore toolkit automatically co-creates a per-device-unique, configurable secure processor, as well as associated enabling software build environment, enabling unique execution environments, instruction set, and protected memory interfaces. The unique executio ...

The Phase II project combines existing innovative machine data collection with machine learning to create an Intelligent Dynamic Data Logging system that enables MDA to increase the volume of simulation executions to tens of thousands or more annually. Data logging is a foundational component of missile defense simulation but applies to other industries and markets. Examples include self-driving v ...

SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2) proposes to design and develop an improved dual-band datalink antenna suite for various BMD platforms. We will leverage our validated Phase II X-band datalink antenna design, as well as our initial S-band datalink antenna design to refine and optimize a form-factor dual-band antenna suite for the guidance section of various BMD platforms. The proposed antenna suite is ...

The proposed printed radiation shielding technology will afford robust microelectronics protection without the size, weight, power, cost, and schedule burden of conventional shield approaches. SI2’s shielding solution also has application to electronics used in satellites, nuclear facilities, and medical facilities. Approved for Public Release | 19-MDA-9932 (21 Feb 19)

Future space missions will utilize small spacecraft with advanced sensor systems. Cooling of these sensors is required to decrease noise and increase sensitivity by maintaining the detector at a reduced operating temperature. The cooling system comprises a mechanical cryocooler and its control electronics, both of which are critical technologies to enable future missions. Creare proposes to develo ...
