High Gain, High Power PCSS with Integrated Monolithic Optical Trigger
SBC: Eureka Aerospace Topic: A14AT004This proposal addresses the problem of PCSS/laser trigger integration using a single monolithic laser diode array, thus simplifying the entire optical delivery network necessary for efficient operation of PCSSs. The proposal constitutes a logical continuation of Phase I effort where the main focus was on the detailed design of the PCSS/laser diode array (LDA) integrated architecture. In Phase II ...

Tunable High-Power Infrared Lasers for Standoff Detection Applications
SBC: EOS Photonics Topic: A14AT015To achieve the goals of this program improving spectral coverage and output power of monolithic QCL sources - we propose to develop in collaboration with MIT Lincoln Laboratory a broadly tunable high power source that is based on Eos proprietary QCL array technology. The current generation of Eos commercially available fully packaged QCLAs (The Matchbox) can be tuned over a wavelength range of u ...

Development of a Forensic Swab for High Efficiency Capture and Release of DNA
SBC: Luna Innovations Incorporated Topic: A15AT011Swabs are routinely used by crime scene investigators and forensic scientists for the collection of a wide range of biological evidence for analysis. Sterile cotton swabs are popular with forensic investigators due to their proficiency in adsorbing cellular material, however they are known for their low efficiency of sample (DNA) release. To better meet the needs of forensic investigators, Luna I ...

Conductive Transmissive Coating for Enhanced-Absorption Thin Film Solar Cells
SBC: AGILTRON, INC. Topic: A15AT016Thin-film, lightweight, large-area flexible inorganic solar cells have shown promise to meet the militarys remote power needs on the battlefield. However, thin film solar cells normally have inferior conversion efficiencies due to limited absorption of sunlight by the thin active layer. Various approaches have been investigated to improve conversion efficiencies of thin film solar cells. Among the ...

Miniature Mass Spectrometer for Peptide Sequencing and Mobile Coupling with Separation Techniques
SBC: Bayspec, Inc. Topic: A16AT012Using advanced ion optics that was developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), BaySpec will develop a prototype of portable mass spectrometer (less than 40 lb. and 300W) with continuous atmospheric pressure inlet that is fully capable of uninterrupted on-line sampling from an ambient environment. The continuous nature of the inlet ensures full compatibility with separation technique ...

Nanostructured conductive transparent coatings
SBC: Triton Systems, Inc. Topic: A15AT016Triton Systems, Inc. and its academic partner are proposing to fabricate an innovative highly conductive and transmissive thin layer to replace ITO on large area, lightweight solar cells. Part of the proposed approach will be to texture the surface of the coating to improve light transmission into the solar cell. Triton will work with a manufacturer of flexible solar panels for the Army, who wil ...

Energy Harvesting Fabric
SBC: Streamline Automation, LLC Topic: A15AT017A human produces more than 100 Watts of waste heat during normal activity. If a fraction of this heat energy can be harvested it can replace the stored chemical energy in one or more of the batteries typically carried by soldiers in the field. The current generation batteries, such as the BB2590 are bulky and rigid. The PowerFelt material developed by Wake Forest University is ideally suited for h ...

Acoustically/Vibrationally Enhanced High Frequency Electromagnetic Detector for Buried Landmines
SBC: AKELA INC Topic: A16AT004Laboratory investigations have suggested that acoustically or vibrationally inducing motion in buried targets can aid in improving target detectability through a characteristic response related to differential target motion. This gain is realized by adding an additional degree of freedom, modulation due to motion in the GPR return signal, to use as a discriminating feature. The AKELA team is propo ...

Identification of Multiple Illicit Drugs Using a Handheld Detector Based on Chemiresitive Sensor Arrays
SBC: Next Dimension Technologies, Inc. Topic: A16AT008Next Dimension Technologies and Caltech will jointly develop a handheld detector to meet the Armys need for a field-based illicit drug identification system. The project will focus on the design and development of a dual-mode chemiresistive sensor array capable of detecting key drugs of interest, including synthetic cannabinoids and opioids. Novel sensing materials, with enhanced chemical sensit ...

Paper test cards for detection of illicit narcotic and cannabinioid drugs
SBC: VURONYX TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: A16AT008Vuronyx Technologies and Prof. Marya Lieberman at the University of Notre Dame will develop paper analytical devices (idPADs) to presumptively identify illicit drugs. All the reagents needed to perform twelve different chemical color tests are stored on the idPAD. The user rubs the powder to be tested across the PAD, then dips the PAD in water to activate the tests. Within five minutes, a color ...
