Dual S&C-Band Telemetry Transmitter System for Missile Testing
SBC: Quasonix, LLC Topic: MDA11T004Reductions and reallocations of telemetry wireless bandwidth have prompted the need for DoD agencies to adapt to operation in more restricted and less desirable frequency spectrum. Telemetering systems must evolve to address these frequency allocation changes, while retaining operational characteristics that are vital to MDA mission success. The design and implementation of high performance transm ...

Improved Multi Junction Solar Cell Technology for Satellites
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: MDA09T005Higher efficiency solar cells are needed to reduce mass, volume, and cost of DoD space missions. However, to achieve higher efficiency and radiation hardness of the best to date multi-junction photovoltaic (MJ PV) devices, several challenges must be addressed. This project aims to develop: 1) Quantum Well (QW)-based multi-junction cell technology that exhibits enhanced efficiency, and 2) Radiation ...

Physics Based Modeling Tools for Next-Generation Lithium Ion Battery Performance and Lifetime
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: MDA10T004The MDA is developing the Precision Tracking Space System and other satellite based systems that could benefit from ongoing developments in advanced materials for lithium ion batteries. Unfortunately, the applications driving much of that battery research have less abusive operational cycles than the frequent cycling, and sporadic pulse loads to deep discharge, of MDA satellite applications. Phy ...

An Ultra-High Temperature Ceramic with Improved Fracture Toughness and Oxidation Resistance
SBC: Plasma Processes, LLC Topic: MDA09T002Hypersonic missile defense systems are being designed to reach global threats. During flight, external surfaces are predicted to reach temperatures in excess of 2200C. As a result, innovative, high performance thermal protection systems (TPS) are of great demand. Among ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC), it is well known that ZrB2- and HfB2-based materials have high melting temperatures and ...
