Abstract: A power generation system includes a manifold having multiple plenums, capable of receiving multiple solid rocket motors. Initiators are coupled to the manifold, and are operatively coupled to respective of the plenums, to selectively fire different groups of the rocket motors coupled to respective of the plenums. The rocket motors act in parallel, to provide thrust in a single direction. The initiators may activate ignition charges that are in the plenums. The plenums may be annular plenums, which may be located in an annular manifold. The plenums may be lined with an insulator material. A cover may be used to cover the plenums, and also to receive the rocket motors. The rocket motors may be solid-fuel rocket motors, with propellant grains and nozzles. The individual rocket motors may have separate ignition booster charges coupled to the plenum, which are ignited by the ignition charge.

Abstract: A beam steering architecture for an optical sensor is based upon a pair of Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) Micro-Mirror Arrays (MMAs) and a fold mirror. The MEMS MMAs scan both primary and secondary FOR providing considerable flexibility to scan a scene to provide not only active imaging (to supplement passive imaging) but also simultaneously allowing for other optical functions such as establishing a communications link, providing an optical transmit beam for another detection platform or determining a range to target. A special class of MEMS MMAs that provides a “piston” capability in which the individual mirrors may translate enables a suite of optical functions to “shape” the optical transmit beam.

Abstract: An modular optical switching system and switching mechanism for a multispectral laser transmitter are provided. The system includes a modular housing; a moveable carrier connected to and disposed within the modular housing; a first optical member supported by the moveable carrier; and a second optical member supported by the moveable carrier. The moveable carrier is operable to selectively move the first optical member into alignment with a laser beam of the multispectral laser transmitter and to selectively move the second optical member into alignment with the laser beam of the multispectral laser transmitter.

Abstract: An IQ mixer is used in a Pound-stabilized microwave source to detect amplitude modulation of the signal reflected from the reference resonator. By properly configuring the IQ mixer so that the LO and RF inputs are maintained in quadrature at the Q mixer, hence in-phase at the I mixer, lower levels of amplitude modulation may be detected at lower modulation frequencies compatible with optimal choices of resonator coupling and maximal phase to amplitude conversion.
