High Power PM Fiber Laser Coupler
SBC: ACCURATE AUTOMATION CORPORATION Topic: MDA09036Fiber lasers have emerged as a promising technology for future high energy laser (HEL) weapons systems, having demonstrated single mode, CW operation at 10kW power level and high electrical to optical conversion efficiency (>25%). However, commercial fiber lasers are not practical for beam combining to obtain the higher power (100kW) levels required for future weapons systems without sacrificing ...

Thermal Protective Coatings for Interceptor Missiles
SBC: Adherent Technologies, Inc. Topic: MDA09007This SBIR project will address the combined effects of aerothermal heating, rain erosion, and moisture and gas diffusion on the degradation of interceptor missile radomes designed for hypersonic travel. A novel method of protecting hypersonic interceptor missiles from the rigors experienced at velocities several times the speed of sound is proposed. The technology is based on the conversion of a ...

Creation of a Global UV-VIS-IR Ocean Background Model That is a Function of Time, Location and Sea State
SBC: COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS, INC. Topic: MDA09035Next generation ballistic missile warning, defense and surveillance systems need to anticipate, through modeling and simulation, the background radiation of the battlespace environment, including geometries that intercept the ocean background. This objective requires prior knowledge of the environmental radiance conditions for development of optimal sensors and detection approaches. Much work has ...

Super Lightweight, Rad Hard, Morphing, Synergistic Structures for BMDS Kill Vehicles
SBC: NANOSONIC INC. Topic: MDA09004NanoSonic has developed Shape Memory Metal Rubber™ (SM-MR) skins that exhibit reconfigurable and durable RF properties and can be repeatedly and severely morphed without loss of EMI shielding (-88dB). Recently, it was found that SM-MR exhibits greater gamma ray attenuation relative to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) radiation shielding materials, and does not emit harmful secondary radiation un ...
