THE GAS PENETRANT PROCESS IS FUNDAMENTALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE POTENTIAL ABILITY TO DETERMINE SURFACE ANOMALITIES BY THE VARIATIONS IN GAS ABSORPTION AT THESE ANOMALITIES. THIS PROGRAM IS FOCUSED ON TWO TURBINE ENGINE AREAS, LOW CYCLE FATIGUE AND TURBINE BLADE COATINGS, BOTH OF WHICH ARE INTIMATELY RELATED TO SURFACE BEHAVIOR THERMODYNAMICS. THE LOW CYCLE FATIGUE EFFORT IS DIRECTED TO DEVELOPING A ...

THE TASK IS TO CONDUCT AN ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY STUDY TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE HIGH LABOR-INTENSIVE EFFORTS TO PRODUCE SPPOT TRAINING MATERIAL CAN BE REDUCED THROUGH INNOVATIVE COMPUTER-BASED CAPABILITIES. THE STUDY WILL RESULT IN AN ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY REPORT AND A TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY REPORT BASED ON A JOB ANALYSIS OF THE SPPOT AUTHORING PROCESS, REVIEW OF SPPOT INPUT MATERIALS AN ...

SAILCOMP INDUSTRIES PROPOSES TO DESIGN AN ACOUSTIC DOPPLER WIND VELOCITY AND DIRECTION SENSING SYSTEM THAT OVERCOMES THE PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH PRESENT MECHANICAL DESIGNS. THE ACOUSTIC VELOCIMETER SYSTEM WILL CONSIST OF FOUR PAIRS OF TRANSDUCERS IN FEEDBACK LOOPS. BY MEASURING THE DOPPLER PHASE SHIFT IN EACH OF THE FOUR LEGS OF THE SYSTEM, WIND VELOCITY AND DIRECTION CAN BE CALCULATED. THIS SOLID ...

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT DISCONTINUOUS CERAMIC FIBER REINFORCEMENT CAN BE INCORPORATED IN A METAL MATRIX BY THE RELATIVELY SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE PROCESS OF SQUEEZE CASTING. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO UPGRADE THIS TECHNOLOGY TO PRODUCE MATERIALS WHICH ARE FULLY, RATHER THAN SELECTIVELY, REINFORCED BY UP TO 20 VOLUME PERCENT DISCONTINUOUS FIBERS ...

INTEGRATED OPTICS IS THE ANALOG OF INTEGRATED ELECTRONICS IN SEMICONDUCTOR CIRCUITS USED FOR COMMUNICATIONS PURPOSES. INTEGRATED OPTICS HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED WITH COMPONENTS THAT ARE COMBINED INTO SIMPLE HYBRID CIRCUITS, HOWEVER MONOLITHIC OPTICS HAS BEEN IMPEDED THROUGH DIFFICULTIES IN CONSTRUCTING COMPONENTS IN A SINGLE MATERIALS SYSTEM. GAAS AND ITS ALLOYS HOLD PROMISE AS CANDIDATES FOR MONOLIT ...

The goal of this Phase II SBIR is to extract more information from existing submarine acoustic sensors through a highly innovative inter- and intra-sensor correlation algorithmic, in order to provide U.S. submarines with increased acoustic superiority over increasingly quiet adversaries. U.S. adversaries are continuously improving their acoustic quieting technologies through efforts such as marine ...

RwM Resilient takes Redwall Technologies’ commercially-available multi-level mobile security solution, Redwall Mobile (RwM), to a new level by layering resilience into its operation. RwM represents the best in class protection for operating systems like Android and provides our patent pending method of combining cryptographic and temporal separation, which may be the only certain way to securely ...

This Phase II proposal focuses on the Air-to-Air RCS/RF Verification Scenario as providing the highest return on investment from industrial commerce and for benefit to the DON for operational RCS/RF Verification. The overall objectives of the Phase II Base and Phase II Option programs is to exploit the extensive capabilities of STAR’s BlueMax G7 Extreme Instrumentation Radar while employing cust ...

The ultimate goal of this SBIR effort is to deliver improvements to existing Fleet electronic warfare support systems by using statistical learning techniques to aid in the classification and unique identification of modern radar emitters. Since software-defined and solid-state emitters do not have the analog features traditionally used for classification, we will use more abstract, but well-defin ...

SEA CORP will leverage the innovative technologies developed under the prior SBIR Phase II project and extend the Research & Development (R&D) activities to the development of critical submarine combat system payload integration efforts. In the previous effort, components were successfully developed facilitating integration of Improved Submarine Launched Mobile Mine (ISLMM) capability aboard subma ...
