CUBE Technology has created an extremely compact and efficient enclosed combustor dubbed a Micro-Furnace that have demonstrated an unprecedented operating range. They operate on fuels from hydrogen to alcohol to JP-8. This Micro-Furnace combustor is fast-starting and burns less than 200gm of JP-8… More

This program is expected to result in a high-temperature heat pipe passive cooling system for space-borne phased array antennas. The innovative approach chosen for this project will result in a reliable g-force independent cooling system that is robust against launch and vibration forces as well as… More

This program is expected to result in a compact, high energy density, silent propulsion system for small unmanned autonomous systems (SUAS). The innovative approach chosen for this project will substantially increase both range and time aloft of miniature unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), while using… More

This program is expected to result in a miniature drying and microclimate cooling system for the interior of MOPP Level 4 protective suits. The innovative approach chosen for this project will result in a gravity-independent drying/microclimate cooling system that operates with JP-5, or other heavy… More

This program is expected to result in a combined, miniature Power/Microclimate cooling system for the soldier. The compact thermoelectric generator system will create significant power and have higher energy density than lithium technology batteries over extended missions. The highly integrated,… More

This program is to develop a compact, portable refrigeration and heating system for the Marines that interfaces with existing gear, including a MOPP suit worn under full battle dress. This system will effectively cool the user in the most demanding high-temperature environments while alternately… More
