The scope of this work includes design, analysis, manufacturing, integration, and test of the GO1 hypersonic flight test platform. The Contractor shall complete design of the system, qualify the system for flight through ground testing, and validate the f

The USAF repair depots expend tremendous amounts of resources applying high technology thermal spray coatings to improve the performance of components and systems. In general, thermal spray application processes are complex, requires high cost equipment that are expensive to operate, need highly trained personnel and necessitate constant verification testing to ascertain the coatings meet requirem ...

Technology Service Corporation (TSC) will develop innovative waveforms and exploitation algorithms for concurrent synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and moving target indication (MTI) in contested RF environments to counter emerging threats from commercial un

ABSTRACT: DZYNE Technologies, Inc., proposes a Phase II SBIR effort to continue development of MONARCH, a Mobile Onboard Nexus for Autonomy and Radical Computation Handling. MONARCH shall provide an elastic, embedded computing capability for hosting operationally-relevant classes of software applications onboard manned and unmanned systems through the interoperation of distributed, networked compu ...

To reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency, composites are being adhesively bonded into integral structural elements of aircraft at an accelerating rate. Once a bonded structure is assembled, there is no conventional NDI method available to assure that bond strength is adequate for service. The presence of weak regions in bonds can lead to disastrous failure of the structure under flight loads ...

Air Force platforms utilize nutplates to attach components when fasteners access is limited. Damaged nutplates require timely replacement and approved repair techniques mandate the use of certified adhesives, typically requiring a lengthy 24 hour cure at room temperature. Therefore, Air Force repair depots are faced with the difficult situation of performing high volume, timely nutplate repairs us ...

Building on the successfully completed Phase I SBIR project, an innovative method for titanium 6Al-4V blade repair is proposed for development and maturation during the Phase II effort. Upon completion of development and qualification, this IBD (integrally bladed disk) blade repair process will be applicable to F119 and F135 titanium alloy IBD blades. IBD blades are susceptible to damage beyond bl ...

SARA will develop an L-band detection sensor node that will detect, characterize, and geo-locate GPS jammers. At least eight nodes will be produced and they will be networked into an integrated surveillance system. The integrated, multi-node system will be controlled by a central monitoring system, where real-time surveillance results will be displayed to the end-user. The system will be tested an ...

Environmental temperature extremes pose serious stresses for the human body, placing it in danger of injury or death. Even mild heat illness and dehydration can significantly degrade Warfighter performance. Likewise, exposure to cold weather can lead to serious health issues, including hypothermia, frostbite, nonfreezing cold injuries, and more. The objective of this effort is to develop a highl ...

The primary objectives of the proposed effort are to enhance, expand, and validate a variable-fidelity transient multi-domain software toolset called ATTMO+ for predicting and analyzing the dynamic interactions at a mission-level timescale between electri
