Alphacore will develop a MWIR ROIC, FPA and a full camera system to perceive, identify, and track hypersonic vehicle threats. The developed optical system will be a unique cost-effective, distributed, early-warning sensing solution. Alphacore will demonstrate critical elements of this advanced optical system design for the detection, identification, and tracking of hypersonic cruise missiles to pr ...

A blue laser, with 473nm wavelength favored,  meeting the Navy’s requirement for size, power/energy, efficiency, and robustness is long sought. However, the system that could be successfully deployed on the aircraft (especially unmanned) is yet to be realized. The main reason is that it takes a lot of design time, verification, and field refinement to build a complex state-of-the-art  system w ...

Recent interest in high sensitivity magnetic sensing has spurred the development of several technologies, but none are ideal for Magnetoencephalography (MEG) imaging systems.  The development of engineered diamonds with defects such as NV centers has been

This proposed TACFI effort will be both a continuation and enhancement of the current Phase II MERAS work - one that would expand the impact and value potential for the Total Force by many multiples. Extensive interaction with End-Users during the previou

The United States Space Force has identified Space Domain Awareness (SDA) as a critical mission domain to ensure domestic space superiority. Threats posed by passive debris and active counter-space assets are rapidly evolving. Katalyst proposes a TACFI en

As is well noted, GEODSS telescopes are unable to perform their primary space surveillance mission during daytime and weather outages. Passive RF provides a needed augmentation to the GEODSS mission with its ability to maintain custody and support routine

Alphacore is proposing a high-efficiency solid state power amplifier (SSPA) capable of operation across a variety of possible radar transmitter and EW applications of interest to the AF for achieving battlespace dominance. The proposed wideband Ku-band SSPA for radar microwave sensing applications perfectly meets requirements wideband and high efficiency operation with competitive SWaP-C advantage ...

NP Photonics proposes to develop a compact and robust high-brightness mid-IR laser illuminator based on wavelength beam combining and our unique mid-IR fiber techniques. The proposed laser illuminator has the advantages of high power scalability, high bea
