In today’s world of accelerating climate change effects, a community's capacity to plan for and build resilience to disasters, homeland security threats, and extreme weather is of increasing importance. The ability of public safety organizations and local governments to effectively communicate with community members in emergency situations is critical, especially in the immediate aftermath of la ...

Granite Mountain Industries, LLC (DBA Rapid Assault Tools (RA Tools)), will research the customer support within the US Air Force to design a robot mounted and controlled hydraulic breaching tool to defeat fortified inward swinging doors and other obstacles.  This will be accomplished by adapting their commercially available battery powered pump, develop a self-engaging breaching tool and a modul ...

Pepin Associates, Inc. has developed a unique, aligned discontinuous textile reinforcement for composite structures.  This reinforcement architecture is composed of short, overlapped tow segments.  The architecture allows the textile to stretch in its reinforcement direction.  This ability permits rapid fabrication of complex shaped thermal protection system structures from simple low cost sh ...

When GTP discontinued the manufacture of WRe wire, it ended US-based production of a material critical in the operations of MWT/TWT equipment for defense applications.  The objective of this project is to produce a WRe wire that matches as closely as possible the wire produced by GTP while also potentially developing a process that meets or exceeds the yields achieved by GTP.  The wire produced ...

Nostromo, LLC  (“Nostromo”) proposes to: (1) optimizes propellant combustion spectrum to produce radiation in a wavelength that optimally charges phosphors; (2) develop and refine a translucent epoxy matrix that can be incorporated into 40mm training and operational cartridges; (3) design, optimize and test phosphors that are configurable in a thin translucent epoxy and can be readily charged ...

bluShift wants to use our core technologies to develop a launch vehicle system that can be used as a responsive method of quickly launching, assisting, or re-deploying small satellites that are critical for national security or other basic functions that keep America running safely and securely. These small, robust, storable, and nimble launch vehicles will form the bluShift RTSLS fleet (Responsiv ...

Shelter system technologies provide vital support to U.S. military personnel during in-theatre operations and peace-time continuity. Soldiers, logistics experts, and decision makers across the chain of command require shelter systems that perform in austere environments while also being cost-effective, resilient, durable, and easily maintained. For land-based conflicts in more remote locations and ...

Compotech, Inc. seeks to build on our award winning FRAG-CT munition characterization method by developing a new complementary software and hardware package to provide rapid, real-time defect detection at the heart of a munition’s explosive core.  The detection technique leverages proven AI/ML detection software algorithms and high speed CT scanning equipment.

Granite Mountain Industries, LLC (DBA Rapid Assault Tools (RA Tools)), will design a self-contained batter powered hydraulic forced entry kit capable of breaching SCIF doors in harsh environments, as well as develop a realistic, reusable training aid to teach USAF personnel how to successfully breach SCIF doors. Out team has a strong track record of building innovative battery powered tools and hy ...

Hypersonic system development is a priority for the Department of Defense (DoD) modernization programs. Development of hypersonic systems require the effective implementation of three design tools; flight testing, ground testing, and numerical and computational modeling and simulation. Of these three tools, flight data is the most critical for hypersonic systems because it provides information nee ...
