In this Air Force Phase I STTR program, MATECH proposes to demonstrate novel pre-ceramic polymer systems complimenting the development of Ultra High Temperature (UHT), high ceramic yield, refractory ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). A leader in developme...

This proposal describes the development of a process to synthesize low defect Ge1-xSnx and SiyGe1-x-ySnx layers on silicon and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates through low thermal budget excimer laser and rapid thermal annealing/crystallization for ...

Future gas turbine propulsion designs, in addition to incorporating variable geometrical engine features, will require controlling and integrating large power generation/extraction, as well as, managing thermal limits of the components. The engine contro...

A diagnostic is proposed for obtaining instantaneous three-dimensional volumetric distributions of density in a flow field at velocities ranging from subsonic to supersonic. Two variants of laser-based Rayleigh scattering will be investigated, each of wh...

allowing the sensitive RF front-end to be located away from the now more compact phased array antenna. We are proposing a rugged photonic integrated spatial division multiplexing RF link for phased array system with low cost, size, weight and power cons...

We propose to develop a 3D tomographic background-orientated Schlieren measurement technique, including hardware setup and post-processing software to produce 3D visualization of compressible flow features in subsonic, transonic, and supersonic wind tunn...

Next-generation intelligent engines will operate at higher temperatures for increased efficiency and will migrate from centralized to distributed control. There is critical need for sensors for operation at ultra-high temperatures (3000F). Conven...

ExoAnalytic Solutions, teamed with Texas A&M University, will develop Highly-mobile Autonomous Rapidly Relocatable Integrated Electro-optical Resources (HARRIER) with the goal being to design and demonstrate tracking of resident space objects (RSOs) in n...

The modern warfighter faces the constant threat of endemic infections, multi-drug resistant bacteria and Biological Warfare Agents. In order to provide accurate front-line treatment that will curtail the overuse of antibiotics, a rapid and robust molecula

Commercially-derived telescope systems, consisting mostly of commercially available components assembled to optimally meet space surveillance goals, stand ready to temporarily replace, supplement and/or augment existing optical surveillance systems. In t...
