ATA Engineering, Inc., (ATA) developed and demonstrated a prototype SSCS for performing ground-based calibration of structural health sensors installed within the wings and horizontal/vertical tails of the F/A-18 aircraft. An automated user interface and...

A program to develop a real-time, compact, infrared multispectral imager is proposed. The proposed Compact Multispectral Infrared Targeting System (C-MITS) builds upon Surface Optics’ real-time hyperspectral imaging activities, including our 3D full-motion video spectral imaging (FMV-SI) technology and our MIDIS hyperspectral image processor. Simultaneously sampling from 16 spectral bands from 1 ...

The objective of the present proposal is to develop and apply accurate, robust and cost-effective methodologies for the prediction of the interior nozzle flow, seamlessly coupled with high-fidelity large eddy simulation (LES) for the prediction of the jet plume and radiated noise. Based on the Phase I results, the meshing strategy and the wall modeling inside the nozzle were identified as the two ...

"The evolution in safe and arm (S&A) devices to in-line electronic S&A and Arm-Fire devices (ESAD/EAFD) have not tracked closely with the incredible cost- and size-reductions made by electronics. Large electro-mechanical S&A devices used in rocket motor ignition systems have become one of the notable cost elements on current missile systems. Developing and delivering smaller, in-line, electronic S ...

The Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA’s) THAAD system is capable of detecting and intercepting ballistic missile threats. Hypergolic fuels are used in these missiles for inducing spontaneous ignition. These fuels are toxic, and require monitoring of leakage. InnoSense LLC (ISL) has developed a prototype sensor following Lockheed Martin (LM) specifications. ISL sensors are designed to serve as a dr ...

A universal Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is developed to interface with best-in-class symmetric resonator/transducer assemblies and provide a navigation grade digital or analog gyroscope output. It supports conventional Coriolis Vibratory Gyro (CVG) operation including Rate Gyro and Rate Integrating Gyro as well as recent advanced CVG approaches including dual mode-reversed RGs a ...

Ballistic Devices is developing a capacitor that utilizes Cubic Zirconia, a single crystal high-K dielectric material. The single crystal design approach is expected to enable orders of magnitude improvement in energy density over conventional ceramic capacitor designs. It is expected that these components will be able to operate at near the theoretical dielectric breakdown field strength and enab ...

This program develops an optical-grade tape/adhesive with very low particle count (so not to block light) for the purposed of making a protector for fiber optic connector interfaces. The technology is currently designed for MT ferrules, and is called "MT Saver". The process of fabricating the film will be improved: improving the laser cutting process (upgrading to a better laser), limiting the exp ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant In the andquot Enhancing Confidentiality of Research Files Based on Medicare Dataandquot project Acumen LLC aims to expand the overall capabilities of researchers to use survey linked Medicare claims data Currently the process for obtaining approval from the Centers for Medicare andamp Medicaid Services CMS to access these files entails significant paper ...

Hadal Inc. is partnering with the Pennsylvania State University through its Applied Research Laboratory (PSU:ARL) to develop a 6000 depth rated d36-based shear mode transducer. The combined experience provides an opportunity to develop and test a single crystal projector for incorporation into Navy and commercial systems. The discovery of a large longitudinal (d36) shear coefficient in piezo-cryst ...
