Development lightmap rendering technology to advance infrared simulation capabilities for training applications
SBC: CORNERSTONE SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS INC Topic: AF17AT012Recent technology advances have enabled the simulation community to achieve greater realism in virtual training environments, including physics-based simulated sensor views. As new methods for sensor view generation are developed, the lack of readily available supporting data to populate these specialized techniques limits their implementation. Currently the capability is not available to efficien ...

High speed, multispectral, linear polarization display
SBC: POLARIS SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: AF17AT021To understand how insects and crustaceans sense and process light fields, researchers need a projection system that provides realistic wide field of view (FOV), high-speed imagery from UV to red (320-650nm) that includes polarization control. Insects and crustaceans have vastly different visual acuity and wavelength response from humans. In addition, some can sense polarization. Therefore, commerc ...

Plasmonic Infrared Scene Projector
SBC: TRUVENTIC LLC Topic: AF17AT022Truventic proposes to design, build and characterize a 5x5 array of fully functional MEMS-based plasmonic infrared scene projector pixels which operate at multiple wavelengths to support hardware-in-the-loop testing of missile seekers, forward looking IR cameras (FLIR), counter measure simulation and tracking systems. The approach avoids known limitations of resistive arrays and provides high dyna ...

Plasmonic Metamaterial Approach to Infrared Scene Projection
SBC: PLASMONICS INC Topic: AF17AT022As both the response speed and sensitivity of thermal imagers have improved significantly over recent years, new IRSP systems are needed to provide greater dynamic range and faster response speeds. Addressing these issues, as well as producing a cost effective and modular IRSP system will be critical for providing quality scene projection for the next generation of infrared imagers. To address the ...

Coupled Multi-Physics Tool for Analysis of Structural Profile Disruption Effects of Aerovehicles
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: AF17AT025High speed air vehicles operate at material strength performance limits and are at significant risk when subjected to additional localized heating that can result in softening, pitting and burn-through the material and potentially change the vehicle structural profile. These effects degrade aerodynamic performance. The team of CFDRC and UDRI proposed to develop, validate and deliver a comprehensiv ...

Additive Manufacturing Sensor Fusion Technologies for Process Monitoring and Control.
SBC: X-Wave Innovations, Inc. Topic: DLA18A001Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a modern and increasingly popular manufacturing process for metallic components, but suffers from well known problems of inconsistent quality of the finished product. Process monitoring and feedback control are therefore crucial research areas with a goal of solving this problem. To address this concern, X-wave Innovations, Inc. (XII) and the University of Dayton Res ...

Rydberg-atom RF Sensors for Direction Finding and Geolocation (RADARS)
SBC: COLDQUANTA, INC. Topic: AF17AT028ColdQuanta, in partnership with Dr. Zoya Popovic at the University of Colorado at Boulder, proposes to develop a three-dimensional quantum-enhanced radio-frequency (RF) signal sensor and direction finder. Our approach combines Rydberg-atom-based RF electrometry and discrete lens arrays (DLAs) of planar antennas. The DLA will serve as a Fourier optic for an incident wave, and a Rydberg-atom RF elec ...

Meso-scale Framework for Simulating the Response of Structural Reactive Materials to Shock Loading
SBC: STREAMLINE NUMERICS, INC. Topic: AF16AT23Structural reactive materials (SRMs) or multifunctional energetic materials offer the ability to combine the high energy release rates of traditional high explosives with structural strength.When successfully formulated they can lead to light-weight, high-performance and hitherto inaccessible designs of munitions. The key feature of structural energetic materials (SEMs), perhaps even more so than ...

Standoff Coherent Optical Detection of Acoustic Signals (SCODAS)
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: AF12BT02ABSTRACT: Detection of clandestine tunnels and underground facilities is a continuing interest of the US DoD and Customs and Border Protection. Research continues in an attempt to find functional and reliable sensing methods, including seismic methods. Dynamic activity in tunnels emits mechanical energy that propagates away in seismic waves. Resulting ground vibrations can be measured at offset d ...

A High Performance and Cost Effective Ultra High Performance Concrete
SBC: i2C Solutions, LLC Topic: AF12BT04ABSTRACT: Adversarial installations, such as those housing the means for nuclear weapons production, are increasingly being constructed in heavily fortified locations and often using ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) as the construction material. As such, the U.S. Air Force has considerable interest in further developments of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) to maintain an advantage o ...
