We propose to develop intermediate to high power (.1 to 4 W), frequency- stable diode lasers with high modulation capability and long life. Our approach can provide fixed-frequency radiation sources for 1 pace-based ballistic missile defense applications. To demonstrate the technology we will develop a compact, lightweight, relatively inexpensive, proprietary external-cavity-stabilized diode laser ...

This project proposes to exploit the Giant Magnetostriction of Terfenol-D, along with the properties of piezoelectric ceramics to develop a new class of electric voltage transformer. The Magnetostrictive Piezoelectric Charge Pump (MPCP), when perfected, will provide a new option for the generation of high-voltage electricity. MPCP devices can be built in a wide range of configurations. The primary ...

Increasing power density and efficiency, reducing size and weight, and introducing standardization of electronics systems are all goals of the STSS program. The performance of Power Management and Distribution (PMAD) systems has great impact on the energy storage systems of the spacecraft or satellite. APEI, Inc proposes to develop rad-hard SiC based modular DC/DC converter PMAD systems. The modul ...

In the Phase I research, our business will develop a preliminary Data Architecture, data model, and other architectural artifacts for a Big Data solution to manage Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) System of Systems and related simulation data. The prime contractor of Objective Simulation Framework (OSF) will provide BMDS subject matter expertise and knowledge of existing systems and proces ...
