Award Data

The widespread use of communication devices and radar systems has made our society increasingly vulnerable to disruptive high-power, short-pulse electromagnetic interference (EMI) and high power microwaves (HPM). Significant advances in devices thatproduce these high-power, short pulses have been made in the US and abroad in the past few decades. As a result, the need for devices that can protect ...

Accurate Automation Corporation is proposing the development of a plasma limiter for the protection of sensing electronic equipment from high power EM radiation. The Limiter is essentially a self-breaking, fine-point, electrode placed within the receivingtransmission line. In Phase I, AAC will begin development and testing of the concept in an S-band resonant ring located at Texas Tech University. ...

A System-Level Modeling Framework for electromagnetic modeling is proposed. The heart of the Framework is a rule-based, whole-object conversion process that takes Computer Aided Design (CAD) geometry and material data and transforms it into valid,electromagnetic geometry and material modeling elements. The CAD Converter creates an

This work will design, develop, and implement a system-level electromagnetic simulation framework that increases the productivity of all participants in an EM analysis of a complex system by providing a collaborative engineering environment in which theparticipants easily construct simulation models, share and re-use data, create computational capabilities that utilize a suite of EM modeling tools ...

Atmospheric Glow Technologies (A-G Tech) proposes to develop an innovative mobile Atmospheric Plasma Decon (APD) System based upon the patented One Atmosphere Uniform Glow Discharge Plasma (OAUGDP) technology. This advanced system will be a deployablemilitary protection system that will decontaminate highly toxic chemicals and microorganisms on sensitive equipment, personnel protective equipment, ...

Certain weapons produce blast waves capable of trauma to gas-filled organs. There is an immediate need for a blast mitigation jacket to prevent lung damage when training with such weapons, and a similar need for combatants. Our first objective in PhaseII is to complete the research and development of fundamental blast mitigation concepts developed during Phase I. During Phase I, we used analyti ...

While explosive munitions are quite effective at causing damage due to blast and fragments, their radius of damage is somewhat limited. We seek here to introduce a method of increasing the damage radius by adding an RF weapon system to the munition,consisting of an impulse source and a broadband antenna. By this technique, additional damage will be created in the area by upsetting computers and co ...

FSCX will develop a methodology and system design that will lead to a Phase II SBIR prototype, which will provide automated, decision support products to improve collective performance in training and real world operations. The prototype will improveindividual and collective understanding in information intensive, digital environments. FSCX calls this prototype SpectoAgnito, a coined term meanin ...
