Award Data

Recent interest in high sensitivity magnetic sensing has spurred the development of several technologies, but none are ideal for Magnetoencephalography (MEG) imaging systems.  The development of engineered diamonds with defects such as NV centers has been

The U.S. Dept of Defense is seeking a low power (< 30mA @ 3V), US-sourced, ultra-wideband voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). Fuzing applications that employ Height of Burst (HOB) sensors utilize specialized chipsets that set the operating range and output power for these systems, and different applications require specific parameters given operational environments, input power, form factor, etc. ...

Event-based cameras are novel sensors that output brightness changes in the form of a stream of asynchronous "events" instead of intensity frames. Compared to conventional image sensors, they offer significant advantages: high temporal resolution, high dy

The United States Space Force has identified Space Domain Awareness (SDA) as a critical mission domain to ensure domestic space superiority. Threats posed by passive debris and active counter-space assets are rapidly evolving. Katalyst proposes a TACFI en

As is well noted, GEODSS telescopes are unable to perform their primary space surveillance mission during daytime and weather outages. Passive RF provides a needed augmentation to the GEODSS mission with its ability to maintain custody and support routine

This proposed TACFI effort will be both a continuation and enhancement of the current Phase II MERAS work - one that would expand the impact and value potential for the Total Force by many multiples. Extensive interaction with End-Users during the previou

In response to Department of defense SBIR topic AF231-008, Alphacore Inc. will develop a versatile Radiometric Calibration system for imaging system calibration using its own proprietary two color infrared readout integrated circuit (ROIC). This ROIC will

50% of the entire cost to put a million-dollar satellite into orbit comes from the satellite’s solar panels. Even worse, these panels lose 10-15% efficiency each YEAR from radiation exposure. These Chinese manufactured solar panels put U.S. national secur

The Fuel Stability program will enable the Air Force to identify fundamental jet fuel chemical properties in real-time and in the field, for properties such as Thermal Stability. The Fuel Stability model development effort will focus on building a compreh

The proliferation of space objects and the advancement of adversarial capabilities has created a space domain that is increasingly contested, congested, and complex. In this dynamic threat environment, new approaches to space domain awareness (SDA) that e
