Miniaturization of Thermoacoustic Expander for 50 mW Recuperative Coolers Run Below 40 K
SBC: CRYOWAVE ADVANCED TECHNOLGIES INC Topic: MDA06023The objective of this project is to develop a novel expander that can increase the efficiency of cryocoolers for IR sensors at very low temperatures and in remote cooling and across gimbal applications. Miniature Thermoacoustic Expanders (MTAE) that employ high energy acoustic waves generated with no moving parts at the cold expander to produce efficient cooling over a wide range of temperatures a ...

Efficient Adaptive Beamforming for Missile Defense Radars
SBC: Applied Radar, Inc. Topic: MDA06033The detection and classification of reentry vehicles in the presence of jammers and clutter is a very important missile defense radar problem. High resolution, wideband adaptive beamforming (ADBF) is an important solution component in which both the transmit and receive beamforming weight vectors are dynamically updated to optimize performance in a time varying jammer and clutter environment. An i ...

Development of Digital Receiver/Exciters for Missile Defense Radars
SBC: Applied Radar, Inc. Topic: MDA06032This proposal will address the development of digital receivers and exciters capable of supporting > 1 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth (IBW). The technology will be used in large scalable BMD radar arrays employing a digital waveform generator and digital receiver at the analog input/output of each subarray panel. The receivers/exciters include the necessary up/downconversion and local oscillator c ...

Wideband Digital Beamforming for SPEAR
SBC: Applied Radar, Inc. Topic: MDA05034In the proposed Phase II effort, Applied Radar, Inc. will develop a wideband scaleable digital beamforming (DBF) processor capable of supporting > 1 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth (IBW). The new patented hardware architecture paradigm developed in Phase I is scaleable in the number of input channels, the number of output beams, and bandwidth. Hence, it is directly applicable to large BMD radars su ...

Coherent Distributed Aperture Enabled Active Electronically Steered Array (CDA-AESA)
SBC: Applied Radar, Inc. Topic: MDA07T011Our missile defense capability crucially depends on radar performance to detect, track and discriminate hostile targets. New radar designs being developed offer enhanced capability. However, a significant impediment to the deployment of these new radars is the high cost of active electronically scanned arrays (AESAs) and in particular the antennas upon which they are based. Together with our inter ...

Miniaturization of Thermoacoustic Expander for 50 mW Recuperative Coolers Run Below 40 K
SBC: CRYOWAVE ADVANCED TECHNOLGIES INC Topic: MDA06023The objective of this program is to demonstrate and miniaturize a new type of cryogenic expander, thermoacoustic expander (TAE), for space cryocoolers which provide the cooling power less than 50 mW and operate in the low temperature range between 40K and 10K for cooling SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR surveillance and interceptor systems. TAEs employ high energy acoustic waves generated with absolutely no m ...

Wideband Digital Beamforming Processor for Multi-Beam Phased Array
SBC: Applied Radar, Inc. Topic: MDA05034The objective of the proposed effort is to develop a digital beamforming (DBF) processor capable of generating multiple simultaneous receive beams with a wide (>500 MHz) instantaneous bandwidth (IBW). This would offer a significant improvement over a similar DBF processor with 15 MHz IBW that Applied Radar, Inc. previously developed for AFRL. The wide bandwidth is necessary for a number of high-re ...

Ultra Tight Coupling for High Anti-Jam GPS/INS
SBC: KVH INDUSTRIES, INC. Topic: N/AIn response to STTR Topic MDA03T-006, KVH Industries proposes to combine the advantages of short-term precision of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and the long-term stability of the Global Positioning System (GPS). The resulting integrated GPS/IMUsystem would offer significant performance (e.g., reduced accuracy degradation) and cost benefits. By tightly coupling the GPS pseudorange and inertia ...
