BioSqueeze, Inc. (BSI) proposes using microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) to meet DARPA’s SBIR program objective of “pushing the utility of biological cement derived from living organisms to produce hardened surfaces in semi-aquatic environments.” Our MICP technology will reduce the effects of beach erosion and greatly improve the ability of vehicles to transition from ...

The U.S. Army has a future need for multiple secondary high explosive compositions that can also be used interchangeably as rocket propellants. In this proposal we will discuss a method of preparing such compositions via advanced spray drying technology and involving the use of a highly insensitive spray dried nitramine or CL-20 composition which have been plasticized with an energetic polymer t ...

Resodyn has developed the novel Resonant Acoustic Continuous Crystallizer (RACC) concept which is specifically configured for the recrystallization of energetic nitramines. This technology employs the Resonant Acoustic Mixing technology, which results in a uniform shear field throughout the mixing vessel. Radial mixing is accomplished to such a significant degree that true plug flow is achieved. C ...

System of Systems Analysis Tool (SoSAT), developed by Sandia National Laboratories, is a government-owned software package (GOTS)  with System-of-Systems modeling and simulation capabilities.  Tuning its model parameters depend on less adaptable and manual methods and are subject to human error (operator error) with a limited availability of skilled/trained analysts/engineers familiar with SoSAT ...

The overall goal of this SBIR program is to develop waveguide-based, robust, high-rate, entangled photon pair sources suitable for use in space. These waveguides, fabricated at AdvR utilize periodic poling for efficient quasi-phase matched (QPM) spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) of high energy pump photons into two lower energy signal and idler photons. AdvR’s approach is enabled by a ...

The U.S. Army is interested in the development of innovative coating technologies to allow current U.S. Army airdrop related hardware and equipment to survive fresh and salt water operations with increased reliability and without damage and significant maintenance impact. Resodyn Corporation proposes for development a durable, moisture-impermeable, thermoplastic coating material to address the U.S ...

The U.S. Army is interested in the development of innovative materials, films, coatings and technologies or manufacturing techniques which allow current U.S. Army airdrop related hardware and equipment to survive fresh and salt water operations with increased reliability and without damage and significant maintenance impact. Resodyn Corporation proposes for development a durable, moisture-impermea ...

SBIR Topic SB163-004 describes DARPAs need to develop a real-time system for active feedback control and process characterization of multi-material additive manufacturing. To fill this need, Bridger Photonics, Inc. (Bridger) will prove out an ...

Resodyn Corporation proposes to develop a novel cold chain system with a Lifetime Warranty (20+ years) for the vacuum container.The container is composed of a passive energy efficient system for transporting blood and pharmaceuticals in hostile environments for up to three days.Capacity is four unit blood transfusion bags.Energy efficiency is possible by the novel shape and super insulating qualit ...

This Phase II SBIR effort will fabricate quantum frequency conversion (QFC) devices with cutting-edge performance to satisfy DARPA quantum information science applications. Quasi-phase matching (QPM) in potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) and lithium niobate (LN) waveguides designed for very low loss will be used to create frequency convertors at arbitrary source and target wavelengths with near-uni ...
