  • Patent number: 10914559
    Abstract: The embodiments disclosed include a system comprising a missile segment having a hollow body with an external surface conforming to an external surface of a portion of a missile body. The missile segment comprises a plurality of slot thrust motor (STM) cavities arranged in the hollow body. Each STM cavity being elongated in a first direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the missile body. Each STM cavity includes a chamfered opening at one end of the STM cavity coincident with the external surface of the hollow body. The chamfered opening configured to expel a stream of a gas in a gas-flow direction which is at least one of perpendicular to and offset from the longitudinal axis. The embodiments also include a missile and method for producing a steering force.

  • Patent number: 10263382
    Abstract: A device comprising a master clock configured to produce a pulse sequence having a wideband light signal of approximately 800 nanometers or red visible wavelength of a predetermined amplitude. The device comprises X laser amplifiers along a common optical path each amplifier being triggered by a burst of X pulses with high-peak power and high-average power. The X laser amplifiers receive the pulse sequence of the master clock and sequentially amplifying the pulse sequence wherein a last laser amplifier of the X laser amplifiers produces an amplified pulse sequence. A compressor is configured to compress the amplified pulse sequence to produce a laser signal having a sequence of directed energy (DE) pulses each DE pulse having a pulse width in a femtosecond range to induce when striking a solid surface of a target object transient electric fields in a microwave frequency range. A system and method are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10256592
    Abstract: A device comprising a low-power oscillator having an oscillator output, the oscillator when triggered produces X number of oscillator pulses in series at a high repetition rate from the oscillator output, where X is an integer. The device comprises a plurality of X series coupled amplifiers having a common optical path. The plurality of X amplifiers amplify a power parameter of the X number of oscillator pulses. A first amplifier of the plurality of X amplifiers is coupled to the oscillator output. The plurality of amplifiers are triggered in sequence in accordance with the high repetition rate of the oscillator so that an output from a last amplifier of the plurality of X amplifiers is a burst of X amplified pumping oscillator (APO) pulses with high-peak power and high-average power over the burst of APO pulses. A system and a method are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9391471
    Abstract: A method comprising supplying current to charging elements, a charging element producing a configurable magnetic field polarity, magnetic field polarities produced by the charging elements according to a charging polarity code. The method determines a relative position between a receiving element and a charging element, receiving elements fixedly electrically connected according to the charging polarity code, responsive to determining, re-configuring a magnetic field polarity of one or more of the charging elements due to movement of the receiving elements relative to the charging elements, and inducing a charging current by the charging elements in the receiving elements to increase power transfer from the charging elements to the receiving elements.

  • Patent number: 8983034
    Abstract: A technique for use in security screening and detection contexts employs an X-ray explosive imager that acquires images from backscattered RF modulated X-ray signals on which a time series analysis is performed to detect image change across the time series of images that represent pixels changing at the rate of the difference frequency of the RF frequency and the a priori NQR signature frequencies.
