Holographic Radar Signal Processing
SBC: Chiaro Technologies LLC Topic: AF10BT29ABSTRACT: This STTR Phase I feasibility study is a collaboration between Chiaro Technologies LLC (Chiaro) and the University of Colorado (CU). The program assesses the feasibility of a prototype holographic range-Doppler signal processor with a code-name"HORUS". The HORUS processor can take element signals from a large linear phased array to produce simultaneous range-Doppler maps across many an ...

Directionally-Tailored Infrared Emission and/or Transmission
SBC: Capco Inc. Topic: AF10BT30ABSTRACT: The primary objective of the proposed STTR is to develop a low-cost, high performance material which is capable of directionally-tailored thermal emission and/or transmission control. By combining advanced electromagnetic band structure engineering techniques with low-cost, self-assembled fabrication methods, highly tunable, narrow-band emissivity control can be achieved over the entire ...

Agile beam/wavefront control for sub-aperture-based imaging systems
SBC: BOULDER NONLINEAR SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: AF10BT35ABSTRACT: Boulder Nonlinear Systems recently developed and delivered a beam scanner that non-mechanically steers a monochromatic, 5-cm beam over an 80a x 80a field of regard (FOR) with sub-milliradian resolution. This prototype uses a transmissive, wide-angle stepper (coarse steering unit), which is very compact and easily inserts into conformal, sub-aperture assemblies. To provide high resolut ...

Novel Signal Processing Techniques for Ballistic Coefficient Prediction
SBC: TECH-X CORPORATION Topic: AF10BT36ABSTRACT: Tracking of objects orbiting the Earth is of critical importance for continued safe development and use of space. Particularly important are low Earth orbit (LEO) objects, since these make up the majority of objects in the space catalog. To track these LEO objects, accurate models of the dominant forces are needed. Besides gravity, the dominant force on LEO objects is atmospheric drag a ...

Resonant cavity spectrometer on a chip
SBC: ITN ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: AF10BT39ABSTRACT: This Small Business Technology Transfer Research phase I program will develop a new class of chip level high resolution spectrometers using waveguide coupled resonant cavities. The basic concept can be used from visible to long wave IR wavelengths, limited only by available detector arrays and materials for low loss waveguides. Our proposed development will concentrate on short wave I ...

Novel Propellants for Variable Thrust/Isp Colloid Thrusters
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: AF08BT09ABSTRACT: Advanced spacecraft will demand thrusters that provide both extremely efficient operation for attitude control and high thrust for orbital transfer maneuvers, albeit with lower specific impulse. The colloid thruster, the most efficient of the electric thruster concepts, forms a Taylor cone to emit charged particles and produce thrust. Colloid thrusters typically emit charged droplets ...

Instrumentation for Nanoscale Spectroscopy
SBC: R H K Technology, Inc. Topic: AF08BT30ABSTRACT: This STTR proposal is the natural consequence of our collaboration that makes use of the established know-how under the MURI program, the established track record of RHK in commercialization of critical hardware, software and electronic controllers to implement scanning probe microscopy with nanometer scale resolution of structural, electrical and optical materials properties for more t ...

Solid-fueled Micro Colloid Thruster
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: T301Nanosatellites are receiving increased interest since they are proving reliable for surveillance, communication and other space missions. Also, the possibility of launching "constellations" of them offers unique capabilities for low-cost experimentation, sensing and communications in space. In comparison to larger spacecraft, their development time and costs have reduced and their launch costs a ...

A Self-Regulating Freezable Heat Exchanger for Spacecraft
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: T601A spacecraft thermal control system must keep the cabin (both air and its structure if manned) and electronic equipment within a narrow temperature range even though the environment may vary from very cold to warmer than room temperature. Since water is safe to use and an excellent coolant (other than its high freeze point and volumetric expansion during freeze), a water coolant loop often is use ...
