Scaled Melanin Production to Enable Advanced Materials
SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED Topic: A19BT010Melanin is a largely unexplored biomolecule with a large diversity of molecular composition. It has broad electromagnetic absorbance, is capable of absorbing gamma radiation, is a strong antioxidant, and is resistant to environmental degradation. Despite many intriguing qualities, it has never been produced at industrial scales to enable innovations in materials and coatings. In response to the de ...

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) as a Method to produce High Aspect Ratio Conductive Flakes for Advanced Bispectral or Infrared (IR) Obscuration
SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED Topic: A19BT011There is a significant need to improve the IR attenuation performance of military obscurants and advanced nanostructures could fulfill this demand. Metal flakes Physical vapor deposition (PVD) affirm that more than order of magnitude increases over current performance levels are possible if high aspect-ratio conductive flakes/discs can be effectively disseminated as an un-agglomerated aerosol clou ...

MELD Mobile Metal Manufacturing Technologies For Repair And Retrofit of Infrastructure Systems
SBC: MELD MANUFACTURING CORPORATION Topic: A19BT012America’s infrastructure is aging, and in countless instances there is a critical need to address the degradation of structural components before disaster strikes. Two main infrastructure components are bridges and railways. MELD can fabricate or repair unweldable metals, yields wrought properties, is portable, and has significantly lower operating costs than other processes. MELD, formerly know ...

Rapid, High Throughput Epigenetic Assay for Whole Blood PTSD Genes
SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED Topic: A19BT013Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a forefront of public health concern as the problem is especially acute among war veterans. The current treatment methods for PTSD mainly consist of antidepressant medications and psychotherapy, however, these are still not very effective considering drug use disorders and suicide. Epigenetics, in particular, DNA methylation has been known to show a signifi ...

Improved Identification of the function of Novel and Partially Occluded Laboratory Equipment.
SBC: NOVATEUR RESEARCH SOLUTIONS LLC Topic: DTRA19B002This STTR Phase 1 project proposes development of a statistical relational learning framework for identification of the function of laboratory equipment from imagery. The proposed framework uses semantic reasoning to incorporate evidence from multiple classifiers and feature extractors, domain knowledge, and scene context for scene understanding and labeling. The Phase I effort will focus on imple ...

Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) Without The Global Positioning System (GPS)
SBC: GYROSYNC CORPORATION Topic: A19CT003The growing reliance on GPS for position, navigation, and timing (PNT) capabilities is a vulnerability as GPS can be readily compromised. We propose an artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) driven toolkit - a system of systems of interoperable components and methods that can be seamlessly used as necessary and appropriate for the tactical requirement and area in question. This suite ...

Spectrum Analyzer Using Spintronic Radar Arrays
SBC: Oleandr Scientific LLC Topic: A16AT016We propose to develop a prototype of a novel spintronic spectrum analyzer using arrays of nano-scale magnetic spin-torque detectors. The operation of the proposed spectrum analyzers is based on the recently discovered effects of spin-transfer torque and spin-diode effects in nano-scale magnetic multilayered elements, the fabrication of which became possible due to the recent advances in nano-fa ...

Fully Metallic Self-Fragmenting Structural Reactive Materials Using Composites and Alloys Comprised of Aluminum, Lithium, and Magnesium
SBC: Adranos Energetics LLC Topic: DTRA16A002While aluminum casing materials provide some enhanced performance and thermal loading to explosive ordinance, their overall effectiveness is highly limited by incomplete combustion and long residence times. In order to reduce these problems, the casing material must be designed to facilitate rapid fragmentation through either specialized casing geometries or greatly refined initial particle sizes. ...
