Award Data

Development of nanolayer polymer films demonstrated a new class of dielectric film materials for high energy density and high temperature capacitor applications. Current state-of-the-art biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) dielectric films are limited by low dielectric constant (e = 2.25), low energy density and deteriorated high temperature performance. In contrast, multilayer film technology ...

Composites are increasingly used in components for defense applications as well as commercial structures. They are generally exposed to microstructural damage and thermo-mechanical loading, leading to physical property degradation. It is a very challenging task to predict all possible failure modes (matrix cracking, fiber breakage, delamination) because damage initiation and its progressive growth ...

The Analysis and Reporting Client (ARC) technology transitioned via this program features a common or standardized solution for analyzing and reporting on smart aircraft data. ARC can be scaled across Naval Aviation platforms by enabling access to additional data formats and either reusing existing or developing new analytics as required. ARC allows for straightforward development of platform-spec ...

The United States Navy has identified a need for a tool to assist the training of Landing SignalOfficers (LSOs) that provides visualization and analysis of data from embarked carrier landings.BGI, LLC (BGI) has proposed a solution for training LSOs by leveraging the existing CarrierVisualization After-Action Review (AAR) product to create a Landing Signal Officer-DataAnalysis Toolkit (LSO-DAT) tha ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) has provided unprecedented freedom for manufacturing components with tailored geometry and properties and has created the potential for production of designs that were infeasible given conventional manufacturing techniques. Topology optimization provides a method for optimizing the morphology of a component in order to provide maximum performance (e.g. stiffness) for a ...

During this SBIR program, Control Vision, Inc. will develop an innovative sub-scale Fly Along Sensor Package (sFASP) which will be deployed from a Ballistic Missile Defense System flight test target AO deployment canister. This sFASP will give unprecedented sensor visibility into Ballistic Missile Defense System test scenes providing truth data to the many different areas of Missile Defense. Appro ...

As the demand for smaller, lighter, and more cost effective optical subsystems increases, many optical system designers see a growing application for advanced holographic lens technology. Having a lens whose thickness does not increase with increasing diameter or focal length is extremely beneficial for reducing size and weight in surveillance, UAV and satellite imaging applications. TIPD’s Phas ...

Additive manufacturing is an extremely customizable process; however, variations in the chosen build parameters can lead to drastic differences in part performance. The performance variation due to process parameters is still not well understood, and propagating all uncertainties from the various sources has been a challenge. Sources of AM parts’ performance variability include uncertainties in ...

Thereis increased interest in endovascular hemorrhagecontrol using aortic balloon occlusion to improve outcomes in preventable battlefield death from non-compressibletorso hemorrhage(NCTH). Our technology, the SABOT, is the nextgeneration in such catheters,which adds the ability of both selectivevascular bed perfusion, bypassinginjured beds, and partial perfusion. In phaseI thefeasibility and proo ...

Successful completion of the previous Phase I study and additional clinical trials has demonstrated that percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has the potential to provide non-opioid pain relief and improvements in function to injured Service members, Veterans, and civilians. Feedback from military advisors, clinicians, and patients have identified challenges that must be addressed to tr ...
