This project will result in a new supplier for a specific azimuth telescope that is a critical component in existing Department of Defense systems. Currently, there is no existing supplier for the azimuth telescope and there is no technical or engineering information available for the azimuth telescope that could be used by a new supplier to begin manufacturing the azimuth telescope. To address th ...

Ensemble intends to develop a proof-of concept Neutral Density Monitoring and Alert Service. To establish an innovative and accurate space weather analytics service, Ensemble has partnered with CU Boulder's SWx-TREC, who offer leading space weather research-to-operations support. Ensemble will create the foundational architecture for Neutral Density Alerts and Notifications for commercial satellit ...

Anthropogenic Radio-Frequency Interference (RFI), or interference from human-generated sources, continues to plague spaceborne microwave radiometer and sounder instruments. Unmitigated RFI adversely affects the quality and reliability of Earth remote sensing data used for determining water availability, quality, and risk. Proliferation of wireless technologies, Earth-orbiting commercial satellite ...

Viable Gear will provide proof-of-concept for a seaweed-based bioplastic to be used in manufacturing a compostable biotwine for marine equipment, designed to replace petroleum-based plastics. This addresses NOM-SBIR research topic area 9.3, The Changing Ocean - specifically to "support increased protection and restoration of marine and coastal habitats to enhance vital ecosystems", by helping decr ...

Coupling, Shaft is a mechanical component used to connect two rotating shafts together, allowing the transmission of power and torque. It helps to minimize the effects of misalignment, vibration, and shock and reduces the stress and wear on the connected shafts and their bearings. The Coupling, Shaft (NSN 3010-01-679-7883) listed in Small Business Innovation Program website is an aviation critical ...

Pepin Associates, Inc. has developed a unique, aligned discontinuous textile reinforcement for composite structures.  This reinforcement architecture is composed of short, overlapped tow segments.  The architecture allows the textile to stretch in its reinforcement direction.  This ability permits rapid fabrication of complex shaped thermal protection system structures from simple low cost sh ...
