High-Speed Weapon Radomes
SBC: FIRST RF CORPORATION Topic: AF121092As more and more advanced hypersonic weapons are developed, vehicle temperatures are expected to near 1250°K (977°C); as flight times increase, these temperatures are expected to saturate the entire vehicle. Typically, forward-looking RF and IR sensors are collocated in the same protective radome, which degrades the performance of both systems. FIRST RF proposes a significantly different app ...

Multi-functional Membrane Deorbit Module and Deployable High Gain Reflectarray
SBC: M.M.A. DESIGN LLC Topic: AF083198As Department of Defense (DoD) needs and requirements change, there is a developing need for Radio Frequency (RF) antenna systems that can support higher performance missions. These missions require increased apertures to be available from the same satellite platform, and will additionally require that this capability be delivered at a lower mission cost. MMA Design has developed a concept for a n ...

Catalytic N2O Decomposition for Piloted Scramjet Ignition
SBC: REACTION SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: AF083121Achieving hypersonic flight with air breathing vehicles using logistics fuels is a demanding task. A significant challenge in the development of single use and reusable systems alike is ignition of the scramjet engine at low Mach numbers. Unfortunately, current ignition systems do not provide reliable performance at low Mach number. Therefore, there is a strong need for a significant ignition capa ...

Cell-to-Cell Thermal/Projectile Communication Mitigation during Thermal Runaway in Batteries
SBC: ADA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: AF141071Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries are ubiquitous in space and military applications, generating more efficient and effective systems. The increase in Li-ion cells also represents an increase in hazardous cell failure instances. Electrical shorting, overcharging, over-discharging, and physical damage to the cells can result in thermal runaway (TR), yielding violent and explosive events that can result ...

Direct to Phase II Open Topic: Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions with a Clear Air Force Stakeholder Need
SBC: LONG CAPTURE & CONTRACT MANAGEMENT LLC Topic: AF192D001Our adversaries are investing in new defense technology at a record-setting pace. To combat this the AF has stood up several innovation offices to pull in commercial technology. However, these innovation offices face many challenges from the acquisition process and are limited in the commercial technology they can use for engaging, tracking, and interacting with private industry.

Global Surveillance Augmentation Using Commercial Satellite Imaging Systems
SBC: VISION SYSTEMS INC Topic: AF153001ABSTRACT:A system is proposed to access, collate and process imagery from multiple small satellite constellations. The imagery is fused and registered to a common reference so that exploitation algorithms, such as change detection and event monitoring, are reported with accurate geographic coordinates. The system, called SatTel, is implemented as open source software that is designed to run on the ...
