DENTAL ILLNESSES AND INJURIES OCCURRING IN THE FIELD ARE DIFFICULT TO TREAT WITHOUT A DENTAL CHAIR. WE HAVE DESIGNED A FIELD EXPEDIENT DENTAL CHAIR MADE OF COMPOSITE (PRIMARILY HONEYCOMB AND CARBONGRAPHITE FIBER) MATERIALS. THE CHAIR ALLOWS BOTH STAND-UP AND SIT DOWN DENTISTRY. THE CHAIR WEIGHS LESS THAN TEN LB., FOLDS TO A SMALL VOLUME, IS EASILY CLEANED AND IS RUGGED. ADDITIONALLY, THE DEVICE AL ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES A NEW DECEPTION COUNTERMEASURE TECHNIQUE TO COUNTER ADVANCED GUIDED WEAPON SYSTEMS. PRIOR EXPERIMENTATION PERFORMED AT ARC DEMONSTRATED THE INTERACTIONS OF THE LFAD ANGULAR DECEPTION TECHNIQUE, SUPERIMPOSED ON TARGET LINE-OF-SIGHT RATE, AND THE IMPACT UPON MICROWAVE WEAPON SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. THESE PROJECTS EXPLORED SEVERAL OPERATIONAL SITUATIONS AND IDENTIFIED POTENTIAL WE ...

THE PROPOSED CONCEPT IS A REFLECTOR-EXPENDABLE DESIGNED TO COUNTER WEAPONS SYSTEMS THAT UTILIZE INTEGRATED RF/EO/IR TARGET ACQUISITION AND TRACKING SYSTEMS THREAT FIRE CONTROL SENSORS OVER THE ENTIRE FREQUENCY. THIS PHASE I EFFORT IS CONCERNED WITH PROVING PRELIMINARY FEASIBILITY OF THE BASIC CONCEPT ANALYTICALLY FOR APPLICATIONS ON SEMA AIRCRAFT, AND TO PERFORM SUFFICIENT PACKAGING ANALYSIS TO ES ...

IN SUPPORT OF THE IDENTIFIED NEED FOR A FULL SCALE FEED SYSTEM FOR COMVAT WHICH WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH FUTURE AND PRESENT RESUPPLY VEHICLES AND REQUIRE LITTLE EFFORT FROM THE CREW, THIS SIX MONTH TRADE STUDY WILL CREATE, AND ANALYZE A MINIMUM OF THREE FEED SYSTEM CONCEPTS VIA A SYSTEMS APPROACH. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS WILL BE ESTABLISHED, WEIGHTED AND APPROVED BY THE SPONSORING AGENCY PRIOR TO THE C ...

THIS PHASE I SBIR PROGRAM PROPOSES TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF USING HIGH-RESOLUTION DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY (DR), LAMINOGRAPHY, AND COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) TO EXAMINE LAMINAR BONDS IN COMPOSITE SAMPLES SUPPLIED BY THE ARMY. THE PROJECT WILL UTILIZE DISCRETE, SOLID-STATE X-RAY DETECTORS DESIGNED AND BUILT BY BIO-IMAGING RESEARCH, INC. THE PHASE I PROGRAM WILL ALSO RECOMMEND A PRELIMINARY DESIGN F ...

IT IS PROPOSED TO DEVELOP NEW OR IMPROVED ON KNOWN GRADIENT CERAMIC/ METALLIC COATINGS FOR APPLICATION ON DIESEL IRON OR STEEL PISTONS CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING 2000 DEF F COMBUSTION TEMPERATURES AND PROVIDING SIGNIFICANT THERMAL BARRIERS. THE TREND OF DIESEL ENGINE DEVELOPMENT AND PARTICULARLY THE LOW HEAT REJECTION (ADIABATIC) ENGINES TOWARDS HIGHER PISTON HEAD TEMPERATURES REQUIRES THE USE OF THE ...

THE U.S. MILITARY IS IN DIRE NEED OF NEW DECONTAMINATION METHODS/ SYSTEMS. THE CURRENT M258A1 AND D52 ARE EXCESSIVELY CORROSIVE AND A REPLACEMENT IS SOUGHT. IT HAS BEEN PROPOSED THAT THE IDEAL DECONTAMINATION WOULD CONSIST OF A SOLID SORBENT WITH REACTIVE LIGARDS. CDS, INC. BELIEVES THAT THIS IDEA COULD BE A REALITY UTILIZING IN-HOUSE TECHNOLOGY.
