Next generation resonant microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for aerospace precision navigation and timing (PNT)

Due: May 1, 2025

$100,000

Description

This topic is looking to advance the state of the art in fundamental design and operating techniques of MEMS resonator technologies to improve frequency stability for timing (MEMS based clocks) and reduce long duration position error for inertial sensing based position and navigation (MEMS base gyroscopes). Specific emphasis is on resilience in arduous environments (high temperatures, shock) while minimizing overall system size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP). Establishing computational modeling and simulation methods for predict...

Grantor Contact InformationHarris Joseph Hall, Phone: 937.713.8980Grantor Emailharris.hall.3@us.af.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
