Army mobile missile launchers are vulnerable to bullet and fragment impacts as current missile canisters are made of lightweight metals or composites that offer little ballistic protection. American Technical Coatings, Inc. (DBA ATC Materials, Inc.) of Westlake, OH is a leader in insensitive munitions armor technologies and has previously commercialized and fielded systems for IM protection. ATC� ...

This work advances the state-of-the-art in high-speed diagnostics for the characterization of fireballs, hot gases, and aerosols released by explosives detonation.The proposed advancement is the development of an integrated optical sensor suite, selected from technologies which are already in development in the portfolio of the proposers.During Phase I, the proposers demonstrated the combined LIBS ...

The objective of the proposed efforts is the development of a novel high energy reserve type lithium ion battery (LIB) based safe power source for gun-fired projectiles that can survive launch setback accelerations of up to 70,000 Gs and capable of providing power for weeks at very low temperatures as required for military operations. The proposed concepts also allow the development of highly safe ...

Cornerstone Research Group, Inc. proposes continued development of new elastomeric materials (MG Elastomers) for use in solid rocket motor case insulation that are low cost, easy to produce, can integrate with existing manufacturing, and provide a significant performance advancement over incumbent materials. This new material is based on CRG’s family of high temperature organic resins, MG Resins ...

Having successfully validated our superhydrophobic, self-cleaning, wear and rust resistant laser based surface process in the Phase 1 project period, we at AlchLight propose to scale this technology to industry relevant levels by once again working with members of the University of Rochester's High Intensity Laser Lab. To achieve this goal, we will develop the world’s first superhydrophobic micr ...

To satisfy the demand for increased data volumes from small satellite systems, TUI proposes to extend its existing modular SWIFT software-defined radio (SDR) platform to create a multi-band S-, X-, and Ka-band transceiver capable of closing SATCOM links in excess of 300 Mbps to smaller, tactically-placed ground stations. Key enabling technologies include the integration TUI’s existing three degr ...

Unmanned ground vehicles are becoming widely seen as a means of increasing safety and production for a variety of purposes. These vehicles are used in a diverse range of applications (e.g. military, mining, agriculture, automotive). Many control parameters scale nicely with the size and type of vehicle. However, performance requirements also vary based on accuracy and smoothness of control per cus ...

Low cost polyurethane laminate tent materials are designed to solve the cold crack issue with PVC tent fabrics. The use of novel construction of urethane/textile laminates offers a breakthrough in environmental durability over current offerings. This new high durability laminate configuration provides for a new class of economical lightweight shelters with extended operating capability. Using a co ...

Under SBIR Phases for “Battlefield Medical Situational Awareness Goggles (Human Computer Interface)”, TAM developed a robust speech enabled TRL-6 system, allowing medics to capture casualty information for TCCC and DD1380 cards. Under this Sequential Phase II, TAM will extend the work completed on earlier phases in the following areas: 1. Advance capabilities of TAM’s application, to reach T ...

Maxentric’s solution provides multi-level security and information flow control with cell level encryption for existing relational databases. At the tactical edge, access to advanced cloud based services such Apache Accumulo may not be possible. The novel database solution allows these types of services to be deployed in any point of the network, but also to be integrated in already existing app ...
