This Phase II Small Business Innovation Research project develops the scale of lithium-ion direct recycling technologies applied to gain efficiencies in materials management from original manufacturing to end-of-life. The scrap materials are from Defense Logistics Agency manufacturing activities. A successful effort moves direct recycle TRL from 4 to 6, increases process throughput, qualifies mate ...

At present, there are no solutions for equipping Class 1 and 2 unmanned aerial system (UAS) platforms with weapons systems that provide the capability for opportunistic engagement of high value targets (HVT). Munitions deployed on larger UAS, and other fixed-wing SOCOM assets, greatly exceed the payload capacity of Class 1 and 2 UAS assets currently in use for intelligence, surveillance, and recon ...

The current project will develop and demonstrate a prototype compact, power-efficient all-fiber lidar unit for wind profiling on board UAV's and other aircraft. The system leverages Oceanit's current fiber-laser based lidar development efforts. A unique design provides a rugged system with no moving parts and little maintenance requirements. Efforts in the current project will include prototype s ...
