Aging military infrastructure is constantly in the need of replacement and upgrades. Competent and qualified domestic producers of these mission vital items are becoming increasingly scarce leading to fewer sources and less competition in the marketplace. To ensure that warfighters are properly equipped to perform their missions it is critical to have a reliable and sustainable supplier base wit ...

Given the benefits of exercise on general health, orally active compounds that can mimic or potentiate the effects of exercise have been of keen interest as therapeutic and dietary ingredients. Our proposed approach for enhancement of USSOCOM Multi-Purpose Canine (MPC) endurance and sensory performance using an exercise mimetic is based on the observation that age-related decline of nicotinamide ...

SeaLandAire Technologies, Inc. (SLA) proposes to meet this Group 2 need with an electric drive concept that will be capable of a 20-30 lbs. modular payload, with comparable range and endurance to current grp 2 ISR UAS, while still maintaining sufficient ISR capabilities. This UAS concept is able to covertly and safely deliver payload to within 1 meter accuracy, then extract a different payload an ...

The Navy has challenged the Small Business community to develop an improved skirt system for air cushion vehicles which reduces total ownership cost by increasing product life, decreasing manufacturing costs as well as installation and maintenance time, and improving reparability. The current system is primarily comprised of vulcanized polychloroprene rubber bonded to chemically coated nylon fabri ...

Rigid Wall Shelters (RWS) are an integral building block for Marine Corp operations and support a multitude of operational needs from maintenance and repair operations to command posts and medical operations. There are several key operational deficiencies with metal RWS, the weight of legacy systems and lack of insulation result in a high cost to transport and difficulty heating and cooling interi ...

ColdQuanta is developing a highly-integrated, compact physics package that will reduce the size, weight, and power (SWaP) of the next-generation of space-based optical clocks. The key element of this system is the development of an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) manifold for laser cooling strontium. The extremely narrow linewidth of strontiums optical intercombination transition is ideal for constructing ...

This SBIR Phase I project will develop low-cost high-speed manufacturing process to produce high performance capacitor film with high dielectric breakdown strength, high thermal conductivity, low leakage current, and high operation temperature.

Dielectric materials, which store energy electrostatically, are ubiquitous in advanced electronics and electric power systems. Polymer dielectrics have highbreakdown strengths and excellent reliability, are scalable, lightweight and can be shaped into intricate configurations, and are therefore an ideal choice for many power electronics, power conditioning, and pulsed power applications. A variety ...

In this SBIR project, Polymics proposes to develop high temperature high energy density film capacitors using Polymics proprietary class of advanced high temperature polymers and their nanocomposites with dielectric constant (K) higher than 3, thermal stability above 200 C, and dielectric loss less than 1%, to meet the targets of a 95% or higher charge/discharge efficiency to 400 volts/micron at 1 ...

As organizations grow in size and complexity, it is only natural that inefficiencies exist. One of the challenges faced by organizations is the information needed to identify, characterize, and resolve these inefficiencies is located in different stovepipes and may be biased based on a variety of factors. Both crowdsourcing and human computation research and design thinking practices have develope ...
