Busek Co. Inc. and The University of Notre Dame propose to develop room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) that are robust, non-volatile, transparent, radiation hard, and atmospherically tolerant for use in electrolytes for reversible electroplating applica...

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...

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...

Automatic target recognition (ATR)the identification of a potential target based on signatures in sensor datais fundamentally a question of information content. While ATR has been studied for decades, it remains a challenge because multifarious tar...

Advanced infrared imaging techniques are of great interest but associated high costs of III-V and II-VI SWIR and MWIR materials prohibit their widespread deployment and integration with other optoelectronic devices. Freedom Photonics and its team partner...

Tensile-strained germanium tin structures will be developed for infrared emitters and detectors that are compatible with silicon fabrication processes.Optical detectors in the wavelength range of 2-5 microns will be developed by using GeSn on silicon ...

Triton is proposing to develop a family of preceramic polymers and polymer formulations that will produce group 4 (Zr and Hf) carbides and carbide/boride mixtures in good yield. The target yield for the program is 60 vol%. The goal is to develop material...

Increasing system capabilities in terms of weapon systems, ISR payloads, GNC, etc., enabled by smaller and more capable electronics systems have led to a trend for overall size reduction in military aircraft. This has resulted in a reduction in the avail...
