Innovative Hybrid Atomic-Optical Ultra-Precise Inertial Sensing for Space Applications
SBC: INTELLIGENT FIBER OPTIC SYSTEMS CORP Topic: AF20AT002Space is the ultimate GPS-denied environment and requires novel approaches to precision navigation. Open-loop fiber-optic gyroscopes (FOG) enable large bandwidth and dynamic range with low noise. Emerging atom interferometric gyros (AIG) provide extremely high long-term stability and accuracy, but have limited bandwidth due to minimum required atom interaction durations. Combining these two techno ...

Advanced Photonic Integrated Circuits for Quantum Key Distribution Transmitters
SBC: FREEDOM PHOTONICS LLC Topic: AF20AT004Quantum technology advances are currently at the forefront of U.S. military interest. In particular, recent developments in quantum communications have successfully demonstrated quantum key distribution (QKD) in space by the Chinese Micius satellite for quantum studies and quantum communication. Freedom Photonics is exploring photonic integrated circuit (PIC) solutions for time-bin QKD satellite a ...

Quantum Entanglement on Drones
SBC: QUBITEKK, INC. Topic: AF20AT004Devices that make use of quantum phenomena are being developed at an ever-increasing pace as the field of quantum information transitions from ‘understanding’ to ‘control’ in order to harness aspects of quantum mechanics to realize capabilities in computing, sensing, and communication that are simply not possible in the classical world. The growing prevalence of quantum devices will, in tu ...

Transfer Learning and Deep Transfer Learning for Military Applications
SBC: Arete Associates Topic: AF19CT004Aided Target Recognition (AiTR) algorithms augment human decision-making, but require a large database of labeled targets for training. Applied to new domains, these algorithms fail to transfer knowledge and require substantial retraining. Areté and University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) propose the development of the Domain Extracted Feature Transfer (DEFT) Network to transfer knowledge from a ...

Transportable Rugged Crystalline Silicon Reference (TRuCR)
SBC: AOSENSE, INC. Topic: AF20AT001Crystalline silicon cavities serve as ultralow-phase-noise optical local oscillators for optical atomic frequency standards and can support the realization of optical timescales. While a JILA/PTB team has built and tested several silicon cavities over the past decade, similar cavities are not readily available to other potential users. We propose to combine AOSense’s expertise in laser-frequ ...

Dynamic Bias APD Receiver Array
SBC: NU-TREK, INC. Topic: AF19CT006The program has two trusts: (1) Using dynamic biasing to address arbitrary pulse trains, such as would be present in LIDAR and other forms of EO/IR imaging and periodic pulse trains, such as in telecommunications; and (2) Developing an APD the meets program requirements such as a cutoff wavelength >1.6 ïm, low dark current, low excess noise and a >200 K operating temperature. In the proposed ...

Low-Power Microwave Oscillator (LMO)
SBC: AOSENSE, INC. Topic: AF20AT001High-performance microwave atomic clocks have broad applications, both for military and civilian uses. A low-phase-noise microwave frequency oscillator/synthesizer is necessary to ensure the high performance of these microwave clocks. A power-hungry conventional low-phase-noise microwave frequency oscillator/synthesizer circuit usually limits the reduction of the power consumption in these ato ...

Fiber-laser-based Mobile Atomic Sensor (FIMAS)
SBC: AOSENSE, INC. Topic: AF20AT002Environmental structures of interest like mountains, tunnels, and deposits of minerals, oil or gas produce distortions in the local gravitational field. Sensing gravity anomalies and comparing them to a gravity map can provide positioning immune to the drift of purely inertial navigation systems. Existing gradiometers with sufficient sensitivity are large and heavy, requiring manned aircraft and h ...

Fully Adaptive Radar Resource Allocation
SBC: INFORMATION SYSTEMS LABORATORIES INC Topic: AF19BT003In this proposal, ISL and MTRI will develop an advanced cognitive fully adaptive radar (CoFAR) and electronic warfare (EW) resource optimizer and scheduler. While the basic architecture for CoFAR has been developed previously, there is a need for a real-time scheduler that can handle the many complex operations and demands on sensor tasking that will arise when operating in a highly contested envi ...
