Bayesian Inference of Spacecraft Geometry and Pose
SBC: VISION SYSTEMS INC Topic: AF17AT007Space platforms are complex dynamical systems and there are many reasons to model them from ground telescope imagery as well as from space-based sensor platforms. One key motivation is to determine the operational state and configuration of the vehicle. Key questions such as did the solar panels fail to deploy, did the object begin to tumble unexpectedly may be addressed by a sufficiently detaile ...

Automated 3D Reconstruction and Pose Estimation of Space Objects Using Ground Based Telescope Imagery
SBC: STELLAR SCIENCE LTD. CO. Topic: AF17AT007Stellar Science, in collaboration with the University of Maryland, proposes to develop algorithms to demonstrate the feasibility of constructing three-dimensional (3D) models of satellites using ground-based imagery on a standard PC in under 15 minutes. The Phase I effort will address the challenge of registering two-dimensional (2D) images of satellites where traditional feature matchers frequent ...

Tool to Predict High-Power Electromagnetic Effects on Mobile Targets
SBC: XL SCIENTIFIC LLC Topic: AF15AT05With computer-based systems becoming ubiquitous in all aspects of civilian and military hardware, weaponized high power microwave (HPM) sources pose a danger to the U.S. defense, logistic, and economic infrastructure. Of particular concern is the reliability and survivability of U.S. military aerial assets in the presence of intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI) from HPM sources.A compre ...

Unified sensor for atmospheric turbulence and refractivity characterization
SBC: MZA ASSOCIATES CORPORATION Topic: AF17AT008MZA partnered with the Michigan Technological University (MTU) proposes to develop an atmospheric characterization sensor which unifies the measurement of atmospheric turbulence and refractivity through target-in-the-loop measurements, requiring no augmentation of the target or equipment on the other end of the path. We image multi-wavelength target illumination and remove atmospheric blurring us ...

Progressively Expanded Neural Network (PENnet) Tracker
SBC: MZA ASSOCIATES CORPORATION Topic: AF17AT027We propose to develop a multi-layer tracking framework that integrates feature-based, motion-based, and deep-learning-based tracking. Our proposal consist of two development tasks and two research exploration efforts. Our team proposes to develop the Progressively Expanded Neural Network (PENnet) Tracker, a deep learning based tracker capable of on-the-go training of the target. The PENnet Trac ...

Surface Deformation Measurements Using Light Modulation Imaging
SBC: SOUTHWEST SCIENCES INC Topic: AF15AT38ABSTRACT: Hypersonic vehicles will require structures that can withstand highly transient flows and complex loadings throughout the flight trajectory. Shock boundary-layer interaction can excite panels locally and lead to structural failures. Non-contacting measurement technologies are needed to characterize the effect of flow transients (due to pressure and temperature fluctuations) on the struct ...

Protection of DoD Satellite Communications Against RF Interferences and Personal Mobile Telecommunications
SBC: TAU TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: AF14AT17ABSTRACT: The United States relies heavily on force multiplying, space-based navigation, communications and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. These satellites populate all orbital regimes including low-earth orbit (LEO), medium earth orbit (MEO) and geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) and frequently require complex ground station network support requirements. Miltary ...

Impact of Hypersonic Flight Environment on Electro-Optic/Infrared (EO/IR) Sensors
SBC: MZA ASSOCIATES CORPORATION Topic: AF15AT40ABSTRACT: MZA partnered with the University of Notre Dame proposes to extend MZAs WaveTrain wave-optics sensor simulation framework to model EO/IR sensors operating on hypersonic aircraft. Following the methods we have developed for aero-optical imaging through subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flows, existing WaveTrain libraries will be expanded to include hypersonic flow, shocks, thermal effec ...
