"The Air Force requires the capability to provide cryogenic cooling of electronics, focal plane arrays, and cryogenic fluids for long term (over five year) space missions. In Phase II, we propose to continue developing enabling technology for long-termspace-based low-temperature (

"Combat systems have historically been developed through a process that focuses on insular subsystems. This process has resulted in severe limitations on system interoperability and technical obsolescence. In addition, excessive life cycle costs areassociated with maintaining multiple configurations to ensure some level of interoperability. To overcome these limitations, new emphasis has been plac ...

"Our Phase I SBIR project performed innovative research to addressthis problem. This research investigated the feasibility ofdeveloping a multi-purpose, crash survivable, universal flightinformation system and data recorder (UFDR). The UFDR willdigitally process and record structural, engine/propulsion,electrical/avionics, environmental, exceedance, and event data tocrash survivable memory with c ...

"The proposed Phase II SBIR Study for bi-static echo ranging withunknown sources of opportunity defines an integrated analysisapproach and several innovative processing techniques that willproduce an effective submarine sonar design. The increasing needfor active echo detection is driven by the continually evolvingquieter threat submarines and noisier acoustic environments thatseverely limit passi ...

"This Phase II proposal addresses the hardware implementation of a sensor/radar transmitting a target-matched adaptive packet signal (MAP) defined over the time and frequency domains and permitting ultrahigh resolution, high signal-to-noise andclutter-reduced detection of designated targets. The goal of the proposal is to modify the subcontractor's, Raytheon's, testbed and demonstrate selective i ...

The goal of this SBIR proposal is to evaluate the suitability of the WESCAM Model 14 EO sensor, currently deployed in the Predator, for oceanographic research use in the Naval Postgraduate School's "Pelican" optionally piloted aircraft. Sensor specifications will be based on Arete's extensive experience in remote sensing of the ocean, and engineering specifications developed with the Naval P ...

The human genome project spurred the development of high throughput technologies, especially in the area of DNA sequencing. Not only has this effort produced a draft of the human genome, it's catalyzed development of an entire industry based on DNA sequencing and genomics. Since these technologies produce enormous amounts of data they depend on bioinformatics programs for da ...

Microwave Technologies Incorporated is proposing the development of a very compact radio-frequency (rf) electron beam accelerator which appears to be well-suited for BMDO's directed energy applications. This novel concept employs a single short rf cavity operating in circular polarization to accelerate a low-energy ma ~netized pencil beam to energies that range from 2 to 10 MeV. The proposed accel ...

Non invasive MRI evaluation of the carotid artery wall lumen and blood flow patterns is hampered by the lack of a comprehensive and anatomically correct commercially available flow phantom. The objective of this project is to develop an advanced artificial carotid artery flow phantom for use in developing MRI applications to identify patients at risk for transient ischemic attack or strokes. In Ph ...
