PRIME: PRimary Integration and Maturation of EGS
SBC: THE DESIGN KNOWLEDGE COMPANY LLC Topic: AF18BT012Legacy satellite command and control capabilities and their related telemetry operate in a largely stove piped framework. Satellites are still commanded, controlled, and communicated with their ground station in a specific constellation structure. Each ground station is unique to a given constellation and the communications and telemetry are aligned to the specific constellation, underscoring an o ...

Optimization of Sodium Guide Star Return using Polarization and/or Modulation Control
SBC: APPLIED OPTIMIZATION, INC. Topic: AF19AT008The research objective of the proposed work is to increase the efficiency of the laser return of a Sodium Guide Star Laser (SGSL) reflected off the sodium layer for increased reliability and applicability of the artificial guide star technique. During Phase I, we will demonstrate the concept of maximizing the SGSL signal returns using numerical simulations that account for the effects of atmospher ...

Tunable bioinspired spatially-varying random photonic crystals
SBC: APPLIED OPTIMIZATION, INC. Topic: AF19AT017The research objective is to develop a tunable spatially-varying photonic crystal (SVPC) to achieve the optical propagation properties (reflection and transmission) of the light through the designed structure for the visible and near IR-bands. The light from this SVPC will be able to focus and bend as a function of the spatial variation of the refractive index, input angle, and state of polarizati ...

Innovations in Physical Modeling and Statistical Exploitation of Electromagnetic Target Signatures
SBC: Five Focal LLC Topic: AF12BT06ABSTRACT: Feature extraction and target recognition suffer from a lack of a reliable model for both exploitable target features and the electromagnetic signature they possess. Signature data are often hard to interpret and invert to recover the target robustly. Bayesian learning approaches to statistical pattern recognition are based on the use of training sets of inputs and outputs, a data mode ...

Intra-Subaperture Adaptive Optical (ISAO) System
SBC: NUTRONICS, INC. Topic: AF12BT13ABSTRACT: Current and projected limitations on the maximum power from a high power single mode fiber laser amplifier impose architectural limitations on a high power phased array laser weapon system. Prior studies strongly indicate that when faced with this limitation the optimal approach is (to borrow the term for Paul McManamon) a Phased Array of Phased Arrays (PAPA) geometry wherein large(r) ...

Rapid Discovery of Evasive Satellite Behaviors
SBC: DATA FUSION & NEURAL NETWORKS, LLC Topic: AF17CT02The DF&NN team has significant experience in delivering Space Domain Awareness tools. These tools will be applied to 2 years of GEO ephemeris data of active satellites at DF&NN. The RDESB prototype will reduce the risk in rapidly discovering the behavioral patterns of potentially evasive and/or ambiguous active resident space objects. RDESB will detect non-Keplerian behavior in ephemeris data for ...

Scalable Adaptive Fiber-Array Elements (SAFARE) for Directed Energy Phased Arrays
SBC: MV INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES, LLC Topic: AF12BT13ABSTRACT: To address the Air Force need for an adaptive optics system using a fiber laser array as the spatial phase correction system within the subaperature of an array of discrete telescopes, Optonicus and The University of Dayton propose the development of a new Scalable Adaptive Fiber-Array Elements (SAFARE) system. The integration of new fiber-array architectures with novel imaging and ada ...

Electronically Dimmable Eye Protection Devices (EDEPD)
SBC: ALPHAMICRON, INCORPORATED Topic: AF18BT003The team of AlphaMicron Inc. and Kent State University proposes a novel LC technology, the dynamic polarizer, as a light control system for Battlefield Airmen and Pilots. The dynamic polarizer technology shares the performance capabilities of AlphaMicron’s e-Tint LC light control technology: instantaneously fails-to-clear, millisecond switching times, and customizable tint and color. Howeve ...

Real-Time Stress Biomarker Sensor
SBC: CORNERSTONE RESEARCH GROUP INC Topic: AF18CT001Research is currently identifying new biochemical markers to help monitor cognition and stress in the human body and enhance human performance. Traditional biometric markers like heart rate, temperature, oxygen partial pressure, blood glucose, electrolyte concentration, and others have been correlated with cognition and stress states. However, the correlation is indirect. Molecular biomarkers with ...

Stable High Bandwidth AO Control with physical DM constraints
SBC: Guidestar Optical Systems, Inc. Topic: AF18AT008Adaptive optics (AO) system performance is hindered by the mechanical limits of the deformable mirror (DM), namely stroke limits, interactuator stroke limits, and mechanical resonance.The nature of the multi-in multi-out (MIMO) control system does not lend itself well to notch filters to combat the mechanical resonances, and the stroke limits introduce non-linearities to the system.The traditional ...
