DESCRIPTION (Adapted from Applicant's Abstract): The objective of the proposed research is to develop ultra-high resolution, thin film low-temperature superconductivity (LTS) SQUID magnetometers (UHRSM) with integrated pickup-loops. The UHRSM will be optimized for imaging of the magnetic fields produced by action currents, injury and developmental currents, remanent magnetization, and magnetic sus ...

Bird-aircraft collisions (birdstrikes) present a significant threat to military and commercial aircraft, and as bird populations and air traffic continue to grow, and airport/airbase operations continue to expand, the problem will steadily get worse. A majority of the efforts to solve this problem focus specifically on bird mitigation via, e.g., wildlife and environmental management. However, a ke ...

High Power Microwave (HPM) systems capable of generating gigawatts of power for pulse lengths of microseconds have significant military applications. The military utility would be even greater if such systems could be packaged for placement in current Army mobile platforms (long range and short range), on UAVs, or in aircraft. Previous simulations have shown that the proposed device is capable o ...

Not Available VXI-based hardware and software products have now advanced to the point where real-time data acquisition and intensive signal processing on multiple signals can be routinely handled by commercially available products. However, for specialized tasks, such as optimal process control, current software tools require a dedicated software engineer to implement downloadable code for effici ...

Compound semiconductor films are the key ingredient enabling the construction of ultrafast (>10 GHz) transistors. Materials such as Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), Gallium Nitride (GaN), Silicon Germanium (SiGe) and Indium Phosphide (InP) have shown great potential to enable a quantum leap in transistor performance. There are numerous commercial and military applications for such ultrafast transistors. ...

Distributed systems, important to civilian and military infrastucture, have steadily become more complex and steadily more difficult to understand, implement, and maintain. Addressing these dangers, a collaboration between ATC-NY and Cornell University will build a mathematically based tool, SCorES, providing powerful automated support for specifying, developing, verifying, and synthesizing re ...
