All DoD branches benefit from interoperable, robust, and accurate targeting systems for forward observers and terminal attack controllers. These systems allow personnel to report relative distance in terms of three measures: observer current position (for example from reading a map or global navigation satellite systems, whose signal is subject to jamming), distance to target (by laser measurement ...

Current field level composite repair techniques for aircraft use thermally accelerated vacuum bagging and bonding to restore the original design strength of the composite laminate. The matrix resins used have limited shelf-life, and the multi-step process is labor-intensive. To overcome these challenges TRI/Austin will leverage recently developed laminating resins to develop new composite repair s ...

The U.S. Army has a requirement for a shaped charge warhead that can maintain its penetration capability while spinning. The current solution, a linear fluted liner, is optimal over a narrow band of spin rates compared to the span of rates experienced by a typical spin-stabilized munition over its effective range. To increase performance on target, a solution that is effective over a larger range ...

Corvid Technologies is pleased to offer this Phase I proposal in response to Army SBIR topic A17-010, “Ballistic Missile Defense Weather Management.” In the proposed effort, we will leverage Corvid’s established capabilities in computational aerodynamics and structural mechanics to develop a framework for assessing the influence of weather on Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) interceptor aerod ...

Army Soldiers currently consume pre-packaged Meals Ready to Eat (MRE), which are inadequate in providing sufficient nutrition for the level of physical activity they routinely perform. These MREs have limited choices; shorter shelf life and they’re not tailored to individual’s needs. BeeHex proposes to use a 3D food printer system capable of dispensing variety of macro- and micro-nutrients (in ...

Military combatants face the threat of unconventional radiological, biological and chemical agents. Current and future operational theaters present a constantly-expanding set of potential threats that pose a hazard to operations, to include various types of chemical warfare agents and chemistries, biological materials, and energetic/explosive compounds. The U.S. Army has taken the lead towards sti ...

The US Army desires the development of a synthetic procedure which will afford phase-pure boron suboxide (B6O). Lynntech proposed a template synthesis scheme which combines pre-formed chemical moieties to generate the desired extended lattice structure. Lynntechs approach avoids potential pitfalls with regards to the single-atom substitutional disorder within the produced lattice.Lynntech and its ...

In Phase I we will model, analyze, and optimize our existing non-ionizng, low power imaging technology for armor.We will demonstrate a breadboard microwave/millimeter wave NDI system that behaves like a video camerabut which creates 3D images of the interior of multi-layer dielectric materials.We will use flat and curved vehicle and body armor samples up to 2 thickness and show ability to inspect ...

Tissue engineering technology is of particular import to the Army for the matter of producing tissue replacements for the repair and regeneration of various organ systems (liver, heart, muscle, lung, etc.) for wounded patients. Unfortunately, the production of masses of tissue with thicknesses greater than ~1 mm presents a challenge due to diffusion limits of nutrients into the tissue and waste ou ...

Knowledge-Based Systems Incorporated (KBSI) proposes Mega-City Analysis and Visualization Environment (M-CAVE) in response to the Army SBIR Civil Affairs Information and Military Sustainment in the Megacity Environment (topic number A17-036). We propose to conduct a feasibility study, including technical demonstrations, of a mega-city common operating picture (COP) focused on the unique features o ...
