With this Phase I funding, the project team will develop and test a prototype of Fate and Fortune, a simulated learning environment aligned for grade 8 algebra. The prototype will include story-based adventure set in the era of the spice trade of the 1600s. In the multi-player game, the class of students must apply algebraic equations to advance and learn academic content. At the end of Phase I, i ...

Warfighters responsible for planning and conducting A2/AD entry operations require up-to-date, high-quality information within dynamic littoral zones. We plan to develop an easily deployable day-night measurement capability to accurately measure bathymetry, topography, currents and water surface temperature in near real-time from sensors and small computing capabilities housed within small multi-r ...

Goodman Technologies LLC (GTL) in partnership with Robocasting Enterprises LLC (a Small Business spin-off from Sandia National Laboratories technology transfer program) and the University of Hawaii at Manoa, (UHM, a Minority Institution) propose to demonstrate the Robocasting process for 3D printing alumina (Al2O3), boron carbide (B4C), and silicon carbide (SiC) advanced ceramic materials. Using ...

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 ...

In prior projects, including a 2015 ED/IES SBIR award, the team developed two immersive multiplayer virtual game environments. In Eco and Colony, middle school students collaboratively apply scientific practices within the virtual worlds to address challenges, such as the availability of resources and energy and maintaining clean water. With this Phase I funding, the team is developing a prototype ...

XL Scientific is pleased to respond to the Army’s SBIR solicitation A16-123 entitled “Miniaturization of high average power, high peak power, wide bandwidth antennas”. To meet the Army's requirement, XL Scientific proposes the use of its "Ferengi" antenna concept. This antenna incorporates several design features which XL Scientific will optimize as part of the research effort to offer the f ...

In prior research and development, the project team developed LiveSchool, an online platform to track student behavior. With this Phase I funding, the team will develop and test a prototype of an administrator dashboard. The dashboard will generate reports on individual student behavior patterns across classes and on the prevalence of behavioral issues across different teachers. The dashboard will ...

In this SBIR solicitation, the Army has identified a need to develop a highly accurate and efficient finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) electromagnetic wave propagation software that is portable onto high performance computers (HPCs). The software shall be able to simulate electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation at High Frequency (HF) and Very High Frequency (VHF) bands. Applications include model ...

Small satellites have never lacked the capability to collect large quantities of operationally relevant data. The real limitation in fielding large constellations has been the inability to downlink the large quantities of data. Neither the ground station assets nor the high throughput communications subsystems have existed to close many point-to-point tight-beam links to low-Earth orbit. To satisf ...

SciGenesis will apply its FR-technology to nylon-only and nylon/cotton (50/50) blended yarns to demonstrate the feasibility of this technological platform at the individual yarn stage (i.e. pre-woven). The unique FR chemistry that SciGenesis has developed encompasses char promoting agents, heat reflective particles, Lewis-acid catalysts and a laundering durable binding system. Implementing this ...
