High Thrust-to-Power Electric Propulsion through Neutral Entrainment
SBC: MSNW LLC Topic: AF11BT10ABSTRACT: State of the art Orbital Transfer Vehicle systems and GEO transfer missions require the demanding combined requirements of both high Thrust-to-Power (greater than 150 mN/kW) and high specific impulse (greater than 3000 s), all at constant power. The 9 kW PROTEAN system is a two-stage plasmoid thruster which adds secondary Neutral Entrainment (NE) to the ElectroMagnetic Plasmoid Thruster ...

Forecasting of Solar Eruptions using Statistical Mechanics, Ensemble, and Bayesian Forecasting Methods
SBC: NORTHWEST RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC. Topic: AF141108The technological systems on which today's war-fighters depend, reflecting today's society, are vulnerable to the effects of sudden high-energy events from our Sun. Because the propagation speed for sudden increases in X-rays from a solar flare is the speed of light, it is necessary to truly forecast these events in order to mitigate their effects; the ionospheric response and influx of ...

Printed Robust Electronic Sensing Systems (PRESS) for Aircraft Structural Integrity
SBC: Quest Integrated, LLC Topic: AF141065ABSTRACT: With the increasing age of current military aircraft fleets and current operational and budget environment, there is a need to increase structure reliability and availability while, at the same time, reducing maintenance costs. This is critical especially when some fleets need to be operational beyond its design life. Typical high performance military structure operates under extreme l ...

Aerodynamic Decelerator for Sounding Rocket Trajectory Control
SBC: Systima Technologies, Inc. Topic: AF141081ABSTRACT: Systima Technologies, Inc. has developed a novel aerodynamic decelerator concept and technical approach for tailoring sounding rocket trajectories. Systima"s decelerator technology will broaden the performance range that a booster stack can achieve in order to deliver a hypersonic flight experiment within a test window of desired altitude and Mach number. During the proposed Phase I e ...

Combustion Enhanced Electric Propulsion
SBC: MSNW LLC Topic: AF141089ABSTRACT: Orbital transfer missions require a demanding combination of lightweight, flexible operation and high Thrust-to-Power (greater than 120 mN/kW) electric propulsion. Adding Neutral Entrainment (NE) to a pulsed electromagnetic thruster has the potential to dramatically increases the total Thrust-to-Power by decreasing effective plasma frozen flow and ionization losses. It also enables a ne ...

A Pintle-Free Divert and Attitude Control System
SBC: Digital Solid State Propulsion, Inc Topic: AF141137ABSTRACT: Digital Solid State Propulsion is proposing to develop a Divert and Attitude Control System (DACS) for tactical air superiority missiles, using proprietary Electric Solid Propellants (ESPs). Unlike conventional propellants, ESPs can be ignited with electric power applied through inert electrodes within the propellant grain itself, while also maintaining a higher level of insensitivity. ...

High Density Carriage Technology Innovation, High Density Carriage Rotary Racks
SBC: Systima Technologies, Inc. Topic: AF141138ABSTRACT: The current (such as the F-35) and the next (i.e. the 6th gen) generation of attack aircraft have a fundamental constraint. To achieve low radar cross-sections, they need to carry their weapons internal to the aircraft. This creates a conflict between the size and number of weapons that can be carried by the aircraft. When the F-35 bay dimensions were originally established, the F-35 ...

High Density Carriage Technology Innovation, Integral Munition Ejection System
SBC: Systima Technologies, Inc. Topic: AF141138ABSTRACT: Systima Technologies will develop an ultra-low profile, modular carriage/release system by incorporation of various emerging technologies within the Munition Design. This system will nearly double carriage density compared to traditional bomb rack integrations (for 7"stores). By eliminating the bomb rack altogether, the maintenance, cleaning and logistic costs are alleviated, along with ...
