Programmable Multi-Frequency Transmitter for Missile Communciations
SBC: Space Micro Inc. Topic: MDA16T005Improving capabilities of telemetry systems for next generation e.g. (MOKV) missile defense launch vehicles, kill vehicles, and test/target vehicles subsystems can transform operational testing of such systems and has the potential to increase capabilities of systems that rely on radio communications. As these systems, and their test scenarios become get more complex they will require unprecedente ...

Methodologies for Cost-Effective Measurement of Dynamic Material Properties or Characterization of Materials under Dynamic Loads
SBC: PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC Topic: MDA16T003Explosions and high-velocity impacts can create strain rates on the order of 105 to 107 s-1. To simulate these events, first-principles codes require material models that are valid at these loading rates. Currently, the amount of test data, material models and material constants for this strain rate range is extremely limited, and an innovative and cost-effective laboratory test procedure is neede ...

Lightweight Structural Components of a Missile Body
SBC: TEXAS RESEARCH INSTITUTE , AUSTIN, INC. Topic: MDA17T004The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has a need for weight-optimized solutions for future platforms of large missile structures. A significant weight reduction on these MDA platforms could increase maneuverability of the payload and allow the missile to launch additional kill vehicles. High temperature composite materials offer the means by which low cost and lighter weight missile structures can be a ...

Human Performance Optimization: Ketone Esters for Optimization of Operator Performance in Hypoxia
SBC: HVMN Inc. Topic: SOCOM17C001In the setting of altitude-induced hypoxia, operator cognitive capacity degrades and can compromise both individual and team performance. This degradation is linked to falling brain energy (ATP) levels and an increased reliance on anaerobic energy production from glucose. Ketone bodies are the evolutionary alternative substrate to glucose for brain metabolic requirements; previous studies have sho ...

Novel Structure-Preserving Algorithms for Accurate Rocket Trajectory Propagation
SBC: OPTIMAL SYNTHESIS INC. Topic: MDA17T002The Department of Defense uses large-scale high-resolution federated simulations to propagate rocket vehicle trajectories. Runge-Kutta methods have served as a de-facto standard while conducting such simulations. However, there are several challenges while using Runge-Kutta methods for this task. Firstly, there should be exact time-step matching between federates, otherwise the states have to be i ...
