In this Phase I SBIR Program, K+P Agile will develop a high strength, lightweight, modular, composite windshield structure for the MK V Special Operations Craft (SOC) that will not fail when the craft passes through a wave (or

PVPAEO proposes to build on the successful development of a head worn sensor package providing and displaying simultaneous images from LWIR and NIR sensors using a single aperture. The enhanced system will incorporate a higher resolution LWIR sensor andan image intensified camera. Pixel level sensor fusion demonstrated in a laboratory environment as part of the phase I effort will be incorporate ...

WaveBand Corporation proposes to develop a new type of reduced size flexible or rigid antennas that can be mounted on the web gear or the vest of a tactical user. The requirements of both omni-directional and directional antennas as well as of multibandoperation will be satisfied within a fractal design approach. Based on the antennas, a system for directional and direction finding operations will ...

The Directed Energy Tactical Mission Application Code (DETMAC) is a mission planning simulation tool to model directed-energy weapon capabilities, target vulnerabilities, and environmental constraints. It will be used by mission planners to visualize an entire mission timeline and prompt development of optimal tactics, techniques and procedures for successful employment of new weapon capabilities ...

A high sensitivity laser-induced incandescence system is proposed for the detailed characterization of environmental soot. Specifically, innovative approaches have been proposed to (1) reduce the lower detection limit of soot volume fraction and increase the overall measurement range by an order of magnitude from what is currently achievable, and (2) provide PM particle size and number density mea ...

During Phase 1 Atometric developed and demonstrated principles of a four-axis micro machine. This machine is capable of machining metal parts that are sized within 50mm cube to an accuracy within one micron. Our goal is to develop a micro machine that is applicable to a broad commercial market. Three additional features need to be added to make the machine fully commercially viable. These three fe ...

Regenerative medicine is an emerging, interdisciplinary field that will result in new engineered medical products. The introduction of a high-resolution, non-destructive imaging technique that is capable of penetrating deeply into the highly-scattering scaffold medium has the means to accelerate the development and commercial utilization of these novel materials. Multi-photon microscopy (MPM) is b ...

This program will develop a lightweight highly-reliable regenerative power source for installation by SOF at remote sensor sites. Front Edge Technology’s (FET’s) approach is to integrate ultra-high-reliability solar cells and FET’s new long-life solid-state energy-storage-devices into a robust lightweight “Power Module”. The module components will be highly robust and able to withstand ...

To meet the Marines' need for high speed ship-to-shore and land mobility, the USMC Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) is being equipped to provide a leap-ahead improvement over the capabilities of its predecessor, the 30-year old Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV). A critical component of improving the EFV's lethality and survivability is to greatly increase speeds across land. While the EFV's t ...

In response to the SOCOM MANPACK Innovative Vest Research solicitation topic, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop novel Versatile, Expandable, Strategic and Tactical Equipment Carrier (VESTEC) technology to be integrated into the MOLLE/SPEARS/BALCS and ELCS military vests. Phase II will address both short-term and long-term SOCOM needs, delivering multiple sets of prototypes. F ...
