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 ...

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 ...

  The Oshkosh M1070 is a US Army tank transporter tractor unit that is also used in the military for various operations and military drills. It is a powerful tractor truck with an 8x8 drive configuration and advanced features such as an electronic engine control system to ensure maximum efficiency at all times and an 'air ride' rear suspension to ensure all axles remain in contact with the ground ...

Nostromo, LLC  (“Nostromo”) proposes to: (1) optimizes propellant combustion spectrum to produce radiation in a wavelength that optimally charges phosphors; (2) develop and refine a translucent epoxy matrix that can be incorporated into 40mm training and operational cartridges; (3) design, optimize and test phosphors that are configurable in a thin translucent epoxy and can be readily charged ...

Sonalysts, Inc. (Sonalysts) proposes a portable expeditionary unit that can deliver Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS) training to the Fleet via an orchestrated containerized system with an integrated training management application to track operator completion and launch training content. Sonalysts’ solution will also include Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) base ...

The US Navy requires unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) and combatants which are affordable, reliable, fuel efficient, and proven hull forms. Procuring commercially available hull designs provide a cost effective means of achieve this. However, commercially available platforms are typically not designed for fuel efficient operations over broad operational speed ranges required for military vessels; i ...

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 ...

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 ...

The US Navy is searching for a cost effective and novel solution for launchable mini-glider sensor platforms which can be of three standard size form factors. The Great Lakes Sound & Vibration, Inc. (GLSV) proposed glider will have the ability to be launched from the deck of various surface vessels and be able to survive a 48-hour service life in up to sea state 6 (SS 6) conditions. The GLSV glide ...

Currently, all JP10 is produced from fossil sources. The objective of the proposed project is to develop a scalable synthetic approach to producing JP-10 that meets military specification, MIL-DTL-87107E from non-fossil sustainable energy resources. During phase I, we will define, develop, and perform initial laboratory assessment of the proposed synthetic process to validate the technical feasi ...
