Optofluidics and the University of Delaware propose to complete the development of the Horizon technology and carry out validation via a comprehensive multi-site study. The technology is a subvisible particle analyzer pioneered during Phase I. The technology is designed to fill two critical gaps in biopharmaceutical product development: (1) Scientists can count and image particles with current too ...

KCF Technologies in partnership with Lockheed Martin, Inc. proposes a lightweight, low drag, quasi-active noise control system to reduce the acoustic signatures of existing SOF fixed wing aircraft. The proposed solution is based on integrating flow-excited resonators near the blade tips of the propeller, commonly the aircrafts major noise source. The resonators are tuned actively to generate anti- ...

The proposed study will evaluate the feasibility of producing a low acoustic emission propulsion unit for fixed wing UAV applications, utilizing optimized propeller designs matched to a low cylinder count small reciprocating engine. Acoustic performance will be enhanced by operating the propeller at reduced speed with high advance while improving the operating point of the coupled engine and furt ...

The opportunity sought after in this proposed effort is the replacement of existing underperforming components within UAV engines with advanced CMC materials that will offer reduced weight, higher temperature capabilities, improved lifetime, and the possible elimination of any cooling requirements. The advanced CMC material development will depend upon the selected engine component and concerns r ...

Tau Technologies leads a team with proven experience in applying technology to solve real world challenges. Our program manager was the Principal Investigator at Battelle Memorial Institute on a project that successfully developed and demonstrated a 300-meter range, man-portable facial recognition system for SOCOM. This proposal will incorporate newer technology and algorithms to improve accurac ...

In response to DoD SBIR topic SOCOM17-002 Moisture Wicking Pathway Treatment for Textiles, Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT) proposes to develop an innovative moisture channeling textile which has the ability to control the moisture transportation through certain pathways on the textile. With the unique wettability pattern designs, moisture generated from the skin can travel along the pre- ...

ATA proposes to conduct feasibility studies and develop a CubeSat Laser Communications (CubeSat LaserCom) system that enables high data rate communications from a CubeSat to ground terminals, GEO terminals, and other CubeSats. Our proposed CubeSat LaserCom terminal integrates advanced ATA line-of-sight stabilization, tracking and pointing technologies with space-qualified laser and detector techn ...

Prioria is proposing a family of aircraft configurations to address USSOCOM's requirements. Achieving the significant endurance, range, winds, and payload requirements simultaneously requires a highly-optimized aircraft. The configurations range in endurance, robustness, and capability. Configuration 1 is a sturdy fixed-wing aircraft that achieves moderate endurance but can tolerate rough handl ...

The goal of this contract is to develop sniper, machine gun, and carbine variant lightweight cased intermediate caliber rounds of ammunition that will provide an overmatch against all current 7.62mm and below military calibers used by opposing forces. The innovative variant caliber rounds developed under this SBIR effort also anticipate reducing the weight of the Unites States used AA11 7.62 snipe ...

The Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (TALOS) is being developed by the United States Special Operations Command (USSCOM) to provide advanced armor protection for operators. The TALOS platform will be used by operators in hot and cold regions; requiring an active thermal management system to regulate body temperature. In the proposed effort, RINI will develop, test and deliver an active therm ...
