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 ...

Robust instrumentation for advanced engine development in both the near and long term is required to maintain the air superiority of the United States Air Force.  This robust instrumentation must withstand the high-temperature and vibration environments present not only in existing high-speed propulsion systems but also future propulsion systems that will operate in hypersonic envelopes. Instrume ...

The battlefield of the future and today, is based on data; and the ability to act upon this data. Data provides the foundation of everything from intelligence, situational awareness, and force readiness. Acquiring data in extreme environments requires analog and mixed signal electronics that don’t need thermal management. Integrated circuits (ICs) made with silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor te ...

The company's existing platform, Zuni, is an online platform that hosts more than 200,000 open education resources (OERs) aligned to state standards in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and for social emotional learning. In this project, the researchers will increase the functionality of the platform for teachers and students. The Phase I prototype will include a feature to ...

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 ...

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 ...

This Phase I SBIR effort will examine the feasibility of fabricating 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 tar ...

As the threat landscape continues to evolve, modern forces and especially foot mounted soldiers are increasingly tasked with conducting operations in either complex urban or remote cavernous environments where GPS signals are severely corrupted and/or unusable. The ability to track and navigate in unfamiliar subsurface environments such as canyons, subterranean caves, mines or other manmade subsu ...

Bonded composite materials offer considerable opportunity to reduce manufacturing cost, improve structural performance, and improve fuel efficiency of aircraft. However, bonded composite aircraft structures continue to be a challenge to manufacture due to the certification requirement to determine the strength of the bonds in the structures - before they are placed into service. Current testing te ...
