The objective of this DoT SBIR program is to establish a technical foundation enabling the rapid commercial integration of low friction HybridSil™ coatings on concrete barriers for drastic reductions in vehicle rollover potential. Phase I coatings would have immediate utility within a broad spectrum of concrete barriers designs with readily spray or paint depositions capabilities in traffic env ...

The goal of this SBIR project is to develop and demonstrate an electrokinetically driven nanofluidic sensor device of the physical size and shape that will allow integration with a THz spectroscopic instrument. The substrate and channel surfaces within t

A development program is proposed for a design automation software package that enables the generation of complex surfaces, with user defined or automated definition of point charge and hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties, using DNA origami as a presentation substrate. Building upon existing software for DNA origami design, this project will result in software able to optimize DNA staples and othe ...

The goal of this project is demonstration of a nanofluidic sensor platform effective for label-free"THz-frequency spectroscopic fingerprinting"of biological molecules for detection, identification, and classification applications. In the Phase I project, the work involved a conceptual design of the proposed nanofluidic sensor package and development of technology for enclosing and wetting of the c ...

Current and future military forces are moving to be lighter, faster, and stealthier in order to maintain an operational advantage. For example, underwater combat activities require light and small equipment for the submarines or the divers to efficiently complete the assigned missions. Among those systems required by underwater activities, breathing air supply equipment is especially critical fo ...

The objective of this Phase II SBIR program is to transition NanoSonics HybridSil Diver armor nanocomposite technology to next generation special operations forces (SOF) dry and wet suits for drastically enhanced multi-threat protection from laceration, abrasion, and puncture threats. Building from a strong technical foundation empirically validating the exceptional promise and scalability of d ...

3 Phoenix, Inc. proposes to build, integrate, test and deliver a modular non-rotational high definition compact periscope system for use on submerged or surface vehicles. Our design is compliant with the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) as it is based on commercial interface standards and commercially available electronics. The system will provide instantaneous 360-degree field of view in an ...

"SSSC is pleased to propose the development and delivery of a Hostile Fire Indication Sensor (HFIS) based on the Phase I design concept. The resulting system will limit the number of circuit card assemblies to two: one for the short wave infrared (SWIR)

Prototype two SORAD units based on design developed in Phase I to meet SOF requirements and conduct the following research with the integrated hardware and software. - Conduct a Military Utility Assessment (MUA) with SOF personnel to assess human factors for man portable, standoff sensors and refine conceptual user interface from phase I design. - Test SORADS in austere SOF environments to ens ...

Luna will develop a hermetic closure system for use on combat uniforms and shelters that require protection from chemical and biological (CB) warfare agents. Despite great advances in high barrier fabrics, selectively permeable membranes, and unique chemical absorbent technologies, closures for clothing and shelters still possess the greatest risk for chemical or biological breach. Instead of mo ...
