Bayesian Inference of Spacecraft Geometry and Pose
SBC: VISION SYSTEMS INC Topic: AF17AT007Space platforms are complex dynamical systems and there are many reasons to model them from ground telescope imagery as well as from space-based sensor platforms. One key motivation is to determine the operational state and configuration of the vehicle. Key questions such as did the solar panels fail to deploy, did the object begin to tumble unexpectedly may be addressed by a sufficiently detaile ...

Flexible Broad-band Optical Device
SBC: NANOHMICS INC Topic: AF17AT010Optical characterization of materials has remained an active area of research for many decades. With each advancement in light sources, detector technologies, microscopy, or compact spectroscopic analysis, a renewed effort is made to apply these technologies to material characterization, especially for biological tissues. There is a current need to characterize the details of the interaction of ...

Optical Diagnostics and Analysis for Multiphase Blast
SBC: PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC Topic: AF17AT020The damage mechanisms induced by multi-phase blast weapons are not well understood. This is due to the complexity of the phenomenologies associated with weapon effects and also the difficulties associated with measuring and quantifying such phenomena under testing conditions. The proposed Phase I effort will develop an optical imaging and image analysis approach to identify and quantify multi-pha ...

Field Drug Identification Kit
SBC: SensoDX II, LLC Topic: A16AT008Illicit drug trafficking has increasingly been used to fund terrorist groups since the end of the Cold War. As illicit drugs increasingly finance terrorism, soldiers in the U.S. Army are increasingly playing an active role in identifying these drugs in difficult and demanding environments. Unfortunately, these devices have many shortcomings, such as being too expensive, bulky and heavy, being non- ...

High-Altitude Atmospheric Characterization for Validation of Ground Testing Facilities
SBC: PHYSICS, MATERIALS, AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS RESEARCH L.L.C. Topic: AF16AT02Optimal design and successful operation of high-altitude (near-space range of 100-200kft) hypersonic flight vehicles hinges, among other factors, on accurate characterization of prevailing atmospheric freestream and disturbance conditions. This is due to the fact that drag, heat and structural loads experienced by the vehicle can vary significantly depending upon the nature of the flow over the ve ...
