The impact of metal whiskers on the reliability of electronics has been exacerbated by environmentally-driven efforts to eliminate lead from tin plating and solders. Even exempt applications, such as military, are affected due to COTS. Foresite, Inc., a consultant, laboratory and test equipment development company, has a goal for the subject research, in collaboration with Purdue University, to ...

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is developing a new kill vehicle to be employed as part of a missile system upgrade program. One of the performance enhancements under consideration involves improving performance through the integration of data from three sensors, each operating in a different spectral range, with both active and passive capability. This document proposes a unique and novel approa ...

In this SBIR project MagiCom proposes several innovative concepts to provide high speed, in-flight communication links between the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Fire Control and Interceptor/Kill Vehicles such as the Ground Missile Defense – Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (GMD-EKV) and other potential platforms in a Nuclear Fading Channel / ECM Environments. The development of a Design for ...

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 ...

In this Phase II research effort Arxan intends to build a practical and commercially feasible product - a reconfigurable-hardware-based protection-system integration product. That product EnforIT-H shall meet certain design goals. The first goal is to fill all unused FPGA space. The second goal is to insert protection into an application after development has been completed. For the third desi ...
