STtNG is a new U.S. Navy shipboard carry-on unclassified satellite communications terminal that will be capable of operating over non-geostationary satellites. These satellites will include, eventually, proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) systems, such as SpaceX Starlink and Amazon Kuiper, Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) systems, such as SES O3b Classic and SES mPOWER, Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) syste ...

Hypersonic system development is a priority for the Department of Defense (DoD) modernization programs. Development of hypersonic systems require the effective implementation of three design tools; flight testing, ground testing, and numerical and computational modeling and simulation. Of these three tools, flight data is the most critical for hypersonic systems because it provides information nee ...

This SBIR Phase II project addresses both the welding of butt joints in plate panels for ships and the manufacture of highly weight-efficient structural sandwich panels for shipbuilding applications. The Phase I project established the technical and financial viability of the Laser/Gas Metal Arc Welding (LGMAW) process to manufacture flat plate blankets ready for further stiffening. A major task ...

On behalf of the U.S. Air Force, AFRL’s Center for Rapid Innovation (CRI) sought a Command and Control (C2) capability to bridge the information gap and unify the many disparate data sources required for Situational Awareness (SA) and Decision Support in the maintenance and security operations of US ICBM missile fields. The scope of this effort is to further develop the foundational technology c ...

Bascom Hunter has demonstrated in Phase 1 the superior performance of photonic based neurons within Continuous Neuromorphic Computing architectures in both electronic and hybrid-photonic hardware. In Phase 2 we will extend that work to create designs for a Neuromorphic Toolbox of solutions providing Electronic, Spiking Electronic and Hybrid Photonic hardware for Neural Network topologies. These de ...

Carver Scientific Inc. (CSi) is developing a mobile self-contained integrated MicroClimate Heating and Cooling (MCHC) device for dismounted operator use that will be integrated with CSi’s lightweight Entropic Energy Storage Device (EESD). The EESD is intended to power the MCHC for a 72-hour mission. During the initial Phase II work, CSi proved feasibility of the MCHC product by developing s ...

Dynepic’s STRATFI solution continues the efforts of the completed Phase II SBIR to continue, extend, scale and enhance the features and capabilities of MOTAR. STRATFI funding provides the remaining core capabilities to make MOTAR a viable and sustainable XR ecosystem. MOTAR provides a secure digital infrastructure to save time and money to deliver a platform with the critical capabilities requir ...

The heat exchanger in the Nacelle of the V-22 Osprey cools gearbox oils and hydraulic oil. In operation, the current heat exchanger becomes clogged with sand and dust and the engine overheats. Also, the current unit is very difficult to clean. A micro tube heat exchanger with large air passages offers the potential to alleviate this problem. In this program, Mezzo will design and manufacture, and ...

Augmented Reality is one of the foremost technological solutions to many of the problems in the workplace. Currently we rely solely on our eyes to diagnose and solve problems. We at 3D Media will solve this by creating software for existing AR Safety Glasses to give flight line mechanics the ability to function with an Augmented Reality (AR) Heads-Up Display (HUD) and parts recognition to increase ...

This Phase II SBIR Program will investigate and demonstrate the feasibility of extending OptiComp’s (OCC) intelligent distributed data communications architecture and optoelectronic (OE) interconnect technology to inter-satellite data communication systems. OCC’s proprietary optoelectronic interconnect technology provides multiband optical communication by integrating multi-wavelength VCSEL an ...
