eSpin Technologies will design the scale up machine to produce novel high performance separator for lithium primary batteries. The process will be developed to produce novel separator and a variants which has the potential of a significantly higher volumetric efficiency for electrolyte storage capacity and kinetics to distribute electrolyte flow within nanoporous channel efficiently. This new sepa ...

SYNERGEO is a reconfigurable, geostationary platform. The core platform is made up of constituent core modules which provide the power, data relay, attitude control and stationkeeping requirements. Around the outside of the platform are generic docking p...

In a previous effort, GTL successfully demonstrated that the BHL cryotank technology provides a 75% mass reduction compared to the state of the art cryotanks. This capability would double the payload a liquid propellant launch vehicle just from the mass...

The Constructable Platform effort will define a modular, reconfigurable, and expandable architecture for a platform in GEO to provide persistent support infrastructure for multiple, diverse payloads. The platform’s reusability will enable the infrastru...

The OrbWeaver effort addresses DoD needs for affordable, resilient SATCOM capabilities by developing a system for recycling an unmodified ESPA ring on-orbit to form a large aperture phased array capable of providing high-bandwidth SATCOM services to K-ba...

While guided munitions have been used with great success, the technology for these weapons is still rapidly advancing and more nations are gaining access to them. In order to fulfill its mission to assure that the US is the beneficiary of technical surp...

Exploitation of new chip-scale optical frequency comb sources demands improvements in MWIR/LWIR detector performance, including: High speed (5 GHz); high sensitivity (NEP < 1pW/Hz1/2); broad spectral response (Octave); and thermo-electric cooler (TEC) operating temperature. No existing detector meets these demanding performance parameters. Phase I successfully designed and demonstrated an octave s ...

Robotics hardware has made significant advances in flexibility, power, and precision, as evidenced by their increasing use in novel ways in military and commercial applications. Yet, software and system integration for robotics has lagged behind these h...

This Phase II SBIR project will investigate the design and build of a nanoscale sealant deposition system applicable to a broad range of substrate materials of interest to USAF, DoD, and other commercial customers.The sealant is a high temperature sta...

QuesTek Innovations will continue to pursue its approach of ausforming Ferrium® M54® to adapt it for personal armor applications. Technical feasibility was demonstrated during the Phase I program through novel material processing at an intermediate scale, characterization, and testing. Phase II will involve full scale production of material as well as the development of process-structure-propert ...
