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 ...

The TARgeting Distributed Sensors for Situational Surveillance (TARDIS3) program will study the feasibility of sensor-leakage techniques to enable explosive event detection without relying on friendly human or technological assets. Specifically, we propose placing targeted advertisements through public marketplaces that request and surreptitiously exfiltrate the sensor data needed to detect and lo ...

This work aims to push the commercialization of perovskite crystals in a direction that is useful to the warfighter.  H3D will rely on Actinia, a startup company that is bringing the perovskite inventions from Northwestern to market to provide samples of perovskite.  Actinia will grow the crystals and fabricate the contacts and H3D will do final assembly and testing of the detectors.  H3D will ...

  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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this SBIR project, we will develop an efficient, low-cost, rad-hard imager of ionizing radiation (focusing primarily on gamma-rays during Phase I but also expanding to fast neutrons during Phase II) that has high angular (< 2°) and energy resolution (< 2% at 662 keV) that can be handheld (< 4 kg system mass) and has a low operating bias (< 200 V) for its sensing pixel elements. Current radiati ...

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 ...

Beacon Industries Inc., a woman owned small business continuously operating since 1948, proposes to improve both product availability and increased competition through the development of a complete Technical Data Package (TDP) for NSN 2840-01-675-7360 ( Compressor Rotor ) with the utilisation of government-provided technical data or through reverse inspection & engineering techniques. ...

DLA has a desire to expand and increase the number of small manufacturers to address DOD demands and grow the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).  More qualified sources of supply are needed to improve DLA product availability, provide competition to reduce cost and lead time, address lifecycle performance issues, and potentially improve upon the current part design.  Working collaboratively, AMS a W ...
