Eyesafe Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) Laser for Laser Ranging
SBC: Aculight Corporation Topic: MDA05013We propose the development of a high-peak-power pulse fiber laser operating at eye-safe wavelength to be used as transmitter in laser radar (LIDAR) applications. The laser will support long range and high range resolution and will be designed for fast transition to actual field deployment.

Efficient Adaptive Beamforming for Missile Defense Radars
SBC: Applied Radar, Inc. Topic: MDA06033The detection and classification of reentry vehicles in the presence of jammers and clutter is a very important missile defense radar problem. High resolution, wideband adaptive beamforming (ADBF) is an important solution component in which both the transmit and receive beamforming weight vectors are dynamically updated to optimize performance in a time varying jammer and clutter environment. An i ...

Development of Digital Receiver/Exciters for Missile Defense Radars
SBC: Applied Radar, Inc. Topic: MDA06032This proposal will address the development of digital receivers and exciters capable of supporting > 1 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth (IBW). The technology will be used in large scalable BMD radar arrays employing a digital waveform generator and digital receiver at the analog input/output of each subarray panel. The receivers/exciters include the necessary up/downconversion and local oscillator c ...

Wideband Digital Beamforming for SPEAR
SBC: Applied Radar, Inc. Topic: MDA05034In the proposed Phase II effort, Applied Radar, Inc. will develop a wideband scaleable digital beamforming (DBF) processor capable of supporting > 1 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth (IBW). The new patented hardware architecture paradigm developed in Phase I is scaleable in the number of input channels, the number of output beams, and bandwidth. Hence, it is directly applicable to large BMD radars su ...

Coherent Distributed Aperture Enabled Active Electronically Steered Array (CDA-AESA)
SBC: Applied Radar, Inc. Topic: MDA07T011Our missile defense capability crucially depends on radar performance to detect, track and discriminate hostile targets. New radar designs being developed offer enhanced capability. However, a significant impediment to the deployment of these new radars is the high cost of active electronically scanned arrays (AESAs) and in particular the antennas upon which they are based. Together with our inter ...

Improved Laser Diodes for Space Laser Communications
SBC: nLight Photonics Topic: MDA06020We propose to perform analytical and empirical studies of laser diode packages in regards to long-term reliability for use in the space environment. Our approach will be to develop a physics based understanding of the failure mechanisms observed due to operation in vacuum and radiation environments. We expect to be able to mitigate these failure mechanisms through nLight’s laser diode design a ...
