SpaceWorks proposes to continue development and advancement of its novel QuickShot trajectory optimization software suite. A number of new modeling capabilities of value when simulating advanced military systems will be implemented. Additionally, a variety of case studies and applications that will showcase and demonstrate utilization of these new features will be conducted.

The CONOPS for the Expeditionary Medical Support System (EMEDS) is based on practical effectiveness, speed, and efficiency. Key among the tools required by the Air Mobility Command and the Air Combat Command, which are two of the major commands that are part of the United Air Force is a multi-channel intravenous infusion pump capable of delivering fluids that meets the safe-to-fly criteria for all ...

FireSky/CHATTIN (Cyber Hardening and Agility Technology for Tactical IP Networks) provides cyber defense, agility, and real-time threat intelligence for aerial tactical IP networks. FireSky/CHATTIN drops into existing IP based aerial networks and provides cyber defense. This work involves enhancing FireSky/CHATTIN to provide the capabilities required for deployment to Battlefield Airborne Communic ...

Our goal in this SBIR project is to develop a lightweight, low-power, inexpensive hyperspectral spectro-polarimetric imaging sensor for wide area standoff detection of chemical agents. The imaging system will employ an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) that operates in the LWIR wavelength range. The sensor will have polarimetric imaging capabilities which, adds a valuable signature feature to im ...

In this Phase II effort, Zeteo will further develop over-the-ear and in-ear canine hearing protection device prototypes. These devices will combine passive hearing protection with active noise cancelation. The devices will also have a communication channel to allow the handler to communicate with the dog. Design requirements evolved from Phase I will be used to design over-ear and in-ear configura ...

Airworthiness assessments of software-intensive based systems in aviation cannot be limited to verification and testing of the end product, i.e. computer code, since other factors can have an important effect on safety and integrity. Current methods and tools have limitations that do not adequately address the issues affecting the growth in complexity and cost of system development and certificati ...

Per- and polyflouralkyl substances, otherwise known as PFAS, are a large group of chemicals including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). These chemicals have a large variety of uses globally. Remediation of PFAS has gained importance due to their environmental persistence and toxicity. Water treatment methods must combine multiple strategies to be effective, as PF ...

In addressing Topic 1C in this solicitation, “Innovative pretreatment technologies for PFAS in industrial wastewater”, this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop a novel nanofiber mats fabricated by electrospun polymer nanofibers for the “smart” (selective) removal of perand polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from landfill leachate. The co-contaminants, low ...

To reach the end user, oil and gas production at the wellhead must be transmitted through the country and distributed to a wide range of customers. This logisticalsystem requires natural gas gathering lines, processing facilities,product storage tanks and Jots of other equipment. What results is air pollution caused by industry losses during these operations and the use of continuous or intermitte ...

Highly pathogenic alphaviruses like VEEV/EEV/WWEEV cause encephalitis in humans and equids. These infections are endemic in wide regions of the developing world. Translational research regarding these pathogens is focused on developing new strategies to detect, treat and ideally protect humans and animals from these infections. Gene-encoded antibodies against alphavirus E1/E2 surface proteins will ...
