Power electronic converters are essential in every MDA vehicle, with use in critical systems ranging from electric power management applications, to power distribution, to on-board servo motor/actuator drivers. Advancing state-of-the-art power electronics technologies through the use of SiC semiconductors will produce significant savings across the board in almost all areas of MDA power management ...

Enerchem proposes to develop and demonstrate innovative concepts to protect solid rocket motors from impact events. Specifically our ignition delay concept has the potential to mitigate the overpressure, fragmentation and collateral damage that is usually incurred upon bullet or fragment impact on large motors. This concept is part of a systems approach to meeting the IM requirements and is integ ...

The overall objective of the proposed SBIR program is to develop compact, low-cost, low power and ultra-high sensitivity semiconductor ladar photoreceivers with linear mode photon counting capabilities that will be at once capable of high image, range and angular resolution. Specifically, we will model, design, analyze, fabricate and test and demonstrate high sensitivity, high bandwidth, (1.0 GHz) ...

Epitaxial Technologies' overall objective is to develop innovative detector technologies that can be used to produce enhanced quantum efficiency and high detectivity VLWIR sensors that can operate at high temperatures. The goal of Phase II will be to improve the quality of the dilute nitride SL material structures and enhance the performance of the dilute Nitride IR detectors developed in Phase I ...

In this proposal, we propose a comprehensive and innovative agent-based simulation tool and game theoretic supporting algorithm. We leverage novel game theoretic method, advanced hierarchical framework, cooperative pursuit strategy, adaptive estimators, limited look-ahead and Markov chain approximation algorithms in the agent-based simulation tool to provide real time simulations which can accommo ...
