Propagation Research Associates, Inc., (PRA) introduces two innovative algorithms to reduce fire control and missile filter transients in short time-of-flight guided missile engagements. A class of Smoothed Iterated Filters is developed as a more efficient implementation of the forward-backward filter and is shown to significantly reduce the impact of filter transients due to initialization error ...

The Embedded AAR System - as an end-to-end solution for both virtual and constructive exercises can save the army millions of man hours in efficient training and planning for military operations. The ability to perform complete mission functions (planning, conduct, review) from a common interface saves mission time allowing for more trials to be conducted and maximizes commonality of technologies ...

RNI proposed a unique integrated 3D solution to this problem, an innovative effort to design, develop and demonstrate an Embedded AAR System by integrating commercially available components. The innovative system performs bridging between virtual and live networks and allows the use of COTS man-machine interface devices and technologies. These technologies allow the participants (trainee, comman ...

Given the importance of composite repair to new aircraft like the F/A-22 and F-35 this SBIR research will provide significant improvement to the warfighter. The development of a powder resin, and dry fabric/Uni repair process that does not require freezer stored materials (room temperature storage), only typical vacuum bag and heat blanket. In phase 1 at the direction of the Air Force customer, ...

This proposal seeks to develop a system for quickly assessing the abort scenarios for a wide variety transportation concepts including space-access launchers, high-speed cruisers, sub-orbital systems, and strike vehicles with single and multistage elements utilizing air-breathing (turbine, RBCC, combined-cycle, etc.) and rocket propulsion systems. Through an exhaustive assessment of the possible f ...

Combustion powered actuation (COMPACT) is a flow control technology developed at Georgia Tech which utilizes a miniature combustion chamber (cubic centimeter scale) to produce high-speed pulsed jets suitable for aerodynamic flow control (separation control, drag reduction, shock control, etc.) at transonic or supersonic speeds. The system is lightweight, can be operated with passive fluidic valve ...

Virtual Aerosurface Technologies, Inc. proposes an SBIR program for the adaptation of combustion powered actuation (COMPACT) flow control devices to the task of fuselage drag reduction on rotorcraft. COMPACT uses a small-scale combustion process to produce high velocity pulsed jets for flow control applications and has previously demonstrated strong control authority for reattachment of separated ...

This proposal describes the impetus towards the development of low cost and high performance SiGe (Silicon Germanium) based millimeter wave power amplifier ICs for phased array transmit applications. We have developed innovative millimeter wave power amplifiers designs in Phase I for Q-band and in Phase II, we will fabricate, test, and productize these designs in a low cost commercial SiGe HBT (he ...

Transforming the military into a sophisticated, lighter force able to mobilize quickly in response to crises around the world requires technological advancement in the production and distribution of drinking water. Recent Operation evaluations for both bottled water and bulk water use indicates that significant improvements in safety, cost, taste, distribution, and security are required to meet th ...

Opportunity - Wet weather pollution is reported to be the largest water quality problem in the nation with an estimated solution at $400 billion with a regulation driven market for cities and industries to control stormwater and sewer overflows. Studies show that flow control to attenuate hydraulic rates by utilizing available storage will optimize treatment capacity and reduce downstream water q ...
