Increases in space traffic have caused an ever-growing need to recognize, track, and inspect both known and unknown satellites in-situ. Imagery from ground observation platforms provide a convenient and versatile data source for such characterization but is often limited in both quantity and quality. Rapid and automated 3D reconstruction of satellite models from limited 2D imagery would significan ...

Many custom and hybrid integrated circuits (ICs) and custom electronic components cannot be modeled in simulation software because of their complexity and/or lack of technical data. The current hardware modeler (D300) in conjunction with the Teradyne LASAR digital simulator has the ability to perform this modeling. The hardware modeling system has the ability to model multiple devices (both dynami ...

FractureLab LLC is honored to continue development of rapid low cost HCF material characterization methodology and application to gas turbine hot section rotary components. The limited, but encouraging success, of a hybrid experimental-analytical approach in phase I has opened up new possibilities in accelerated test data generation, and logical analytics proposed in this phase II, to estimate fat ...

The objective is to develop and test a functional prototype of a 3D Dome radar with full hemispherical coverage (0-90 degrees vertical and 360 degree horizontal). This prototype shall have an update rate of 1 Hz, a tracking range of 2 km that weighs less than 12 kg and an estimated cost of close to $150,000. SpotterRF shall test the 3D radar to determine its tracking range against a DJI Phantom 4 ...

The objective of this effort is the design and manufacture of prototype Test Program Sets (TPSs) for Air Force and NAVAIR Intermittent Fault Detection and Isolation System (IFDIS) test stations. Intermittent failures are a growing problem in aging DoD weapon system electronic equipment. The Intermittent Fault Detection and Isolation System (IFDIS) is an electronic test system developed under the S ...

As autonomous vehicles become more prevalent in day-to-day military and industry operations, the technology surrounding functionally-safe autonomous subsystems must become increasingly reliable. A vehicle’s kinetic energy must be safely dissipated during a stop. Steering and braking must be done intelligently to maintain vehicle control and mitigate vehicle wear and tear. There are many factors ...

According to Jane’s, “High Frequency (HF) communication systems are witnessing a resurgence as forward deployed and small unit teams seek to overcome emerging challenges associated with operating in Command and Control Denied or Degraded Environments (C2D2Es)”. According to senior service personnel from across the NATO special operations community, HF communications are being considered by m ...

Attollo’s concept is to utilize our Scene Generator Technology, to develop a 3D interactive and collaborative sand table/mapping tool for use on a portable mission planning/briefing device; this device can be easily deployable. The tool provides a volumetric virtual map that is shareable and follows Army planning protocol and doctrine. Additionally, an overlaid task bar can display specifically ...

We propose developing a small pitch probe card with a pitch down to 5 µm that will have minimal thermally induced deformations over an operational temperature range of 77 to 300 Kelvin. The probe card design will contain eight probe points initially, but the number of points can be increased or decreased as needed by the customer. The pitch can also be specified anywhere from 5 µm and up. The pr ...

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this SBIR effort will be to design, build and demonstrate an experimental coolant pump capable of continuous operation in an engine compartment while pumping coolant at 105°C Programs such as the Advanced Powertrain Demonstrator (APD), the Combat Vehicle Prototype (CVP) and the Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV), as well as other Technology Insertion programs such a ...
