Abstract: The system and method for a multi-element, ultra-low SWaP chemical concentrator incorporating Applicant's own open cell foamed adsorbent material which allows high volume sampling (e.g., liters per minute) to achieve low detection limits (ppt) using high-volume, low-pressure air sources (i.e. fans or blowers) rather than pumps. The device delivers the sample directly to an analyzer without the need for a typical intermediate cryogenic trapping step. In one example, a rotary style concentrator comprises four individual foam elements. Each element can be individually heated to desorb analytes.

Abstract: A continuously adjustable optical beam splitter includes a circular to linear polarization converter, a polarization rotator, and a polarization beam splitter that apportions light between two outputs. The polarization converter can include a quarter wave plate. The polarization rotator can include a mechanically rotated half wave plate or an electronically controlled liquid crystal variable retarder. The light source can be astronomical, reflected LIDAR light, or a laser beam from a remote laser communication node. Also disclosed is a free space laser communication terminal that implements the disclosed optical beam splitter, wherein the optical beam splitter diverts substantially all received laser light to an alignment channel during initial alignment, and then during message communication diverts more than 90%, and in embodiments up to 98%, of the received light to a communication channel, while alignment is maintained by continuing to divert the remaining laser light to the alignment channel.

Abstract: A monolithic microwave integrate circuit (MMIC) presents as a power amplifier including a 9:1 overlay transformer and artificial low impedance transmission lines. The 9:1 overlay transformer effects the output impedance thereof. The artificial low impedance transmission lines behave as inductors without occupying an amount of space equivalent to that of an inductor having similar properties as the artificial low impedance transmission line.

Abstract: The system and method for a low profile high gain dual polarization UHF/VHF antenna. In some cases a spiral antenna over a small cavity, with arms attached on either side is provided. The antenna structure is a short distance above a ground plane (e.g., less than 1/10 wavelength at the high frequency of operation). The arms are terminated to ground and the values of the terminations can vary depending on installation and the value chosen for the spiral termination. In some cases, the spiral antenna is not limited to a two arm spiral only as any type of spiral antenna may be used.

Abstract: An alignment system for sensor or other electrical device filters rate data from gyroscopes and integrates the same to determine an alignment error state that is populated into a direction cosine matrix that pre-rotates measurement from a first electrical device into an estimated coordinate frame to determine a static alignment between first and second electrical devices or sensors. The system may be part of a countermeasure system on an aircraft. A first electrical device may be an inertial navigation system (INS), and a second electrical device may be an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The attitude of the IMU is used to translate the detected threats from the countermeasure system into a common reference frame of the INS.

Abstract: A method of transmitting and receiving a plurality of Link 16 messages on a single subnet in a single timeslot includes a transmitting terminal packaging the Link 16 messages into an envelope enhanced throughput message (envelope LET message) and transmitting the envelope LET message to a receiving terminal, followed by the receiving terminal unpacking the Link 16 messages from the envelope LET message, restoring them to their original form, and presenting them to a host. Modification of the host is not required. The Link 16 messages can be relayed messages, and the transmitting terminal can be a relay terminal. The Link 16 messages can be concatenated within the envelope LET message, or another lossless packaging algorithm such as lossless compression can be applied. The terminals can be JTRS terminals, the Link 16 messages can be 115 kbps messages, and the envelope LET message can be a 2 Mbps LET message.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for tomographic imaging with sub-beam resolution and spectral enhancement. A system implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes a target structure comprising one or more selected materials nanopatterned on a first surface of the target structure in a selected arrangement. The system also includes a primary particle beam source to provide a particle beam incident on an area of the first surface of the target structure, the area encompassing one or more of the nanopatterned materials, such that the materials generate characteristic X-rays in response to the primary beam. The system further includes a spectral energy detector (SED) to perform individual photon counting and spectral analysis of the characteristic X-rays and estimate attenuation properties of the imaged sample. The sample is positioned both adjacent to a second surface of the target structure, opposite the first surface, and between the target structure and the SED.

Abstract: The system and method of dynamic weapon to target assignment (DWTA) using a control based methodology to dynamically assign each projectile to a target in a multiple target engagement situation. In some cases, closest proximity is used in a real-time, to accomplish the DWTA functional requirement and performance criteria. In some cases, g pulling acceleration and projectile fin deflection motion are also used to assess the best matched pair for each projectile and each target with an end goal of intercepting the target or guiding the projectile to an acceptable error basket for target destruction via detonation. For the closest distance criterion for projectile/target pairing, a cutoff time is used to ensure the pairing is conducted within an acceptable duration while still being able to intercept the target or meet a required miss distance basket (e.g.,
