In this proposal, Quadrant Engineering seeks SBIR funds to investigate technologies leading to the development of a compact, low-cost multifunction radar system for use aboard an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). If successful, the proposed radar system will provide airborne early warning (AEW), ground mapping and ground motion-detection capabilities. Several novel antenna concepts will be in ...

The overall objective of Phase I and Phase II is to develop (1) the mathematical means to design, control, and modify a minesweeping operation in order to minimuze the time needed to nullify a minefield with specified assets in the light of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) products that become available befor and during the mine countermeasure operation and (2) a software imple ...

High pixel count display operation at high frame rates requires high frequency display circuits and a fast light modulation media. Kopin's AMLCD display technology utilizes fast CMOS circuits fabricated in single crystal silicon, which are superior to circuits fabricated in poly-crystaline silicon and amorphous silicon. Display circuits are fabricated on SOI wafers in conventional CMO ...

THE PROBLEMS OF ATTENUATING DUCTED NOISE AND DISTRIBUTED NOISE ARE ADDRESSED USING ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION TECHNIQUES. FOR DUCTED NOISE, A COMBINATION OF COMMERCIAL ANC EQUIPMENT WITH LOW PRESSURE DROP MUFFLERS IN AN SVS PROPRIETARY CONFIGURATION WILL BE EXAMINED. COST AND PERFORMANCE TRADES BETWEEN THE ACTIVE CONFIGURATION AND PASSIVE MUFFLERS WILL BE MADE AND AN EXPERIMENT WILL BE DESIGNED FOR ...

Existing materials used for marine cable connectors each have drawbacks in terms of cost or performance. Alden Products Company proposes a program to develop a family of cable connectors and adapters that lower the present cost/performance barrier in two ways; through the use of alternative materials and through new manufacturing methods using the existing materials. The main goals of P ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) and its subcontractor Pacific Advanced Technologies (PAT) propose to determine the feasibility of an advanced high quality imaging system for threat detection and identification in support of surface ship self protection. Low flying threats which pop-up over the horizon will be the scenario of principle focus. Two approaches will be evaluated: adaptive optics a ...

The Navy currently uses air deployed underwater Sound Underwater Source (SUS) charges to aid in gathering oceanographic data. While explosive sources offer a number of advantages, they also have a number of key limitations including: the lack of repetitive capability from a single container, safety concerns and associated costs, and complex broadband signal. An electrical discharge based acoustic ...
