3 Sigma Research and Professor Sushil Jajodia propose an innovative technology that protects against

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project proposes a solar-based expandable, parallel-connected power system with robust maximum power point tracking (MPPT) capability. As the need for flexible, scalable solar power requirements increases,and in an effort to avoid the redesign of the solar based power systems, a modular infrastructure of power processing management is implemented fo ...

The Athena Group will implement an innovative, low-power fast Fourier transform (FFT), digital excision filter (DEF), and inverse FFT (IFFT) processor for use in mitigating both intentional and unintentional narrowband jamming and interference in handheldglobal positioning system (GPS) receivers. Athena's advanced digital signal processing (DSP) technology is capable of performance per unit power ...

The Air Force has identified a need to develop innovative concepts that use low-value assets to gather timely and accurate bomb damage assessment (BDA) information. The focus of the Phase II research is to develop a munition deployed micro air vehicle(MAV) for BDA applications. The concept is to attach an expendable MAV to an air-launched munition. The MAV, which is housed in a parachute-equipp ...

The U.S. Air Force is pursuing the development of guided small diameter bombs (SDBs) while imposing challenging requirements for high-altitude launches at relatively slow speeds. Recognizing that such systems and requirements may preclude the use ofconventional fuzes (e.g., the FMU-152), the Air Force has initiated efforts to develop innovative fuzes which do not derive arming power from the trad ...

High efficiency narrowband infrared reflectors are being considered for applications in optical communications, remote sensing, optical limiting and laser hardening. In order to protect space-based sensors without diminishing the capabilities of thesecomponents, it is necessary to reflect impinging optical beams at threat wavelengths while supporting high optical transmission at detection waveleng ...

The Mu-LV Small Launch Vehicle employs hybrid propulsion technology to create a cost effective and operationally responsive system. During the proposed effort a refined system design will be completed and extensively analyzed and traded to optimize theoverall vehicle. The project ends with a static firing of a hybrid booster to demonstrate the feasibility of the technical concept. The benefits ...

Modasco proposes extending the capability of its architectural modeling toolkit to include model execution and evaluation. Visual Simulation Objects (VSO) represents complex systems as Colored Petri Nets (CPNs) that form the basis for simulating theperformance of large, concurrently-firing systems. This enhancement will allow mathematically complex business rules to be embedded in a design, thereb ...

The overall objective of this DoD proposal is to develop an advancedmaterials and coatings test rig for the gas turbine industry for thepurpose of understanding how hot gas path materials and coatings willperform under advanced turbine operating conditions. Emerging missions suchas deep strike as supported through the VAATE program are being designed tooperate at high overall pressure ratios, high ...
