Abstract: A method includes transmitting first optical energy towards a space being scanned. The method also includes detecting one or more instances of a first material in the space using first return optical energy, where the first return optical energy is based on the transmitted first optical energy. The method further includes, for each of the one or more instances of the first material, transmitting second optical energy towards a portion of the space in which the instance of the first material was detected. The method also includes detecting one or more instances of a second material in the space using second return optical energy, where the second return optical energy is based on the transmitted second optical energy. In addition, the method includes identifying a presence of at least one type of device in the space based on instances of the first and second materials detected in the space.

Abstract: A continuous wire that includes a wound inductance from a first yarn material formed of filaments or nanotubes, the first yarn being doped with or including a first material that causes it to be electrically conductive and a second yarn formed of material filaments or nanotubes that is electrically insulating and may include magnetic particles wound with the first yarn in bifilar fashion or both yarns wrapped in a bifilar fashion around an insulating core yarn which may include magnetic particles to increase the inductance of the wire. The doping and electrical conductance of the yarns can be varied along the length of the wire to integrate sections of lumped electrical conductance and inductance.

Abstract: A thermal detection system for detecting a thermal profile of an optical window may be used in an airborne body that contains a sensor system. The system may include a thermal imager arranged within the airborne body for imaging a portion of the optical window and the portion may coincide with an optical path of the sensor system. The system may further include a processor in communication with the thermal imager for receiving images of the portion and determining a thermal gradient of the portion. The processor may be configured to apply corrections to active optical elements of the sensor system to accommodate for adverse thermal effects on the optical sensor that interferes with the sensor system performance.

Abstract: A system for detecting radio frequency (RF) signals includes a radome including one or more phase change material (PCM) layers disposed on an inner surface thereof and a sensor at least partially disposed within the radome. The system also includes a heat source arranged such that it can direct heat toward the inner surface of the radome and a controller that causes the heat source to direct heat towards the inner surface of the radome such that a frequency selective surface (FSS) is formed thereon.

Abstract: A window installation includes a phase-change filler material sealing an outer edge of the window, and coupling the window to a frame around the window. The filler material in a solid state rigidly holds the window in place. When the filler material is in a liquid state it allows the window to float in its coupling to the frame. There may be supports within the rigid material that contact the window, but allow the window to expand or contract by sliding along the supports. The installation may be useful in situations where the window is subjected to thermal shocks, or other sorts of heating. The installation may be used for a sensor window, and may be part of a hypersonic vehicle.

Abstract: An optical window for a hypersonic vehicle includes a window substrate and an optical coating on the window substrate, with the coating including multiple alternating layers of different materials. The coating may have many layers, for example having five or more alternating bi-layers and may be configured to still perform its optical function with some of the layers removed, such as by ablation of some of the layers through exposure to hypersonic flow. The different materials of the different layers may have different properties, for example with one of the materials being more resistant to ablation and/or chemical reaction than another of the layers. Coatings for anti-reflection additionally include a region of graded optical index between the sequence of bi-layers and the substrate. The hypersonic vehicle may include an optical sensor which operates by receiving light through the optical window.

Abstract: A dynamic aperture is disclosed. A dynamic aperture includes a base layer, a conductive structure disposed on the base layer, and a layer of a material having a dynamically controllable electrical conductivity that is disposed over the base layer and the conductive structure. A transmission profile of the dynamic aperture is determined by a combination of the conductive structure and the layer of the material. The transmission profile is dynamically alterable by controlling the electrical conductivity of the layer of the material.
