In this SBIR Phase I program teaming with the primary ABL system integrator, Advanced Powder Solutions will develop a low cost light weight, high strength, high temperature resistant, iodine, chlorine, helium, ammonia, caustic compatible corrosion resistant composite material. For replacement of current heavier systems, the Phase I program will involve with the fabrication and testing of systems ...

The goal of this program is to develop high-speed interceptor communications solutions that are hardened to space and nuclear radiation, including high altitude nuclear explosions (HANEs). AET will design and develop lateral emission-based diamond integrated logic circuits that have been electrically tested, packaged, and characterized for temperature insensitivity and radiation hardness A lateral ...

The overall objective of the two phase SBIR program is to develop a hypergolic leak detector (HLD) that can be mounted on the outside of a missile canister which is able to detect rapid changes in concentration that signal leaks of hypergolic rocket fuels and oxidizers. In Phase I Applied Nanotech, Inc. (ANI) established that a solid state gated metal oxide sensors was sufficiently sensitive to p ...

The focus of this proposal is the aftermath of a successful missile intercept, where the resulting fragments fall toward land or sea. This study will develop an approach to quantify shape parameters in a useful way to feed to a designed algorithm set governing lift and drag. The goal will be to enable trajectory analysis based upon lift and drag characteristics. Driving parameters such as the s ...

The goal of this Phase I SBIR effort is to develop innovative techniques that exploit distributed apertures to defeat mainlobe jammers of MDA radar systems. Phase I will develop basic concepts for distributed aperture signal processing in this domain and establish their feasibility using a computer simulation model. A Phase II demonstration plan will be developed, with emphasis on a near real-time ...

The proposed effort is to build a high resolution, high speed spatial light modulator (SLM) to be used in infrared (IR) spectral projectors. An IR spectral projector produces programmable spectra by dispersing light onto a programmable array, currently digital micromirror devices (DMDs), which either transmit or block selected components of the light. the light is then recombined to form complex s ...

Colorado Engineering, Inc (CEI) is a woman owned business with a wealth of engineering expertise in the development of boards, software and systems for DOD radar applications. In recent years a lot of signal processing applications have been implemented with a homogeneous general purpose processor environment. The driving forces for utilizing these technologies in radar signal processing archite ...

Earthshine and skyshine illuminate missiles and space-based sensors. It is important to quantitatively understand their contribution to the incident infrared, visible, and ultraviolet irradiance on missiles and sensors to be able to assess their impact on the missile defense mission. Computational Physics, Inc. (CPI) proposes to develop and demonstrate an architecture capable of hosting a first- ...

Defense acquisition programs have difficulty estimating manufacturing costs during development. This is particularly acute for MDA because their systems use leading edge technologies that push the envelope for performance reasons. In addition, MDA is developing new technologies for spiral upgrades, so the total lifecycle cost for the portfolio of systems must be managed, along with the cost of ...

Data Fusion Corporation (DFC) and Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems, see attached support letter, propose the development of a BMD Operation Plan Response (BOPR) gaming framework. BOPR is a testbed that will allow the simulation and analysis of multiple Red team attack strategies and Blue team defensive responses. BOPR will be able model all relevant aspects of both red and blue's weapons, and ...
