The ability to rapidly detect, identify and monitor chemical agents remains a challenge of significant importance to the Armed Forces. Existing chemical sensing techniques have shortcomings that inhibit widespread implementation. To address this situation, Ryon Technologies is developing a portable instrument that is based on Rydberg Fingerprint Spectroscopy (RFS) in combination with mass spectro ...

Key to phased arrays that can scale to high frequencies, bandwidth and large apertures is an architecture that enables full digital beamforming and large-array performance with minimum electronics per element. Out of the three proven beamforming methods for phased arrays: analog, conventional digital and spread spectrum digital beamforming (SSDBF), just the latter scales well to large arrays at hi ...

Advances in printing technologies may enable low-cost and flexible fabrication options for ignition bridges. The inherent nature of these direct write systems enables quick-turn prototyping for laboratory-scale development, while their high throughput allows low-cost production. The Blue Sky Engineering team proposes to develop printed explosive bridges based on its expertise in microdetonators ...
