During this project the Reverse Engineering (RE) practices will be applied to develop Technical Data Packages (TDPs) for needed items with limited or no sources of supply, with the ultimate goal of submitting a Source Approval Request (SAR). Using a proven Reverse Engineering and SAR development process, the packages will be developed and submitted to the relevant Engineering Authority. DLA is at ...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are advanced adsorbents with applicability to military and civilian applications including but not limited to chemical biological protection, chemical warfare agent decontamination, toxic industrial chemical remediation, medical oxygen delivery, and energy storage. These materials have been produced in ton-scale quantities and have seen commercial use in the electro ...

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 ...

Type II superlattices (T2SL) represent a promising material system capable of delivering very producible, large-format broadband MWIR and LWIR focal plane arrays (FPAs). High temperature operation of current MCT based FPAs is limited by inherent defects in the II-VI material and strong Auger recombination. T2SLs are based upon mature III-V materials and would provide high material quality, lower s ...

Numerous government agencies and commercial organizations are dependent on mission critical ecosystems (i.e. federated systems of systems [SoS]). Integration, testing, and certification (IT&C) of these ecosystems are required before fielding production ready systems. These activities are time consuming and costly, ultimately inhibiting the ability to rapidly update these systems. Additionally, sy ...

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 ...

Deposit-induced degradation of alloys and ceramic coatings in turbine engines is regarded as one of the core challenges preventing further gains in performance and efficiency. Historically, hot corrosion (HC, i.e., accelerated oxidation) of alloys in the presence of chloride and sulfate deposits has been treated separately from the degradation arising when molten silicate deposits (CMAS)1,2 infi ...

During this project the development of Supplier Approval Requests (SARs) for urgently needed components will occur. Using a proven SAR development process, the packages will be developed and submitted to the relevant Engineering Authority. DLA is attempting to develop qualified sources to improve product availability and provide competition for reduced lead time, cost, as well as address lifecycle ...

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 ...
