Silicon Technologies will design and simulate in Verilog-AMS and Cadence Spectre an ADC, two DACs, a serial interface and other circuits to be built on a single chip in a ITAR complaint manufacturing process.The ARMY is interested in this development for use in a SWAP-C ASIC for next generation fuse proximity sensors and other programs.STI proposes to use an existing pipelined ADC that has been bu ...

In order to address the improvised threat to U.S. Forces created by enemy drones, IMSAR proposes to use its Commercial, Off-The-Shelf (COTS) NSP-3 Ku-band radar as the foundation for a system architecture capable of detecting, tracking, and neutralizing enemy drones. With low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) requirements, the NSP-3 can provide high capabilities to even small Unmanned Aircraft System ...

As autonomous vehicles become more prevalent in day-to-day military and industry operations, the technology surrounding functionally-safe autonomous subsystems must become increasingly reliable. A vehicles kinetic energy must be safely dissipated during a stop.Steering and braking must be done intelligently to maintain vehicle control and mitigate vehicle wear and tear.There are many factors to co ...

The overall goal of this effort is to quantify the system-level response of structure/shelters to fires.Proposed is a physics-based, multi-dimensional simulation software to quantify the system-level response during fires and to reduce the amount of full-system experimental testing required to ensure personnel safety.An existing REI-developed user interface designed to offer a full suite of tools ...

Various NATO entities are interested in developing a next generation of the NATO Reference Mobility Model (or NG-NRMM). MotionPort LLC recommends that the feasibility study of this Phase I effort consider a NG-NRMM capability that is built upon a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS), open architecture, multibody dynamics software. This approach will reduce the risk of NG-NRMM development and enable the ...

The proposed strategy in this STTR proposal for bioconversion of food waste to butanol uses the well-described Clostridium acetobutylicum organism to convert the carbohydrate to the fuel molecule butanol. Based on our teams many years of work with butanol formation and genetic studies of the organism and the advancement of recently developed genetic methods, the team will develop a set of genetic ...

Recently, fiber/yarn-based energy-storage systems have attracted enormous attention due to their remarkable promises in smart textiles and high-tech sportswear etc., mainly as more pliable energy-storage units being truly wearable. Storagenergy Technologies Inc. proposes to develop graphite fibers (GFs), which are fabricated by a scalable and cost effective wet spinning approach, and later chemica ...

Robotic autonomous systems (RAS) are currently being used for many different applications using a wide variety of vehicle platforms. The environments in which RAS are being used are becoming increasingly complex. Vehicle path planning and control is challenging in environments with many obstacles and uneven terrain. This proposed research will develop and compare multiple techniques to improve veh ...

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 ...

This small business innovation research (SBIR) proposal addresses the solvent-related safety issue and limited energy and power densities of the current lithium ion battery (LIB) technology. Storagenergy Technologies Inc. proposes to develop advanced electrode manufacturing process for a multi-layer electrode LIB cell having ordered graded pore structure. The proposed process eliminates the use ...
