Corvid Technologies will develop in-situ instrumentation to measure key physical states in reacting high explosives. The emerging measurement capability will provide state information to support lethality analysis by enabling equation of state development for computational models, as well as fast-running engineering codes for evaluating HE response to stimuli. Development of internal temperature ...

QmagiQ, LLC proposes to partner with The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc. to experimentally study radiation effects on antimony-based strained layer superlattice (SLS) photodiodes that have shown remarkable performance improvements in recent years. QmagiQ's SLS infrared focal plane arrays (FPAs) are already designed to be radiation-hard to some degree. In Phase I, we will measure how rad-ha ...

Bennett Advanced Research of Raleigh, NC propose to demonstrate the procedure for validating, qualifying and predicting part quality and allowing for the certification of parts made via additive manufacturing (AM). We will focus on non-critical parts for affordable missile defense applications. Approved for Public Release | 16-MDA-8917 (15 November 16)

Corvid proposes the development of a physics-based Artificial Scene Generator (ASG) and associated Material Delivery System (MDS) software control loop that can adapt to variable target dynamics, environmental conditions, MDS deployment settings, and missile defense sensor scene requirements. Corvid teams existing physics-based modeling tools will be leveraged to model all aspects of the MDS and ...

Initial research into potential in-situ KA sensor technologies has uncovered viable sensor technologies and demonstrated the existence of exploitable features that could discriminate between objects of similar shape and size, but very different materials and internal structure. A few different KA sensor types have been hypothesized and it is likely that more than one sensor type is necessary to co ...

The primary objective of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II proposed effort is to develop and test Post-Intercept Assessment (PIA) strategies and feature calculation methodologies using high-fidelity, physics-based (hydro-code) modeling of missile defense engagements. The effort will leverage emerging SBIR/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) technologies being developed ...

There is an ever-growing need for increased battery performance in weight-sensitive and volume-constrained applications. Also needed is the ability to develop batteries with non-standard form factors to accommodate tight size constraints. Erigo and our collaborators at EaglePicher Technologies propose to develop a thermal battery by leveraging advances in cathode formulations, fabrication techniqu ...

Idaho Scientific proposes the development of Secure Protocol Unalterable Data (SPUD) as a means to identify activity against system technologies. Approved for Public Release | 17-MDA-9219 (31 May 17)

The proposed work improves modeling impact and sensor response. More accurate predictions of the relevant debris scenes will be accomplished by improving material characterization methods, implementing new numerical damage mechanisms, and utilizing those mechanisms with enhanced material modeling capabilities to evaluate the tearing response. Additionally, improvements regarding simulated sensor ...

Corvid Technologies is pleased to offer this Small Business Tecnology Transfer Phase II proposal in collaboration with The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), Spectral Sciences Inc. (SSI) and Torch Technologies. Capabilities from each collaborator are being combined toward the ability to perform accurate, fast-running electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) signature predictions of missile i ...
