Phase II designs, develops, and delivers Intelligent Collision Detection and Warning System to the U.S. Air Force. The proposed Phase II project is an extension of the Phase I project ¿¿Low Cost Autonomous GPS Based Collision Avoidance System¿¿, and acontinuation of AGNC's efforts in the development of advanced avionics systems and technologies for military and commercial applications. Each ai ...

The Phase II objective is to develop web-based training that increases Army officers' critical thinking ability. The need for such training was confirmed by the results of Phase I where it was shown that (1) critical thinking (CT) skills are important toBattle Command success, (2) poor CT performance creates serious problems for Command/Control, and (3) military curriculum does not train CT skill ...

The overall objective of the Phase II effort is to improve the Army aviator's ability to perform night missions by developing innovative symbols that capitalize on the advantages of new wide-field of view (WFOV) helmet-mounted displays (HMDs). We willbuild upon the successes of the Phase I effort, in which we identified more than 100 valuable new symbols through mission analyses, developed the sym ...

The problem addressed is through-life non-destructive monitoring of adhesivelybonded structures. The concept presented is to produce a

We propose to develop a general method for the high brightness fiber-coupied laser diode system. The overall goal of this program is to deliver a brightness of 1.4 Mega Watt cm-2 sr-1 laser power system from a single fiber with a high power ourput. Thepackage will have high power density, compact dimension and light in weight. As Phase II prototype, the coupling efficiency will over 63% for whol ...

The objective for this SBIR program is to develop and demonstrateone or more integrated sensor devices that will measure,simultaneously and at the same location, temperature, electricalconductivity, and depth (via a MEMS pressure transducer). Weemploy a sensor technology that, by design, can be mass-producedat low cost, yet achieves performance that is the same orsuperior to that currently availab ...

Superconducting generators and RF magnets will be the leading technologies for high electrical power systems on aircraft, spacecraft and ground based systems in future DoD applications. These systems employ High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) materialsoperating at cryogenic temperatures. Future HTS systems will employ Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO) which requires cooling near 65K. At pre ...

Phase I work has culminated in a p type doping approach and the formulation of a material/device fabrication approach which can assure high quantum efficiency along with a high R0A performance.Phase II work aims to optimize this p type doping/device fabrication approach and demonstrate high performance 256x256 mosaics of LWIR HgCdTe photodiodes hybridized to Si Read Out Integration Chips.

Modern Army vehicles require durable, modular, lightweight structures with high survivability armor integration. Application of smart structure concepts combined with advanced composite materials offer the potential for a new series of structural systemsto meet these requirements.During Phase I of the project the accurate modeling of advanced composites at multi-scale levels was demonstrated. It i ...

Advanced EFP warheads provide a number of modeling challenges that must be handled well to make designs feasible, but are very difficult to accomplish with current state of the art, general purpose solver technology. The principal challenge has recentlymoved to user interface problems as it takes too long for models to be prepared and parameter studies cannot be completed in a reasonable amount o ...
