The proposed technology addresses the U.S. Air Force need for low hydrogen embrittlement (LHE) Zn-Ni coatings as a replacement for cadmium for electrical connectors, back-shells and aircraft system components. Implementation of Zn-Ni coatings across the Department of Defense will lower processing and waste treatment costs, improve sustainability, and increase readiness. Faraday proposes to demonst ...

Kalos Technologies Inc. (Kalos) and Temple University submit together this STTR Phase I proposal entitled Securing the Internet of Things in Tactical Environments to the Air Force in response to solicitation topic AF16-AT10: Securing the Internet of Things. It is the Kalos and Temples effort in the development of hardware-based security, embedded system security, secure communication, and secure I ...

Endpoints in the Internet of Things (IoT) vary considerably in their hardware-software architecture and their functional capability. The IoT marketplace is unlikely to converge on a single or a few dominant endpoint platforms in the near term and potentially even long term future.This creates a major problem and an opportunity for securing IoT endpoints that are being increasingly integrated in cr ...

EO/IR sensors can provide high spatial resolution images using multiple frequency bands ranging from the visible to mid-wave IR. EO/IR sensors have been very successful for terrain imaging from subsonic aircraft and from satellites. Imaging using these platforms has been studied extensively. EO/IR sensors can provide high spatial resolution images using multiple frequency bands ranging from the v ...

Successful introduction of DEW will depend on total mission integration of power, energy and thermal systems. Because of the pulse-power nature of the current requirement, battery based systems have been predominant in current deployment and testing. Ho

Scramjet engines are designed to operate across a wide Mach number range and typically incorporate isolator sections to provide sufficient back-pressure margin and prevent unstart. As military requirements become increasingly demanding, an active, closed-loop control system is necessary to maintain engine stability and power output. During Phase I, key components of a scramjet control system were ...

The goal of the proposed work is to demonstrate 100 kHz to MHz rate nonlinear spectroscopy for measurements of molecular energy distributions, energy transfer, major species, and temperature in transient combusting and nonequilibrium flows. This will be accomplished, in part, by extending burst-mode laser technology to the fs/ps regime for three-orders of magnitude higher probe-pulse energy at MHz ...

CRG is reducing the cost-to-space by leveraging MG Resina new high-temperature polymerto decrease structural and TPS mass fractions in support of reusable launch vehicle (RLV) development. In Phase I, Cornerstone Research Group, Inc. (CRG) demonstrated feasibility of MG Resin with regard to thermal performance and composite processing. MGs unique chemistry demonstrated thermal oxidative stability ...

ABSTRACT: The overall goal of this proposed program (through Phase III) is to develop a novel In-Line Fuel Analyzer (ILFA) capable of characterizing changing chemical composition of flowing jet fuels in thermally stressed environments representative of next-generation aircraft energy management systems.Knowledge gained using the ILFA will allow improving future fuel system designs that reduce foul ...

CPI will develop a prototype system to demonstrate the feasibility of increasing the Air Force depot energy efficiency through the reuse of energy produced by testing generators to spin those same generators providing a final capacity of 1125 kVA at 900 kW.Novel circuitry will be developed to control commercially available motor drives to recycle the power generated including filtration circuitry ...
