The Blow-down Large Angle-of-attack Signatures Thrust Termination Toolkit (BLAST3)
SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES, INC Topic: MDA10022In this SBIR, we develop a toolkit for computing time-dependent signatures for solid rocket motor thrust termination. The toolkit is composed of several modules describing the combustion chamber, near field, and far field flows, and outputs time-dependent spectral imagery. The fidelity of each module is user selectable between slower, higher fidelity simulations, and faster engineering approxima ...

Advanced Chemistry and Radiation Modules for Wake and Reentry Flows
SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES, INC Topic: MDA10023The outcome of the proposed SBIR program will be the development of an innovative scientific testbed code suite for reentry vehicle signatures. The testbed will model all key physical hypersonic flow effects to a high degree of fidelity and will be validated against field data. It is intended that the scientific testbed code could be used as a benchmark to test lower-fidelity models, or could be u ...

A Novel Method for Fast Rendering of Missile Plume Imagery
SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES, INC Topic: MDA05044Since infrared radiation from missile exhaust plumes is a key observable for many satellite sensors and interceptor seekers, considerable effort has been expended in developing and validating high-fidelity plume signature codes. However, their utility for systems studies of missile fly-outs is limited by extremely long run times for each calculation. Spectral Sciences developed a data-driven algo ...

Development of a Terahertz Typing Toolkit for Interceptor Kill Assessment
SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES, INC Topic: MDA09034A successful intercept of a missile by a kinetic energy kill vehicle initiates a complex sequence of events and associated observable signatures that occur over a very wide range of temporal, spatial, and spectral scales. The signatures contain important information on the lethality of the intercept and on the contents of the warhead (nuclear, biological, or chemical). The program objective is to ...

Advanced Spectral Signature Models for Rocket Plumes
SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES, INC Topic: MDA09032The design of space-based optical sensors for detection, identification, and tracking of threat missile launches relies heavily on plume signature simulation models. The development of very capable plume signature models traces back ~50 years. However, because of the complexity of the underlying physics and ever-increasing requirements for improved accuracy and speed, higher spatial resolution, a ...

The OCEANS global UV-VIS-IR Ocean Background Model
SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES, INC Topic: MDA09035Atmospheric effects, including the significant impact of ocean radiance, play a major role in remote sensing applications and the design of defense and surveillance systems. Tracking dim targets against a cluttered ocean background which is highly spatially and temporally varying is a particularly stressing scenario. Spectral Sciences, Inc. (SSI) proposes to develop and demonstrate a fast, robus ...

Simulation of Stressing Optical Clutter for Scene Generation
SBC: ATMOSPHERIC & ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, INC. Topic: MDA04154This effort will characterize the spatial structure and real world features of stressing atmospheric phenomena and develop techniques to efficiently represent these phenomena in optical/infrared background models. Our approach to this problem involves locating and identifying stressing backgrounds contained in measurements and extracting key clutter characteristics in a form that allows t ...

Photonic T/R Module
SBC: AGILTRON, INC. Topic: MDA04182Leveraging on Agiltron's recent breakthrough in manufacturing low cost fiber optic digital delay lines and the drastic improvement in cost and performance of commercial optical transceivers, we propose to develop a practical fiber optic variable time delay based T/R integration module for microwave coherent distributed aperture and space-time coded phased array radars. The proposed approach overco ...

Low Cost, Wide Band Infrared Window Technologies
SBC: Aspen Systems, Inc. Topic: MDA04114Aspen Systems Inc., proposes to investigate the feasibility of developing a protective coating material for ZnS that will have comparable mechanical properties of ALON, Spinel and Sapphire but will retain the extended regime transmission properties of multi-spectral ZnS. However, ZnS being a soft material with relatively poor mechanical strength and erosion resistance, it is essential to develop a ...

Simple Colloid Thruster for Generating Precise Impulse Thrust
SBC: BUSEK CO., INC. Topic: MDA04019For the Phase I effort, Busek developed a simple, integrated colloid thruster prototype capable of producing thrust of 100 µN at reasonable operating conditions. A unique geometry was chosen from several electrospraying sources tested. This thrust was conservatively estimated from measured beam current, accelerating voltage and could be significantly higher. As this was achieved from an area o ...
