Based on our success in developing the world first commercial high energy femtosecond fiber laser system and our leading proprietary technology development in ultrashort pulsed fiber laser material processing, PolarOnyx proposes, for the first time, a compact high energy fiber laser based smart wound healing tool to meet with the requirement of this DHP solicitation. It includes a high energy fs f ...

This Navy STTR Phase I proposal presents an parallel AM tool to eliminate conventional scanning strategy. A 2D MEMS array is used to shape both in time domain and spatial domain to obtain the desired pattern for layer by layer process. Modeling is used to study in-process melting evolution versus powder and beam properties. It provides quantitative characterization of the AM system to guide the de ...

We propose development of a software capability which, based on use of accurate and efficient exact-physics computational electromagnetics (CEM) solvers together with CAD-import (Computer Aided Design) and direct CAD-to-EM capabilities, will enable optimization of the properties of on-platform pRFID tag/reader antenna systems. For accuracy and modeling flexibility the proposed codes are based on M ...

Oceanit proposes to develop and demonstrate novel, tailored, designer separator materials with optimized properties to maximize lithium-ion cell/battery performance, life, safety and reliability.

Oceanit proposes to develop a flexible broad-band optical device capable of measuring optical properties.

Missile defense faces the challenges of rapidly maturing and evolving complex threats, possessing capabilities which require the use of all available resources to successfully detect, track and identify the lethal objects. Future performance will rely on multiple sensors such as ground and sea based radars and electro-optical and infrared sensors for target recognition. It is crucial to develop a ...

ExoAnalytic Solutions, teamed with Texas A&M University and Georgia Institute of Technology, will develop Highly-mobile Autonomous Rapidly Relocatable Integrated Electro-optical Resources (HARRIER) with the goal being to design and demonstrate tracking of resident space objects (RSOs) in near-geosynchronous orbit (GEO) using a rapidly-constructed low-cost ground based electro-optic (EO) sensor wit ...

ExoAnalytic Solutions is developing DEEPR (Deep Learning with Whole-Scene Contextual Reasoning for Object Characterization), an advanced multi-sensor multi-object classifier for integrated object characterization. The overall objective of DEEPR is to develop a suite of advanced, novel techniques that combine innovative advances in deep, hierarchical machine learning together with recurrent Deep L ...

ExoAnalytic Solutions, teamed with Texas A&M University, will develop Highly-mobile Autonomous Rapidly Relocatable Integrated Electro-optical Resources (HARRIER) with the goal being to design and demonstrate tracking of resident space objects (RSOs) in n...

The objective of this Phase II proposal is to continue the development of a Photoconductive Semiconductor Switch (PCSS) with an integrated optical trigger that can switch at least 30 kV, 1 kA, 20 ns pulses with jitter 108 shots. Ness Engineering, Inc. (NEI) and Texas Tech University (TTU) propose to utilize wide bandgap materials to demonstrate lock-on switching and allow much less optical trigger ...
