The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened awareness of airborne pathogens and their role in transmitting infection throughout the population. The threat of airborne pathogens extends beyond SARS-CoV-2. Diseases caused by airborne viruses (Influenza), bacteria (Legionnaires’ disease and Tuberculosis), and fungi (aspergillosis) are also prevalent, with Influenza estimated to cause 200,000–500,000 wor ...

The objective of this Phase II SBIR proposal is to continue the design and qualification efforts for a single-axis accelerometer (NSN 6610-00-151-6684) and perform detailed design and qualification activities for a Torque Motor (NSN 6105-01-326-8652). During Phase II, Kaney will utilize in-house manufacturing and analysis capabilities to produce drawings and manufacturing/qualification plans for t ...

This proposal follows the DLA SBIR Phase 1 Contract SP4701-21-P-0075. It seeks resources to move to Phase 2 so that the lessons learned and data developed in Phase 1 will further expand on the solution, including the field demonstration for replacing the plastic packaging in food service with the biodegradable Cellulosic Bio-Polymer (CBP) packaging to address military needs. Phase 1 was a great le ...

The project focuses on supporting the US Navy’s fleet of critical assets containing components that are either no longer readily available or produced by the US Government molding shops at high cost. American Energy Technologies Co. (AETC) of Arlington Heights, Illinois, will re-design, modernize, and manufacture several of these parts in-house by reverse-engineering the legacy technology transf ...

Manufacturing of complex metallic components for air and space systems is fundamentally challenging. Traditional processing requires multiple steps, has a high cost and a long production time. Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are the only metals that can be processed through thermoplastic forming (TPF) like plastics. In addition, BMGs have properties that are superior to conventional materials, includ ...

The focus of this SBIR project is to design, develop and deliver a manufacturable current transformer to replace the obsolete legacy transformer that is currently in use in the B-52. During the Phase I and Phase I Option periods of the project, Kaney successfully reverse-engineered the legacy transformer and designed and built a demonstration replacement transformer to meet form, fit and function ...

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the United States Air Force (USAF) are interested in a new design that overcomes obsolescence and repair issues associated with Auxiliary Power Supply (APS) units used in aerospace hydraulic systems. The need for alternative suppliers for aftermarket and obsolete components is critical to maintaining mission readiness and capability for several legacy weapons ...

PJB Consulting along with its collaborators, Amsted Graphite Materials, LLC and HKM Consulting LLC will reestablish domestic production capability of legacy ATJ isostatically molded graphite using a US supply chain and US manufacturing facility.  ATJ, the performance standard in solid fuel rocket nozzles and ablative technologies employed by the US Department of Defense, was last produced in 2010 ...
