"Rising sea levels and king tide flooding in coastal areas across America are saturating onsite wastewater disposal systems (OSDS), resulting in the degradation of coastal ecosystems and 200,000+ illnesses annually. Many States are mandating system upgrades, with 88,000 upgrades required by 2050 in Hawaii alone. Unfortunately, existing upgrade options are unaffordable for 97% of Hawaiian homeowner ...

Oceanit proposes the design, construction, and testing of a hyperspectral imaging equipped Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for the detection of various coral species and the monitoring of coral health. This system will be the prototype for the sensor part of a robust, COTS-based UAS system to aid the NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program. Different coral families and species will be identified ...

The goal of this Phase 1 SBIR is for Orbotic Systems to prove the feasibility of generating in-situ, global, ionospheric­thermospheric neutral density and wind ion data on a near real-time basis. Orbotic Systems is developing an instrument called WIND (Wind Ion Neutral Density). This proposal leverages Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 and 8 hardware and software as the basis to develop a new ge ...

"The impact of wildfires on air quality in the surrounding hundreds of miles has been discussed since the ‘70s. There have been a number of studies investigating the severity of the impact of wildfire smoke on the health of people in affected areas that have shown that hundreds of thousands of people die as a consequence of smoke-tainted air. Many studies focus on the impact of particulate matte ...

While the USAF fields the world’s premier air dominance systems, such as the F-22, F-35, and future next-generation air dominance (NGAD) family of systems, all are reliant on effective information superiority and decision-making to support and enable thei

Hydrofluoric (HF) acid has been used for decades to prepare titanium substrate for high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spray per the Douglas Process Standard (DPS) 9.29.  HF acid prepares the substrate by removing any oxide material and etching the titanium,

Space Force end users and customers require an improved solution for producing qualified devices and device components for use in on-orbit servicing and related space logistics support. Critical Innovations, in conjunction with Col Ryan M. Colburn (USSF,

Impossible Objects (IO) has created a fundamentally new approach to additive manufacturing (AM) called Composite Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM). CBAM is a superior 3D-printing process, because the material properties of the parts are better, the proc

The US Air Force has the significant mission of providing time sensitive, mission critical medical support for Prolonged Casualty Care (PCC) for elite forces on the battlefield and beyond. Achieving optimal survivability and recovery under combat situatio

In this proposed D2P2 project, we will rapidly develop a second generation XtruJog machine, XJ-2, to be capable of automatically hot joggling parts with the required joggles at the programmed locations. Self-funded proof-of-concept research has shown that
