Wide bandgap III/V nitrides, including GaN, InGaN and AlGaN, are emerging as important materials for solid-state lasers, high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) and millimeter wave integrated circuits. These components serve critical functions inradar, sensors and communication systems used in ballistic missile defense. Nitride devices are grown epitaxially on sapphire or silicon carbide subs ...

Applications of IR imaging polarimetry include detection of military targets in clutter, de-mining missions, ice detection on aircraft, roads and bridges, crop monitoring and remote sensing. Key technologies are now sufficiently mature to consider arobust, integrated optical imaging polarimeter, which operates at video rates.SY Technology, Inc proposes during the Phase I effort to design an IR (8 ...

Research and development is proposed of a miniature low capacity cooler capable of reliable achieving and sustaining cryogenic temperatures for very long periods without maintenance and providing low capacity refrigeration to cryogenic sensors and coldelectronic systems. The cooler has no moving parts of any kind and very long life (10 - 20 years) is anticipated. The unit operates without noise ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project demonstrates the Wideband Advanced Filter Bank Universal Software Receiver (AFB Comm-Universal), which offers lower power, smaller size, and lower cost by processing wideband data in software insteadof dedicated hardware. The architecture leverages the wideband, high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion capabilities of the V-Corp propriet ...

As flip-chip bonding becomes the predominant standard in the electronics industry, the increased proximity between dice surfaces and packaging materials will require a significant reduction in the latter's alpha particle activity in order to avoid soft errors. Emission rates at or below 0.001 a/cm2/hr are desirable, which is well below the 0.0050 a/cm2/hr capability of today's best detectors. ...

In response to the technological advancements made by BMDO and the need for efficient interconnecting devices and wiring in the next generation defense missiles, ACM proposes an enabling technology through the use of its Fibrous Monolith ceramic compositetechnology. ACM proposes to develop Fibrous Monolith composite electronic materials using low dielectric ceramics to conform its technique as a ...

As ever more of industry and commerce moves onto electronic networks, there is a growing appreciation for the usefulness of expressive general models of enterprise activities, such as design and manufacturing. Ontologies are commitments to formal declarative multi-purpose representations with clear semantics that can serve as a solid foundation for such models. While there has been much work ...
