Navitas proposes a novel approach to produce high energy, high power lithium batteries.Our innovative approach produces multilayer electrodes with gradient pore structure throughout the thickness of the electrode. Phase I results showed that the graded electrode structure enhanced lithium ion transport. The innovative electrodes were fabricated using water-based coating process. Phase I individual ...

Icing conditions create significant safety concerns within the aircraft turbomachinery, and in surrounding nacelles, stators, and thrust vectoring surfaces. Icephobic surfaces could significantly reduce the accretion of ice within these components, allowing for safer operation. However, even after decades of research, there are no known icephobic coatings that can function in aircraft engine reali ...

As foreign submarines become increasingly quieter, there is an ever-present need to improve the performance of passive surveillance systems to increase the probability of detection and ability to resolve critical signature differences useful for classification. Passive acoustic surveillance system such as sonobuoys typically employ arrays of hydrophones, configured to discriminate against backgrou ...

This SBIR solicitation provides the opportunity to specifically look at AN/SSQ-53G sonobuoy subsystems, investigating how our community can miniaturize the existing and required subsystems to provide margin for the development of a new passive directional array. Within the scope of this proposal, we will discuss how SeaLandAire and USSI will systematically and thoroughly address the AN/SSQ-53G son ...

Accurate and timely weather information for situational awareness is critical to the success of Air Force missions.To date, space-borne sensors for weather forecasting primarily include visible, infrared, and microwave instruments.While visible and infrared sensors have reached a high level of maturity and performance, those operating in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum continu ...

In current Air Force ISR operations, human analysts are required to gather, process, and disseminate large amounts of ISR data.Team coordination is relatively simple when an ISR mission is proceeding normally; however, when something goes wrong or an interesting event occurs, individual human team members can become overwhelmed. Our PED-Savant system consists of a suite of algorithms designed to s ...

The Air Mobility Command (AMC) is responsible for shipping approved air cargo anywhere in the world at a moments notice to support warfighter requirements. In order to meet this need, airmen must be able to rapidly, effectively, and efficiently palletize cargo, frequently on 463L pallets, to prepare them for shipping. However, due to the configuration needs, weight difference, and varying sizes, t ...

This project will investigate the use of offensive binary analysis techniques to extract data from program binaries for use by a runtime diagnostic engine capable of malware detection and response. The open-source Angr framework provides the basis for the tools used to collect the analysis data needed to support a diagnostic engine. A diagnostic engine capable of using these collected results will ...

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Rebar has been available for over 30 years, and has been used in over 500 structures across North America.FRP rebar has always demanded a higher price point and this has limited its ability to gain a larger market share.Neuvokas has developed a process to produce small diameter, 3/8 inch, FRP rebar at process speeds that are 23X faster than current SOA.This has creat ...

The objective of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to develop a comprehensive RF link analysis tool for modeling air-to-air, air-to-ground, air-to-surface and air-to-satellite tactical communications in a multi-node, physical network environment. The proposed tool will interface with a dynamic flight simulator andwill provide comprehensive electromagnetic propagation effect ...
