The highest-risk processing step in manufacturing C-CAT’s ACC material is the initial carbonization cycle, during which a C/Ph composite preform is carbonized to produce a low-density C/C part to be subsequently densified using a Polymer Infiltration and Pyrolysis (PIP) process. Though the carbonization steps of the PIP densification cycles also present a risk, it is during the initial cycle tha ...

Development of Augmented Reality (AR) training tools for combat casualty care with realistic animations and voice navigation capability on tablets and AR headset is proposed to enhance the tools that have already been developed during the Phase II effort on fasciotomy, cricothyroidotomy, and lateral canthotomy. Such enhancements are made possible by the recent advancement in both hardware and soft ...

Sterilization of medical and surgical tools is a critical step in minimizing the risk of infection to combat casualties during far-forward medical interventions. However, there are significant challenges to providing sterile equipment in austere environments where power is limited and ability to transport equipment and deliver supplies is constrained. The complexity of modern surgical tools, such ...

The DoD as a whole seeks the capability to optimally and rapidly return to duty the high rates of Warfighters with destabilizing lower limb injuries and conditions, the most prevalent injury being acute lateral ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability. Over 70% of the general population experience acute ankle sprains in their life, and the rate of ankle sprains in military personnel is nearly f ...

The Department of Defense is solicitating an alternative to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) that is minimally invasive and can be implemented in austere conditions to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Service members that are deployed and suffer from significant damage may need respiratory and circulatory supplementation until they can be transported to a facility with a ...

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 ...
