Award Data

Military instructors need instructional competencies and domain expertise in order to adequately train warfighters for mission readiness. However, they are not often afforded the time, resources, or computer-based, self-guided learning opportunities to fully develop teaching skills prior to instructional duty. Design Interactive, Inc. will develop the Interactive Military Instructor Training and A ...

Military decision makers are faced with vast arrays of complex interrelated data from numerous sources leading to information overload for military planners and analysts. Probabilistic information strategies have shown significant promise towards improving the current state of information fusion. However, the ability and time required for SMEs to provide realistic probability estimates has pr ...

This SBIR Phase II project, called the Athena Channelizer Technology 1, or ACT1, involves the realization of a new channelizer technology that will meet the needs of Department of Defense Transformational Communications program. Transformational communications is part of the military’s overhaul of its currently diffused communications assets into an integrated system that expands military commun ...

Reliable System Services Corporation proposes a 6-month program to analyze/develop/ demonstrate the feasibility of an automated monitoring and reconfiguration system for multiple remote sensor communications links. The developed system will be suitable for the Navy tactical environment. A specific application would be for the planned Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) mission module unmanned vehicles and ...

A compact, lightweight, direct-view variable-magnification fire-control riflescope with integral programmable aiming system will be developed, which includes: a 1550-nm eyesafe laser rangefinder (LRF), 9-axis inertial measurement unit with integrated environmental sensors and ballistic computer, and a real-time direct-view heads-up display (HUD) disturbed reticle. The proposed system will be demon ...

Additive Manufacturing has the potential to dramatically reduce the weight and cost of long rod penetrator sabots if the right material systems can be utilized in manufacturing. While short fiber polymer composites offer significant weight and cost savings, they are limited in their maximum mechanical performance and cannot meet the specific stiffness and specific strength objectives of this progr ...

In this Phase II program, Voxtel will design, manufacture, and benchmark-test additive-manufactured (AM) insulators capable of electrical stress greater than 25 kV/mm, for use in high-electric-field applications, such as high-power microwave (HPM) devices. These insulators will sustain vacuum of 10-7 Torr and withstand 20 psi of pressure. To achieve this goal, Voxtel will synthesize readily additi ...

ABSTRACT: Octex proposes to develop a concept workflow and agile manufacturing cell that will address the need for rapidly reverse engineering, processing, producing and validating tools, fixtures and prototypes. Octex will draw from its experience in evaluating advanced additive technology, rapid manufacturing cells and evolving validation methods. The outcome will provide for the development o ...

There is an urgent need to improve protection of our soldiers without losing mobility and maneuverability. As personal protection equipment becomes more sophisticated and multifunctional for protection against ballistics, shrapnel, and stabbing, it has also become heavier and more cumbersome. This additional mass can inhibit troop movement and potentially compromise the mission and even survivabil ...

CME along with Texas A&M University (TAMU) continue under this proposed Phase II to further develop an advanced electrical power management system for shipboard application, called PARE (Power Analysis and Reconfiguration Engine). The present version of PARE is a monitoring and control system that monitors the shipboard electrical power system, detects abnormal and fault conditions, determines a ...
