Electromagnetic Interface (EMI) Shielding is critical for maintenance of critical infrastructure and to prevent from external signals from disrupting electronics devices.  State of the art EMI shielding includes heavy metal-based materials, which add mass

Semiconducting carbon nanotubes (s-CNTs) have been used to build thin, flexible sensors relevant to the DoD mission. These include both physical sensors, such as stress/strain and temperature sensors, and chemical sensors, such as biomarker or toxic compo

Carbon fiber is now used extensively in military vehicles, structures and equipment, and its use will only expand due to its combination of light weight and high strength. However, the challenge of widespread adoption both in the military and in the comme

Bulk Container Group (BCG) owns and develops Nereus Containers as a Service platform. Nereus is a TRL 7 COTS software product for supply chain management and optimization. Nereus provides a one stop shop application for the Buying, Moving, Tracking, Manag

Chemical sensors based on functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been demonstrated to detect battlefield-relevant biomarkers and other analytes. This includes quantification of neurological and cardiological stress markers as well as detection of har

Homogeneous software applications employed throughout NORTHCOM and Platform One pose a huge opportunity for adversaries to scale exploits within the defense ecosystem. Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) applications specifically pose a huge attack vector due to

In this Phase II STTR, Whisper Aero is proposing novel ultra-quiet high-performance propulsors that can be applied to Group I, II, and III UAS and consumer drones. In Phase I, Whisper Aero successfully designed, built, and tested an initial design using a comprehensive suite of low-Reynolds number aerodynamic design tools, aero-structural static & modal analyses, rapid manufacturing techniques, a ...

In this Phase II STTR, Whisper Aero is proposing an adaptable multidisciplinary design framework for low noise propulsors. It will incorporate the newest industry-standard and open source propulsive design tools across aerodynamics, acoustics, powertrain, and structures disciplines for synthesizing ideal propulsors for Group I, II, and III UAS. In Phase I, Whisper Aero successfully incorporated me ...

In this effort GTL proposes to develop an additive production system for telescope mirrors leveraging previous research efforts for DARPA, MDA, and NASA. The proposed production method allows for a wider range of substrate materials while allowing for pre

  Whisper Aero proposes investigating a novel electric propulsor designed to achieve ultra low noise, high specific power, and high efficiency both at static and high speed cruise conditions. These capabilities are critical to enable eVTOL aircraft to achieve scaled market use in urban areas, and the wide breadth of mission applications across commercial, public use and military aircraft. The eQ ...
