Compact Thermal Management System for Laser Systems
SBC: SPECTRAL ENERGIES LLC Topic: N18AT001The use of laser technologies and high-power electronics is rapidly being incorporated into tactical platforms for imaging, target designation, and range finding. Electronic equipment including lasers demand power from a tactical aircraft and produce large amounts of thermal energy as a waste product. Current thermal management technologies will not be sufficient for future aircraft as thermal man ...

Innovative additive manufacturing (AM) process for successful production of 7000 series aluminum alloy components using Smart Optical Monitoring Syste
SBC: SENSIGMA LLC Topic: N18AT005Naval aircraft components are routinely made of 7000 series aluminum alloys due to their strength, weight and fatigue properties. Present Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes falls short of producing 7000 series Al alloys successfully due to lack of porosity, thermal and composition control. In-situ methods implemented to date largely only yield information about the component surface and other m ...

Detect and Avoid Certification Environment for Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs)
SBC: NEAR EARTH AUTONOMY, INC Topic: N18AT007Certification of Detect and Avoid (DAA) systems is challenging because the state space of these systems is large and the modeling of other aircraft, ownership, operator dynamics, and sensors is complex and time consuming. Furthermore, to be able to achieve sufficient evidence for certification, a strong argument for their safety has to be determined. In Phase I we expect to demonstrate the feasibi ...

Cubic Boron Nitride Claddings for Friction Stir Tooling
SBC: Plasma Processes, LLC Topic: N18AT026Friction stir welding (FSW) is an attractive joining method where high strength low porosity welds can be attained. However, the high temperatures and forces required for welding high strength materials like steel require the use of exotic tools. Cubic boron nitride (cBN)-based tools offer attractive tool wear characteristics in steels, but are very costly. Conversely, refractory metal alloys are ...
