Vibration imaging for the characterization of extended, non-cooperative targets
SBC: TAU TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: AF19AT006Tau Technologies is teaming with Dr. David Voelz and his research group at New Mexico State University (NMSU) to propose “Vibration Imaging for the characterization of extended non-cooperative targets�, which employs dual-pulses in two different variations for vibration imaging in order to characterize non-cooperative targets at extended standoffs. One method is based on double-pulse ...

Synthetic Scene Generation for Wide Application including High Performance Computing Environments
SBC: TAU TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: AF19AT007Efficient design, build, and test of an HEL system leverages modeling and simulation (M&S) to reduce cost and increase robustness. Designers use models to explore parameter variations and to estimate performance in conditions which cannot be tested due to physical or financial constraints. This provides significant savings in cost and time. Because live testing is so expensive, it is best used as ...

Efficient Propagators and Gravity Models in non-Cartesian Coordinate Systems
SBC: NUMERICA CORP Topic: AF09BT02Accurate and timely surveillance of objects in the near-Earth space environment is becoming increasingly critical to US national security. One of the main difficulties in this domain is efficiently and accurately modeling trajectories of the vast number of objects in orbit around the Earth. The orbital trajectory of a single object is typically modeled as a second-order system of equations which ...

Realistic State and Measurement Error Uncertainty Computation and Propagation for Space Surveillance and Reconnaissance
SBC: NUMERICA CORP Topic: AF09BT11Space surveillance is the component of space situational awareness focused on the detection of resident space objects (RSOs) and the use of multisource data to track and identify space objects. While the propagation of the states of RSOs has been investigated extensively over the last fifty years, the correct propagation of their covariance or the more general (non-Gaussian) probability distribut ...

Space-Time Signal Processing for Detecting and Classifying Distributed Attacks in Networks
SBC: NUMERICA CORP Topic: AF09BT09A mathematical framework for detection and classification of weak, distributed patterns on computer networks is proposed. The framework will provide rigorous methods for understanding performance bounds and optimality of intrusion detection methods, while also providing concrete and implementable algorithms. The algorithms will find immediate application in cyber-security efforts, as well as mor ...

Tools for Modeling & Simulation of Molecular and Nanomaterials for Optically Responsive Devices
SBC: UES INC Topic: AF09BT30Military applications for CBRNE/GWTO and C4ISR require R&D for materials to protect personnel and equipment. However, challenges remain in experimental synthesis and characterization of new materials, such as providing insight into observed properties for further advancement. Thus, it is essential to develop a predictive modeling and simulation approach that will not only provide a fundamental u ...

Suppression of Wind Turbine Clutter from Radar Data
SBC: MATRIX RESEARCH INC Topic: AF12BT05ABSTRACT: It is well known that wind turbine clutter (WTC) presents a significant challenge to detecting targets in civilian and military applications. The large radar cross section (RCS) of wind turbines, combined with their significant range of Doppler spread, make traditional clutter mitigation techniques effectively useless. The objective of this Phase I effort is to develop a physically con ...

Exploitable Physics for Recognition and Classification
SBC: MATRIX RESEARCH INC Topic: AF12BT06ABSTRACT: The objective of this effort is to develop innovative methods for deriving a sparse set of physical target features that can be used for exploitation of air to ground signature data collected from sensor systems including electro-optical, infrared, and laser radar. Current classification methods require near exact replication of the original imaging parameters, or extensive modeling in ...

Thermoelectric material-coated carbon nanotubes as high conductivity thermal interface materials
SBC: ADA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: AF09BT22The ever-decreasing size of the electronic microchips and the ever-increasing density of electronic components required to support future Air Force platforms are creating the problem of substantial localized heat generation that can impair component operation. State of the art thermal interface materials (TIMs), that are used to dissipate heat from the source to the spreader in a microchip, are se ...
