SciTec, Inc. has extensive experience developing robust, signature based autonomous exploitation capabilities for data collected from Electro-Optic/Infrared (EO/IR) systems. These signature based capabilities are typically robust because they exploit features with known causal relationships to threat characteristics and behavior, and because they are constructed using rigorous mathematical framewo ...

CRG is demonstrating actively cooled, architected C/C designs for shape stable hypersonic structures using MG Resins, a unique, high char yield material system as a replacement to typical phenolic and pitch C/C precursors. The intent is to understand the parametric design space for which C/C structures produced with MG resin facilitate active cooling of various hypersonic structural elements and f ...

Hypervelocity projectiles (HVPs) offer the potential for highly effective and low-cost point defense against missile threats. Classical guidance schemes are ill-suited to the unpowered dynamics of the HVP, as they fail to account for its changing capabilities and limited energy budget over the course of the fly-out. Numerica’s solution consists of an automated real-time fly-out trajectory optimi ...

Future interceptors would benefit from advanced propulsion capabilities, with higher performance in smaller, volume-constrained systems. Innovative propellant chemistry is needed to enable substantially greater performance in smaller packages. One factor limiting the maximum performance achievable in modern solid propellants is the slow ignition and combustion of the propellant’s metal fuel part ...

ASRC Federal Astronautics, LLC (AFA) is pleased to present this Phase II proposal, which is focused upon the continued development of a selectively laser melted (SLM) high strength, low weight kick motor case that features an integral stage adapter. Our innovation enjoys reduced costs, shorter manufacturing lead times and the potential for incorporating a topologically-optimized, lighter-weight st ...

Nanoscale, material sensitive, imaging techniques are critical for progress in many disciplines as we learn to master science and technology at the smallest dimensions — on the nanometer to atomic-scale. However, progress in both science and technology is becoming increasingly limited by the constraints of current imaging techniques and metrologies. Fortunately, by combining coherent extreme UV ...

We present the design of a small, portable, microwave cold atomic clock that meets the frequency stability requirement of < 8X10-13 at 1 s averaging time and < 3X10-15 for an averaging time of 1 day. The entire clock is about the size of a desktop computer 18.75 ” X 14.75 ” X 8.77 ” (47.6 cm X 37.5 cm X 22.3 cm) and weighs 30.5 kg. The clock can run on both 100-240 VAC as well as +24 VDC. St ...

Care for the wounded Warfighters in austere and remote settings makes medical knowledge, skills and efficiency of the military medical professional paramount. For wounds that extend deep into internal anatomy, proper visualization of internal anatomy can

The goal of medical simulation-based training such as high-fidelity manikin simulators, part task trainers, and screen-based virtual patients, is to approximate real-life treatment experiences without risk to live patients. While the use of sensors has ma

In operational medicine, DHA continues to face challenges in documenting patient treatments at the point of injury in Theater, through moving records with the patient back to Garrison. The challenge includes: 1) the documentation and capture of data el
