CAMX Power proposes a Sequential Phase II program to follow on the Phase II DLA SBIR program “Logistically Robust, Long Life, High Power Rechargeable Battery”.  In the initial Phase II program, we designed, built, and tested a 6T Li-ion battery prototype based on CAMX Power’s proprietary cathode and zero-volt (0V)-capable high power cell technology.  The prototype and test modules were dem ...

During this project the Reverse Engineering (RE) practices will be applied to develop Technical Data Packages (TDPs) for needed items with limited or no sources of supply, with the ultimate goal of submitting a Source Approval Request (SAR). Using a proven Reverse Engineering and SAR development process, the packages will be developed and submitted to the relevant Engineering Authority. DLA is at ...

The Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will develop and demonstrate a Battery Management System (BMS) Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing platform for the 6T Li-ion battery program. The BMS HIL platform will be designed to test BMS units in a laboratory and manufacturing environment to ensure they meet current and future requirements. The project also includes the development of a ...

During Phase I, Imperia Batteries has invented and demonstrated a Directly Applied (DA) separator processing technology that can reduce the cost and improve the performance of soldier power batteries in the DLA supply chain.  Imperia is proposing a Phase II program to further develop this technology by incorporating it into the cell designs of both Eagle Picher Technologies and Navitas Systems.  ...

DLA Aviation has specified National Stock Number (NSN) list identifying items where Agency would like to develop competition through the submission of Source Approval Requests (SAR’s). Surmet is a developer, manufacturer and supplier of precision optics products.  Through Phases I and II this SBIR program, Surmet plans to become an Approved Source for an item in this list, enabling participatio ...

During this project the development of Supplier Approval Requests (SARs) for urgently needed components will occur. Using a proven SAR development process, the packages will be developed and submitted to the relevant Engineering Authority. DLA is attempting to develop qualified sources to improve product availability and provide competition for reduced lead time, cost, as well as address lifecycle ...

Defense Distribution Centers are facing challenges when trying to streamline their processes through modernization.  Many solutions today are cloud-based and that is extremely limiting to DoD application, especially in the production environment.  The proposed solution to two identified areas, weapon serial number tracking (WSNT), and asset tracking through the Stowe process, will utilize a silo ...

Carbon fiber composites are strong in tension and significantly weaker in compression.  This effect is exacerbated as the modulus of the carbon fiber increases.  Boron fiber hybridized with carbon fiber mitigates this effect and creates a composite with a balanced set of mechanical properties. Specialty Materials has demonstrated for standard and intermediate modulus fibers. Only two high-modul ...
