To meet the Defense Logistics Agency’s need for new and qualified sources of technology that will improve products for electrified systems in military and commercial aircraft, Alluvionic proposes a non-chemical battery, electric storage technology named FlyBall. This research will analyze how a disruptive mechanical kinetic energy storage feature set, such as FlyBall’s, would enable multiple e ...

SNVY has requested its supplier base to produce three copies of the referenced 8-inch stainless steel swing check valve body using LPBF AM technology.  Successful component fabrication of the item, named the 748 Body, in 316L Stainless Steel and satisfactory testing of material specimens (and component testing) will support qualification of the machine and procedure. Witness specimens will be fab ...

According to a recent survey, 178 million trips are taken across U.S.’s 46,000 structurally deficient bridges every day. Due to concerns over their actual load-carrying capacity, some of these bridges have posted weight and speed restrictions. The lack of enforcement of these load postings is an issue nationwide and presents risks for human lives and costly failures. To address this issue, this ...

Curing concrete properly is essential for strength gain and durability. While the importance of curing is widely known, all too often curing is not properly executed in practice. This proposal outlines a sensing system that will have three functions: · to record the weather conditions during the concrete placement. · to document how the implemented curing impacts a known concrete system. · to p ...

Food deserts are among the major contributing factors to food insecurity. There are more than 6,500 food desert tracts in the U.S., home to 23.5 million Americans. Rural food deserts are more than 10 miles from the nearest grocery store, and this distance poses extraordinary challenges for those who do not have a vehicle or cannot drive. In urban food deserts, people's grocery store inaccessibilit ...

Satellite Imagery in Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), in conjunction with imagery intelligence (IMINT), geospatial information, and other means of gaining intelligence, has greatly improved the potential of the warfighter and decision makers enabling them to gain a more comprehensive perspective, an in-depth understanding, and a cross-functional awareness of the operational environment. The Artif ...

Assured CA/AV Navigation is a network of receiver-detectors with the ability to communicate reliable and accurate vehicle positioning integrity information for safe operations to individual users. The network approach provides density and sensitivity to rapidly detect and communicate relevant information to impacted vehicles. The solution will develop a highly capable and cost-effective network of ...

On the Phase I SBIR program for cast replacements on a TF34 FCOC, Sintavia and partners discovered that the TF34 Fuel Cooled Oil Cooler (NSN: 2935010370494/160064-1-1) has seen drastic increases in the purchase price and lead time for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) in recent history. Under the Phase II effort, it is expected the proposal team will begin the supply chain effort to manufacture f ...

There is a critical need for manufacturing capabilities of high-performance permanent magnets in the U.S. for defense applications. Several rare earth material mining ventures are under development in the U.S. and domestic extraction of raw materials for permanent magnets will become available in the coming years. However, currently there is very little production capability for NdFeB permanent ma ...
