ORBIS proposes to Address SBIR DLA171-002 by developing efficient and effective processes to reverse engineer RPPOB Candidate Items. ORBIS has a wealth of experience in supporting DoD systems and components and is well suited to addressing the backlog of unsupported equipment .

Given the benefits of exercise on general health, orally active compounds that can mimic or potentiate the effects of exercise have been of keen interest as therapeutic and dietary ingredients. Our proposed approach for enhancement of USSOCOM Multi-Purpose Canine (MPC) endurance and sensory performance using an exercise mimetic is based on the observation that age-related decline of nicotinamide ...

SeaLandAire Technologies, Inc. (SLA) proposes to meet this Group 2 need with an electric drive concept that will be capable of a 20-30 lbs. modular payload, with comparable range and endurance to current grp 2 ISR UAS, while still maintaining sufficient ISR capabilities. This UAS concept is able to covertly and safely deliver payload to within 1 meter accuracy, then extract a different payload an ...

Ensuring access for carrier battle groups and other assets to strategic crossroads is a critical Navy priority. The proliferation and increasing capabilities of quiet diesel/electric submarines, combined with the challenging acoustic characteristics of littoral waters create a significant challenge, particularly for current tactical ASW systems, which are primarily platform centric and designed fo ...

Parachute Descent Procedure (PDP) training helps Naval aircrew learn and refresh their skills properly maneuvering a parachute to a safe landing, both over-land and over-water. Currently, aviators train PDPs using the “Parachute Descent Virtual Reality Trainer,” which is deficient in several key ways including (1) the inability to view the harness and gear while wearing the included head-mount ...

We propose to develop a prototype of a novel spintronic spectrum analyzer using an array of nano-scale magnetic spin-torque detectors. The operation of the proposed spectrum analyzer is based on the recently discovered effects of spin-transfer torque and spin-diode effects in nano-scale magnetic multilayered elements, the fabrication of which became possible due to the recent advances in nano-fabr ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to develop technology that will substantially reduce the cost and complexity of ribonucleic acid (RNA)-based medical testing. Isolation of RNA from biological samples is the first and often the most difficult step in RNA diagnostic testing. All living things from bacteria to humans are threatened b ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to significantly reduce primary care physician shortages and improve quality of care for low income patients in the United States by developing a tool that analyzes clinical care team performance data at federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) to automatically deploy individually tailore ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project, if successful, will be the implementation of an effective point-of-care (POC) test that will not only impact the lives of patients, but can reduce the costs to hospitals, health insurances companies, and government agencies. According to the National Institutes of Health, cancer cost the U.S. ...
