Cloud Background Clutter Suppression for Early Detection and Track
SBC: DEFENSE RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC. Topic: MDA03077The ability to counter theater ballistic missiles requires early detection, tracking, and warning of their launch and trajectory. Today's ballistic missile warning systems are limited in their ability to detect ballistic launches early in the flight. Current systems operate in bands where the atmosphere absorbs most of the energy. These systems are not able to detect the ballistic missiles unti ...

A > 30% Efficient Space Solar Cell with Improved Radiation Tolerance
SBC: Essential Research, Inc. Topic: MDA04080Essential Research Incorporated proposes the development of a high efficiency, metamorphic triplejunction, III-V, space solar cell that will also have significantly higher radiation tolerance. The AM0 one sun efficiency of this AlGaInP/InGaAsP/InGaAs cell will be 31.7%, compared to 28% for the state-of-the-art InGaP/GaAs/Ge cell. Since most of the radiation damage in these cells can be attribut ...
