Driven by the latest strategy directives – including the SECAF’s Operational Imperatives, USAF Chief of Staff’s Agile Combat Employment (ACE) doctrine, and USAF Operational Energy goals – the USAF has clearly articulated requirements for tactical logistic

At Zeno, we’re developing an next-generation radioisotope power system (RPS) that operates by converting the heat from decaying radioisotopes directly into electricity – providing always-on, resilient power in the W-kW range for years at a time. NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense have historically used RPSs, but the cost or weight of these systems limited their broader usability. Zeno's ...

The S-351 mini-sub is a prototype of the Dry Combat Submersible (DCS). This prototype was established as a means of risk reduction prior to a full commitment to the DCS program. Both of these platforms have an operational need to transit with minimum operator fatigue safely to a pre-defined point and covertly deploy and retrieve SEALS. To meet these operational needs, these platforms require upgra ...

Blood-based point-of-care (POC) diagnostics or remote diagnostics that require specialized equipment only available in centralized, commercial laboratories are currently limited by major logistical and technical barriers. Blood collection can be a traumatic, inconvenient, and inconsistent process that is based on decades-old technologies, such as the lancet-puncture, that are not amenable to new P ...

The operational need for this improved towed array technology insertion initiative stems from the necessity to improve availability and reliability of towed arrays in use on submarines in both shallow and deep water environments, and represents a critical submarine capability enhancement. The proposed project will extend and transition the telemetry, packaging and iPEN technologies developed und ...

This proposed SBIR builds upon Fibertek#39;s NASA-funded Laser Communications Terminal (CLCT) heritage to develop new ultra-low SWaP-C technology to create a CubeSat/SmallSat Lunar Network Optical Terminal (LNOT). The LNOT will offer similar capability to state of the art Lunar lasercom systems but at a fraction the size, mass, power and cost making the technology affordable and accessible to NASA ...

CCRIs Phase I research efforts on Modeling and Prediction of Asymmetric Threat Learning Processes have shown the potential for learning models to improve predictive accuracy. The methodology developed proved to be robust and provides improvements in prediction, even when parameter estimation for the structural equation models was not significant. The Phase I results suggest that the development o ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this Type 2 Competitive Renewal SBIR application to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is to conduct a phase I/II clinical trial to investigate the safety and earlyefficacy of a novel antimicrobial living human skin substitute for the treatment of a life-threatening complication of diabetes: chronic, nonhea ...

ABSTRACT: DZYNE Technologies, Inc., proposes a Phase II SBIR effort to continue development of MONARCH, a Mobile Onboard Nexus for Autonomy and Radical Computation Handling. MONARCH shall provide an elastic, embedded computing capability for hosting operationally-relevant classes of software applications onboard manned and unmanned systems through the interoperation of distributed, networked compu ...

The objective of this Phase II SBIR is to develop a transducer using next generation ceramic technology, and wideband amplifier with enhanced magnetics to form a system that will operate in conjunction with spread spectrum digital communications software to enable acoustic communications from a submarine while operating at speed and depth. The research innovation behind project lies in the use of ...
