Beartooth MK II is a small, inexpensive, disposable system for warfighter communication.  The system enables the warfighter to sense and respond to the environment, threats, and targets.  Beartooth has a low probability of detection, low probability of interception and applies artificial intelligence to increase warfighter lethality and survivability while lowering cognitive load.  The sys ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This project develops a nutrition program, MenuChoice©, for community-based group homes for persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). Adults with IDD experience poorer nutritional health and more nutrition-related secondary conditions than adults without disabilities. These conditions are preventable and modifiable through a safe, healthful diet, but multiple challenges precl ...

The accelerating prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains is an increasing public health problem. While the emergence of resistant strains is unavoidable, it is exacerbated by the widespread use, inappropriate prescription and misuse of antibiotics. Development of new antibiotics is slow and costly. One alternative to antibiotics is the development of antimicrobials that target the bac ...

We aim to build a prototype device for optical arbitrary waveform generation and use it for demonstrations of performance. The device is based on coherent accumulation and interference of spectrally shaped waveforms using low bandwidth control electronics (less than 1 GHz) to achieve wideband optical arbitrary waveform generation with time apertures of up to 50 us, complete control of optical phas ...

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 ...
