Award Data

Hypersonic aerial vehicles have tailored aerodynamic shapes with sharp leading edges to maximize performance. When a vehicle is travelling through the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds of Mach 5 or higher, it encounters intense friction with the surrounding air. The nose cone and the leading edges of the flight vehicle will experience extremely high temperatures from 3000°F to 5000°F. Ultra-High T ...

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 ...

Kaney Inc. (Kaney) proposes development of a SAR package and development plan for National Stock Number (NSN) 6150-01-629-3728, a Battery Connector Assembly. This battery connector assembly is out of stock at two different suppliers (but available at a third supplier, please see below in Figure 6-1), and the NSN pertains to F-15C and F-15D based platforms including variants currently flown by some ...

Kaney Inc. (Kaney) proposes development of a SAR package and development plan for National Stock Number (NSN) 5995-01-195-9918, a Radio Cable Assembly for the B-1 platform. During Phase I, Kaney will utilize our in-house manufacturing and analysis capabilities to develop Kaney drawings and a manufacturing/qualification plan for this part. Kaney has extensive domain knowledge and capabilities rela ...

Kaney Inc. (Kaney) proposes development of a SAR package and development plan for National Stock Number (NSN) 6110-01-073-3343, a Generator Rack for the C-130 platform. During Phase I, Kaney will utilize our in-house manufacturing and analysis capabilities to develop Kaney drawings and a manufacturing/qualification plan for this part. Kaney has extensive domain knowledge and capabilities related ...

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 ...

There is a clear need for a reliable U.S. source of low-cost, ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) insulation for use in hypersonic weapons that can protect internal heat sensitive components. ACM has developed high porosity, ultrahigh temperature ceramic (UHTC) foams with super low thermal conductivity using a scalable manufacturing process that produces near-net-shape, rigid/flexible insulation ...

The long endurance “StratoSonde” lighter-than-air, uncrewed system combines a low-cost, 5day endurance StratoSonde supports up to 10 micro-dropsondes, which when released from the HAB, descend safely through the entire atmospheric column under a ribbon drogue while reporting observations directly back to the HAB. This project will assess the feasibility of integrating a disposable miniature ae ...

Low level meteorological data over the world’s oceans is hard to collect, due to the cost and difficulty of sensor emplacement. Crewed aircraft are deployed when major weather events arise, but between those major weather events, in-situ data sources are very limited. Uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) present a unique opportunity to inexpensively collect meteorological data from remote areas, but ...

Farming of marine bivalves provides high-quality protein and has a positive impact on the coastal environment. The U.S. is a top producer of the Manila clam (Japanese carpet shell, Ruditapes philippinarum) with reported sales of $31 M in 2019. Production of clams, however, has depended almost entirely on seed from wild stocks and natural recruitment, leaving the industry vulnerable to ocean change ...
