Volume Digital Holographic Wavefront Sensor
SBC: NUTRONICS, INC. Topic: AF18AT006Nutronics, Inc. and Montana State University propose to develop and evaluate computational methods for a Volume Digital Holographic Wavefront Sensor (VDHWFS).VDHWFS based imaging offers the potential to provide the equivalent of wide field of view adaptive optics (AO) compensated imaging, but without the added complexity of AO components and hardware.Recent result for coherent imaging developed by ...

Mechanically Static High Speed 3-D Optical/Digital Holographic Polarimeter
SBC: POLARIS SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: AF18AT007Phase I of this effort involves the creation of a comprehensive end-to-end model of a novel holographic polarimeter.The polarimeter that can be constructed based on our model will be able to determine the full polarization properties (Mueller matrix elements) of scattering, reflecting and absorbing media as a function of the materials depth.Unlike previous attempts, this system will be a real-time ...

Non-Linear Adaptive Optics (NLAO)
SBC: NUTRONICS, INC. Topic: AF18AT008Nutronics, Inc. and Montana State University propose to develop an approach for non-linear control of hysteresis and incorporate (if necessary) integrated Multi-Input-Multi-Output real time control with this capability.Our control systems already include a proven high speed real time control approach to determine the optimal set of actuator commands that satisfy inter-actuator stroke limitations.O ...

Stable High Bandwidth AO Control with physical DM constraints
SBC: Guidestar Optical Systems, Inc. Topic: AF18AT008Adaptive optics (AO) system performance is hindered by the mechanical limits of the deformable mirror (DM), namely stroke limits, interactuator stroke limits, and mechanical resonance.The nature of the multi-in multi-out (MIMO) control system does not lend itself well to notch filters to combat the mechanical resonances, and the stroke limits introduce non-linearities to the system.The traditional ...

HASLOC: Hierarchical And-Or Structures forLocalization and Object Recognition
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: AF18AT014Target detection and recognition is a challenging problem because of changes in appearance, viewing direction, occlusion and other covariates. Systems that can accurately and efficiently detect and track objects can provide several benefits in surveillance, monitoring and other applications. As part of this effort, we propose to develop a robust learning-based approach to detect, track and recogni ...

Brain Targeting Nanoparticle for Drug Delivery in Traumatic Brain Injury
SBC: WEINBERG MEDICAL PHYSICS, INC. Topic: DHA18A001There is an urgent need to bypass or cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) to deliver drugs for TBI treatment. This project aims to develop targted intranasally delivered, magnetically propulsed, and targted nanoparticles for traumatic brain injury (TBI). In Phase I, we will demonstrate the design, fabrication, and in vitro characterization of proposed drug laden magnetic nanoparticles as well as co ...

Multi-Physics Models for Parachute Deployment and Braking for Coupling with DoD CREATE-AV Kestrel
SBC: Kord Technologies, Inc. Topic: AF18AT004Design analysis of parachute recovery systems has relied on a combination of core design principles, historical empirical data, and extensive testing for decades. Parachute motion involves complex phenomena involving porous bluff-body aerodynamics and highly deformable cloth. The proposed project is a plugin for the DoD CREATE-AV Kestrel simulation suite that will enable high-fidelity simulations ...

Volumetric Wavefront Sensing for the Characterization of Distributed-Volume Aberrations
SBC: Guidestar Optical Systems, Inc. Topic: AF18AT006Modern Directed Energy (DE) missions require target engagements at low elevation angles and long ranges.These engagement geometries require propagation through distributed-volume turbulence. To correct for distributed-volume turbulence effects, an estimation of the turbulence along the propagation path is required. Correcting for these image aberrations will improve the quality of the target image ...

Complex Object Reflectance Characterization System (CORCS)
SBC: NUTRONICS, INC. Topic: AF18AT007Nutronics, Inc. and Montana State University propose to develop a method for characterization of the full Mueller matrix for reflective scattering from a test object. The Complex Object Reflectance Characterization System (CORCS) will initially be designed for laboratory use and characterization of test objects by active imaging to measure both the Mueller Matrix and the target depth associated wi ...
