Aging aircraft wiring has been identified as an area of critical national concern, due to safety problems, maintenance expense, and lost mission capable time. The objective of this proposal is to create and deploy a wire fault location system for aging aircraft utilizing spread spectrum sensing methods. This project will develop a Wiring In Line Maintenance Aid (WILMA) that can be used for in lin ...

Our Phase II effort creates a set of commercially viable tools that represent significant advancement in the state of art for software maintenance engineering, management and estimation. Software maintenance and estimation is a huge problem for all of the software industry, especially those parts involved in the maintenance of high risk, complicated, systems – like cruise missiles, airplanes, ...

Current computed tomography (CT) techniques for nondestructive testing (NDT) of munitions and other non-medical specimens often produce inferior imagery due to artifacts, impairing detection, identification, and measurement of anomalies. In this Phase II, JDLL generalizes its Phase I artifact-reducing CT algorithms to 3D cone-beam configurations, testing these algorithms against real data, perman ...

The fundamental objective of this Phase II proposal is to develop an economically viable and structurally reliable 40-foot tall, fiber-reinforced composite, unguyed tilt tower with counter-balanced raise/lower capability. IsoTruss’ proposal includes a bifurcated development approach. The bifurcated approach has been separated and termed Phase II Part A and Part B. Parts A and B of IsoTruss’ ...

76066S Ceramic membranes with ion-specific conducting properties can provide gases with purity unmatched by other gas separation methods. However, in order to realize the full potential of these membrane devices, high temperature seal materials are required to isolate the ultrahigh purity product gas from the inlet gas mixture. This project will develop a composite seal material that combines t ...

This SBIR proposal consists of three (3) related research efforts. Research effort 1 will focus on further development of the configurable running gear / shape shifting track concept as started by ASI during the Phase I award. Research effort 2 will focus on the development and completion of the hardware and electronics systems of the T4 robot as started at the Center for Self Organizing and Int ...

As a result of Phase I research and development, MDInformatics (MDI) designed a comprehensive CBRNE Core Curriculum (C3), a dual-pedagogy (didactic presentations + case-based learning) Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) system for C3 course content delivery, and a course content development plan to be used in Phase II in order to complete development of the C3 course. C3 was designed in accordan ...

This solicitation calls for exploration and development on approaches to find solutions to innovative, high power, short pulsed, low cost W-band transmitters. The approach to be undertaken in this SBIR proposal by InnoSys is to develop a compact, small volume, low-cost, high-power W-band solid state vacuum device (SSVD) transmitter specifically designed for this SBIR program. Design goals includ ...

Large, complex software systems are difficult to maintain, modify, and enhance. Information regarding the overall system architecture and individual component design is often sparse, and usually informal. In order to effectively address legacy system maintenance and evolution, we must provide facilities to recognize and represent the information abstractions which exist throughout a softwar ...

This solicitation calls for research and exploration on approaches to find solutions to high power W-band amplifiers for use in directed energy (DE) weapons that are more affordable and compact and have additional desirable features including low standby power and instant-on capabilities and are, for example, HUMVEE field friendly. In addition the ability to produce such amplifiers in relatively ...
