Materials Research & Design, Inc. (MR&D) and their program partners propose a research and development (R&D) effort to identify, develop, and demonstrate a class of high-temperature resistant TPS materials and production processes which seek to increase domestic production capacity, affordability, and supply chain resiliency. Under the effort proposed herein, MR&D will work closely with the Nation ...

BRM will weave and supply material to Sandia National Laboratory for characterization. Sandia National Laboratory has experience with nose tip applications, and they are currently working to redesign sounding rocket leading edges. BRM and Sandia National Laboratory shall characterize the continuously woven preforms for the sounding rocket leading edge, but this work will also feed into the charact ...

The loom developed by the BRM team is the most advanced and versatile loom ever built by BRM. The servo control of all movements in the weaving operation, combined with BRM’s experience of weaving novel structures is a true game changer, advancing BRM’s ability to supply woven preforms which were unobtainable until now. Now that the loom is built and a proof of concept has been woven on the lo ...

Automating the transfer of nodular aluminum powder within a plant by using compressors or blowers can bring several benefits: Increased Efficiency: Automation will eliminate the need for manual labor, reducing the time and effort required for powder transfer. Compressors or blowers will move the powder quickly and consistently, improving overall efficiency. Cost Savings: By replacing manual labor ...

Actoprobe LLC proposes development of a novel class of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) active optical probes with dramatically increased sensitivity and spatial resolution for Near-Field Optical Nanospectroscopy and Nanoscopy. The innovation is accomplished by integrating a diode laser source and a photodetector into a silicon AFM probe in such a way that both the AFM tip and detector are inside the ...

DeVal Life Cycle Support, LLC is proposing to improve product availability and increase competition through the development of a Source Approval Requests (SAR) for NSN 5210-01-519-1548 – Box, Adapter.​​​​​​​ DeVal Life Cycle Support, LLC will conduct relevant research and reverse engineering resulting in the development of the technical data package (TDP) as well as a SAR. The in ...

Standard Missile 3 (SM-3) employs a divert and attitude control system (DACS) to guide the kinetic weapon (KW) in a hit-to-kill maneuver.  The DACS motors employ C/SiC composite throats and pintles to control the hot gas thrust and thereby guide the KW during the final maneuver.  Existing DACS hardware are made using needled carbon fiber preforms purchased from France.  The supplier has decided ...

Modern lithium ion batteries are known for their poor safety performance, with many reports of battery failure and fire having been reported. One of the major causes of battery fire is from the use of flammable solvents, such as organic carbonates, as the electrolyte. These hazards have long limited the usage of batteries in dangerous conditions, such as on the battlefield. To combat this issue, t ...

Compass Systems Inc. has extensive design and manufacturing expertise in the Cable Harness industry.  Our team of engineers and manufacturing technicians are well suited to support the technical review of fragmented/incomplete documentation, system inspection (if required), TDP generation, and the SAR submission for NSN 615013643908.  Compass Systems Inc. also possess extensive past performance ...

Team Mystic Spear will identify and procure a best-in-class software package capable of identifying, interrogating, extracting, correlating, and fusing data from sensors into a standard dashboard of USSOCOM’s choosing. We will also discuss APIs and all things access with smaller Smart Cities that also have Port facilities to determine any less obvious sensor/data feeds. From this research we wil ...
