The industrialization and urbanization movements have resulted in air pollutants being commonplace in industrial and residential areas; pollutants are produced by automobiles, manufacturing processes, and home improvement, among other activities. Air toxics pose a significant risk to public health and lower quality of life due to both acute and chronic health impacts. Therefore, there is a need fo ...

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 ...

During this Phase II SBIR research project, Ohio Lumex will complete development of a sorbent trap method for continuous emissions monitoring of metal hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. If method sensitivity is sufficient and the method is approved by EPA, it may also be used as an alternative to Method 29 for short-duration testing. Metal HAP emissions from stationary sources are currently ...

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 ...

Legacy systems represent challenges for the military services and DLA.  During the initial SBIR Phase II, the fuel oil cooler (FOC) for the TF34 and other engines—which have been problem parts for years—were successfully addressed.  This effort applied proven reverse engineering methods to generate a technical data package (TDP) that can enable a qualified production source to make the part ...

Maintaining the many types of legacy weapon systems within the Department of Defense (DoD) is an enormous task, made more challenging by the aging of many of these systems. Some of the weapons were designed over 50 years ago and are now facing a shortage of sustainment components due to obsolescence. The situation is further complicated by the lack of sufficient documentation for fabricating or bu ...

The goal of this Phase II project is to support the DOD supply chain with the installation of a pilot scale domestic manufacturing source for polycarbosilane (PCS) preceramic polymer for high temperature or hypersonic applications. CermeTech will work closely with a Tier 1 supplier of composite structures and components to test and verify key performance criteria and develop and demonstrate pilot ...

High temperature resistant materials, including carbon-carbon (C-C) are critical to enabling the thermal protection of hypersonic DoD weapons.  A specific focus of the Defense Logistics Agency is on innovation for improved production rate and affordability for C-C thermal protection systems and delivery of that innovation to DoD system manufacturers. Cornerstone Research Group Inc. (CRG) proposes ...

The Digital Sustainment Platform (DSP) provides cloud-based industry best practice advanced analytics, engineering, manufacturing, modeling & simulation, product quality, and supply chain management service-based capabilities for the Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and DoD Arsenals, Depots, and Shipyards, and extends these same capabilities via a Service Portfolio Mana ...
