"The increasing demand for large aperture imaging and High Energy Laser (HEL) space-based systems has led to a technology push for light-weight, deployable primary mirrors. The use of a thin, space-rated, polymer membrane material as a primary mirror is apossible solution for this problem. SRS has developed processes to produce membranes with a very precise optical quality surface with very low ...

The increasing demand for large aperture imaging and high energy laser space-based systems has led to a technology push for light-weight, deployable primary mirrors. Space rated polymer materials with optical quality surface properties have beendeveloped. Coupling this material technology with emerging shape memory alloy (SMA) deposition processes offers a unique approach to manufacturing practic ...

This Phase II will develop a cost- and weight-effective means for achieving an improved low- and mid-frequency acoustic environment in payload fairings for rockets at lift-off. The solution to be developed will consist an active noise control system withan optimum selection of SmartFoam, distributed active vibration absorbers (DAVAs) and acoustic actuators.

Mobility is key to mission success in a contested space theater, providing operational resilience and flexibility for both commercial and national security applications.  On-orbit refueling is key for achieving increased mobility without sacrificing asset

The proposed Phase I research program will define and evaluate techniques and tactics intended to counter active expendable electronic countermeasures (ECM) threats to air-launched radar-guided weapon systems. Performance will be measured in terms of the missile seeker's ability to discriminate between the expendable and the true target. These performance evaluations, together with qualitative ass ...

(U) The advent of technology (e.g., GaAs MMIC amplifiers and DRFM devices) has enhanced the development of inexpensive expendable repeater/transponder jammers that can mimic an airborne radar's signal coherently, and modulate it to deceive, confuse or obfuscate the radar/receiver, effectively preventing it from achieving or maintaining track lock-on, thus delaying or precluding missile launch. The ...
