Robust Chip Inc. (RCI) and Stanford University (Stanford – subcontractor) propose a project with two main parts: 1. Development of a unique new layout and circuit design methodology for complete protections against both single and multiple single event errors with a minimal circuit and layout overhead. 2. Development, and integration with fundamental design flow technology (physical design and v ...

In this SBIR solicitation, critical technology is sought that will enable construction of accelerator systems that are operable from moving military platforms or that will significantly reduce the overall footprint of currently available technology. Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation (AASC) offers to develop one key enabling technology of a Laser Wakefield Accelerator (LWFA), that holds promise ...

Aerius Photonics will address the need for a small, ruggedized, long-range wearable micro combat identification device by developing a compact, portable, battery-powered beacon that employs state-of-the-art mid-wave IR (MWIR), long-wave IR (LWIR) and near IR (NIR) laser technology to emit an eyesafe signal that is easily detected by presently deployed targeting pods. Phase I will demonstrate, eval ...

We propose to demonstrate an integrated ride control system for high speed small craft. Our approach uses a smart EM actuator and transom trim tabs as a direct replacement for the ubiquitous electrohydraulic and electric systems currently used for static trim adjustments. Our recent IRAD efforts have produced a self contained control system which can be installed on virtually any craft within a f ...

The ability to collect data for conventional munitions in conditions of increasing acceleration and duration for hard target penetration is needed. Survivability and functionality of an electronic data recorder exposed to these acceleration levels (up 120,000 g) and shock loads is necessary as a result of higher velocity weapons and the use of precursor shape charge warheads to soften the target ...

Current high energy, multi-room test facilities operated in support of Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) efforts suffer from a lack of robust sensors that can provide a cost-effective approach to obtaining dynamic pressure induced gas flows during internal detonations events. Exquadrum, Inc proposes a new sensor package that utilizes existing piezoelectric sensor technologies, but incorporat ...

While current Software and Systems Engineering (SSE) methodologies provide a viable means for technically trained professionals to address HSI concerns throughout the system lifecycle, they tend to be inadequate for non-technical users. To overcome this limitation, the proposed effort is concerned with developing and integrating a set of HSI templates with an existing SSE tool and thereby refining ...

The problems addressed by this proposal are related to the need for fast running models (FRMs) that predict damage imparted to structural components composed of UHPC materials, particularly slabs, by munitions related to their penetration and detonation. These FRMs are also to provide the resulting residual capacity of the component and account for the effects of multiple strikes. The FRMs need ...

State of the art Radiation Hardened by Design (RHBD) techniques must scale down in feature size for radiation effects in 45 nm processes, and also scale up in complexity to support radiation fault analysis of VLSI circuits. Recent access to commercial 45 nm CMOS Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technologies has increased the interest in this technology for rad-hard electronic applications due to the in ...

NIST needs a complete residential energy monitoring system to convey real-time comprehensive energy consumption data by particular end-use to occupants. POC developed a new Comprehensive Wireless Residential Energy Monitoring (CORE) system that integrates multiple wireless sensor modes with a unique radio board into an innovative wireless network architecture. Key Phase I developments were a first ...
