The development of a burn-in process for high power MWIR and LWIR Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) is proposed. The new burn-in process will be rooted in extensive statistical experimental data to be collected in Phase I and Phase II of this program. This will allow us to extract all the critical empirical parameters required for mean-time-to-failure (MTTF) projections for high power MWIR and LWIR de ...

Military instructors do not have the time or support necessary to achieve mastery or even ensure continued professional development during their tenure as instructors. Teaching skill must develop to adequate levels in the early months of the typical three-year tenure and continue to grow and progress after initial formal training. Each formal school in the Marine Corps has a unique method of initi ...

Mission readiness is highly dependent upon the quality of instruction units receive; thus, it is critical that military instructors develop instructional competencies, along with domain expertise, to adequately promote relevant KSAs among trainees. Unlike civilian career educators, military instructors are not often afforded the time or resources to fully develop their teaching skills prior to ins ...

Military instructors need instructional competencies and domain expertise in order to adequately train warfighters for mission readiness. However, they are not often afforded the time, resources, or computer-based, self-guided learning opportunities to fully develop teaching skills prior to instructional duty. Design Interactive, Inc. will develop the Interactive Military Instructor Training and A ...

This Phase I proposal will utilize multivariate regression, including cluster and principal component analysis to categorize lots of HTPB R-45M based on their physicochemical properties. Artificial intelligence-driven pattern recognition analysis will be performed on a variety of HTPB characterization data and spectra. Categorized data will be assessed against measured outcomes (pot life, mechanic ...

Not Available The design of LADAR systems varies widely with application and platform requiring custom designs which increase cost and complexity and limit the commercial applicability. To address this issue, CTI proposes a unique, modular optical waveguide amplifier (WGA) based transmitter which can be adapted to coherent and direct detection transceivers over a wide range of repetition rates an ...

SubChem Systems proposes to design and develop a compact, low power submersible chemical analyzer payload for deployment on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV). The primary objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing a Micro AUV Ready Chemical (MARCHEM) Analyzer. This device will be capable of performing real-time, rapid response measurements of trace chemicals in ...

"This SBIR Phase II project involves the development, testing and integration of a submersible solvent extraction module (SubSEM), tested in an SBIR Phase I feasibility study, with a miniature optical analytical detection system for the continuous sampling,pre-concentration, and chemical analysis of TNT present at ultra-trace concentration levels in seawater. The integrated underwater sampling and ...

Develop a concept for an innovative acoustically transparent mid-frequency SONAR projector. Demonstrate that the concept can feasibly meet requirements in the Description through modeling and simulation or analysis. The Phase I Option, if exercised, shall include the initial system specifications, models and capabilities description to build a prototype solution in Phase II
