There is a DoD need for an interface of nonlinear micromagnetic computation engines with standard RF circuit design tools. Such an interface will allow RF design engineers to easily and intuitively simulate circuits containing certain nonlinear micromagnetic self-adaptive components such as frequency selective limiters (FSL) and signal-to-noise enhancers (SNE) at the fundamental materials level, a ...

Instrumenting a flight path over the open ocean, such as the more than 4,000 nautical miles from Vandenberg AFB to the Marshall Islands, requires the use of some temporarily placed assets covering the planned flight path. A number of potential technologies can be applied to this problem. Each comes with strengths and weaknesses in terms of development time, development cost, cost to deploy, cost t ...

Softronics proposes a telemetry collection sonobuoy system based on several of its prior products: DSP sonobuoy radios, a radio relay sonobuoy (recent SBIR), and a miniature digital radio recorder that captures a whole radio band to memory. Through our existing partnership with the worlds largest sonobuoy manufacturer, we will design the TM system to directly fit the production Type A sonobuoy ma ...

This effort involves the unique layered, or material gradient, approach to the development of an all-composite cryogenic fuel tank suitable for the containment of liquid oxygen. New epoxy and urethane resins systems are developed for performing well in a high strain and cryogenic environment. The new matrix resins are combined with filament wound carbon fiber layers, woven fabrics, woven preforms ...

The objective of this effort is the design of a new TWT transmitter power supply incorporating a modern, elegant and innovative high efficiency/performance High Voltage Power Supply (HVPS) architecture and design. The baseline architecture and circuit de...

Hypersonic cruise vehicles provide a necessary pathway for effective intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. Hypersonic structures are subjected to extreme aerodynamic heating, and current material options are expensive, complicated, an...

Orbital Research Inc. will build off their Phase I level of effort to design an integrated guidance package that consists of a CAS, IMU and GEU. These three subsystems will be packaged for a 40mm interceptor application that is gun launched and flies in...

The solution of systems of both linear and non-linear partial differential equations (PDE) is important to many scientific problems, such as magnetohydrodynamic and non-linear acoustics. Application areas include computational electromagnetics, fusion en...

Cost-effective application of advanced commercial electronics technologies in DoD space systems requires early development of radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) techniques, and use of simulations is critical to the efficiency of this process. CFDRC has developed an integrated, mixed-mode simulation approach allowing their NanoTCAD device physics simulator to interface with commercial circuit simu ...

Compact Electromagnetic Pulse Module (EMP) capable of being arranged in series-parallel planar or cylindrical arrays is needed to simulate nuclear weapon effects. High gain optically triggered photoconductive semiconductor switches (PCSS) based on Gallium arsenide (GaAs) with low timing jitter enables the development of planar or phased arrays of modular EMP or High Power Microwave (HPM) sources. ...
