Vigilant Cyber Systems, Inc. (VCS) has designed a Cyber Battle Damage Assessment Tool (CyBDAT) to quantify the probabilities associated with Computer Network Attack (CNA), Computer Network Exploitation (CNE) and Electronic Attack (EA) and allow for the direct comparison of cyber-attacks and kinetic attacks in mission planning. In Phase I VCS completed the high level design of CyBDAT, completed the ...

The Windlift Man Portable Wind Energy System (MPWES) will produce 6 kW of renewable energy while weighing only 440 lbs. The renewable energy density (W/lb.) will be approximately seven times greater than a state of the art solar system, as represented by the GREENS system which is currently deployed by the USMC. Significant optimizations are possible in future design spirals that will allow the sy ...

This Phase II SBIR project will continue the development of an optical sorter that will be used to estimate drop sizes in sprays. The optical sorter will determine the size of drops in the 0.1 to 10 microns range. Drops in this size range are prevalent in the automobile industry, where the fuel injection pressures have increased tremendously over the past two decades. These newer injectors provide ...

During the Phase 1 effort, there were several achievements toward the design of grounding systems for MVDC architectures. For one, the common-mode equivalent circuit (CMEC) modeling approach that was derived at Purdue under ESRDC funding, was validated in a reduced-scale hardware setup at Purdue. The system studied consisted of a single generator, active rectifier, inverter, and propulsion machine ...

The Candent Technologies “Reduced Cavitation, High Efficiency Outboard Propulsor for Small Planing Craft” Phase II program is structured to develop an advanced waterjet propulsor for the Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRC). This new axial flow waterjet propulsion system is designed as a “bolt on” assembly that replaces the lower unit of the existing MFE 55 outboard motor. This new propulsio ...

Corvid Technologies, LLC proposes the following technical approach to enhance the state-of-the-art in hard kill active protection system (APS) end-game modeling. End-game refers to the effects (both overpressure and fragmentation) APS countermeasures have on incoming threats. In order to develop and evaluate hard kill APS systems, those that defeat threats by physically damaging/degrading them to ...

The movement to more-electric architectures during the past decade in military and commercial airborne systems continues to increase the complexity of designing and specifying the electrical power system in such architectures. In particular, electrical starter/generators (ES/G) on airborne systems have become much more complex in terms of design due to growth in electrical power and energy require ...

Phase I of Ingenia’s Computer Network Defense (CND) Trainer SBIR project successfully accomplished all objectives and established the foundation for a functional prototype to be developed and demonstrated in Phase II. An enhanced design for the Network Effects Emulation System was produced that is capable of the safe and secure configuration, delivery, and emulation of realistic cyber effects th ...

The Navy and other DoD components require a media-free, environmentally friendly, rapid, and non-destructive method to remove coatings applied on and aboard Navy ships. Atmospheric Plasma Solutions Inc. (APS) has developed an atmospheric plasma process to accomplish this goal. Current processes for the removal of coatings for shipboard applications are expensive, require massive amounts of energy, ...

The objective of Phase II is to continue our efforts from the Phase I project and perform in-depth testing of technologies critical to achieving the required level of measurement performance. The Phase II project will involve the design of the NOAA water vapor profiling lidar and testing of component parts, seeking external sources of funding for the systems (for Phase III) and further creating a ...
