Grid-Spacing-Independent and Discretization-Order-Independent Simulation for Naval Single-Phase and Two-Phase Flow Applications
SBC: Kord Technologies, Inc. Topic: N15AT002Turbulent shear flows in naval applications are characterized by vastly different lengths and time scales associated with rotor tip vortices and the vortical structures shed from the ship, and additional phase from water drops and water vapor. To tackle the modeling challenges, we propose a novel methodology that combines a vorticity preserving method and a new approach to LES turbulence modeling ...

Pseudospectral Optimal Control for Flight Trajectory Optimization
SBC: STOCHASTECH CORPORATION Topic: N15AT006The computation and real-time implementation of controls in nonlinear systems remains one of the great challenges for applying optimal control theory in demanding aerospace and industrial systems. Often, linearization around a set point is the only practical approach, and many controllers implemented in hardware systems are simple linear feedback mechanisms. From proportional guidance in missiles ...

In Situ Inspection of Additive Manufactured Metallic Parts Using Laser Ultrasonics
SBC: Intelligent Optical Systems, Inc. Topic: N15AT008Additive manufacturing (AM) is a very promising technique for rapid, low-cost production of aircraft parts directly from a CAD file. AM is especially appealing for complex parts that would be costly or impossible to fabricate by machining or casting. At the current time there are no reliable, cost-effective techniques to qualify the finished parts. Several government studies have noted this gap an ...

High Fidelity Rotorcraft Towing Modeling and Simulation with Towed Magnetic Anomaly Detection System
SBC: ADVANCED ROTORCRAFT TECHNOLOGY, INC. Topic: N15AT009Towing of a Magnetic Anomaly Detection (MAD) system is an important aspect of rotorcraft maritime operation in support of Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW). The vibratory rotary wing platform combined with the long and flexible towing cable, the low mass ratio of the towed body to the total mass (the sum of the tow body and the towing aircraft), and the rotor downwash impingement on the towed body duri ...

Reliable Manufacturing of Scandia-Doped Tungsten Powders for Thermionic Cathodes
SBC: NGIMAT, LLC Topic: N15AT010In this STTR effort nGimat will partner with the University of Kentucky to develop a new process for manufacturing scandia-doped tungsten powder for use in vacuum tube cathode devices. While a significant amount of research over the last several decades has shown promise for scandate cathode materials, reliable manufacturing processes that enable commercialization of this technology have remained ...

Nanocomposite Scandate Tungsten Powder for High Current Density and Long Life Thermionic Cathodes
SBC: Vacuum Process Engineering, Inc. Topic: N15AT010Vacuum Process Engineering Inc. in collaboration with the UC Davis millimeter wave research group proposes to develop a large scale production process for nanocomposite scandate tungsten powder for advanced high current density and long life thermionic cathodes that have been previously demonstrated by UC Davis to be superior to the commercially available state-of-the-art. The produced cathodes de ...

Aircraft Carrier-based Precision Ship-Relative Navigation Guidance for Aircraft Landing under Emissions Control Conditions
SBC: SA Photonics, Inc. Topic: N15AT014This proposal describes an all optical fixed wing landing system for a aircraft carrier capable of flying an aircraft all the way to landing in a RF denied environment. The precision, reliability and accuracy of this system will allow control the aircraft without the help from the pilot all the way to touch down. It will work seamlessly with UAVs and manned aircraft that have been retrofitted with ...

High Hesitivity Magnetic Materials for Magnetic Toroid and Flat Dipole Antennas
SBC: JEM ENGINEERING, LLC Topic: N16AT001In our Phase I program, JEM and ASU will demonstrate a low cost manufacturing process to achieve the full theoretical hesitivity of a magnetic film that would enable greater effective hesitivity laminate. In Phase II we will develop a viable continuous process for two such materials to achieve light weight, low cost, and improved radiation efficiency; and we will seek to productize this process to ...
