Oceanit proposes to research and develop chemical or non-chemical methods and processes to impart surface morphology modifications to aluminum-magnesium (Al-Mg) alloys to mitigate and increase the exfoliation corrosion resistance.

Modern electronic warfare (EW) employs agile, dynamic, convert waveforms. It has become challenging for legacy electronic intelligence (ELINT) receivers to intercept such waveforms. To cover a wide frequency band, many frequencies must be scanned rapidly. Therefore, the probability of intercepting by the super heterodyne receiver is limited by the intermediate frequency (IF) bandwidth and tuning s ...

Oceanit proposes to first is to use radiative transfer techniques pioneered for astrophysics, instead of Monte Carlo simulation. In particular, we used a variant of the Bohm-Vitense method, which expresses the solution as a weighted sum of basis functions, allowing us to convert the radiative transfer equation into a set of linear equations that we can solve with standard linear algebra methods. S ...

In this Phase I SBIR, Oceanit in partnership with the University of Michigan, will create a highly effective end-to-end technology solution that mitigates the threats that ransomware poses to computer memory systems. By providing a more effective recovery from attacks, our solution will enhance the operational readiness and resiliency of Army and DoD information systems.

In this Project OEwaves Inc. in collaboration with the UCLA trapped-ion quantum computing group proposes to develop extended-cavity ultra-stable diode laser systems that have the properties required for quantum computing and metrology. The system will be based on a semiconductor laser locked to a monolithic microcavity (a whispering gallery mode resonator, WGMR [1]) using a self-injection locking ...

Vector Atomic will develop precision, ultra-low noise laser control electronics with low cost, size, weight, and power (C-SWaP). The electronics will be designed to broadly support the various laser types of used for quantum technology, which span 369-1550 nm. The C-SWaP and system architecture will support scaling of quantum systems to higher laser counts. The design will also include essential f ...

During the proposed Phase 1 research and development effort, the project team will design an innovative turbopump system for a target vehicle upper stage using “Green" liquid propellants that meet Missile Defense Agency's requirements. The use of a turbopump will result in an upper stage that has a greater than 50% improvement in delta velocity in comparison to a previously designed, pressure fe ...

This proposal will outline a bi-directional software defined Free Space Optics (FSO) laser communications testbed with flexible optical elements and reprogrammable waveform and signal processing elements. Vulcan Wireless Inc. currently manufacturers a 1550nm, eye safe, software defined Laser Communications Testbed MD-LC-1 and will use this as a basis for the Phase 1 effort. We will also be teaming ...

The objective of this proposal is to develop instrumentation and algorithms for acquiring facial features for facial recognition in low- and no-light conditions.We will use cross-spectrum matching by exploiting infrared polarimetric imagery which tends to show features that match more closely visible imagery than conventional infrared.In addition to thermal infrared, we will also test subjects in ...

Phase I of this effort involves the creation of a comprehensive end-to-end model of a novel holographic polarimeter.The polarimeter that can be constructed based on our model will be able to determine the full polarization properties (Mueller matrix elements) of scattering, reflecting and absorbing media as a function of the materials depth.Unlike previous attempts, this system will be a real-time ...
