Tactical situation awareness (SA) is critical for ensuring the Warfighters situational dominance, especially during combat. SA can improve security, survivability and optimize lethality. The object of this SBIR is to develop a dual-mode transducer (B-Tac) that provides both bone conduction (BC) sound transmission and vibrotactile cues. The merit of each technology alone has been shown to enhance p ...

DARPAs LUSTER program is currently advancing the state-of-the-art in Deep UV laser sources (220-240nm) developing the highest output power, smallest packaged laser system in the 220-240nm range. The goal of this LUSTER/PRIED-Portable Technology Demonstrator (LP-PTD) project is to develop the highest performing and smallest, Deep UV Raman standoff threat detection system. By highest performing we m ...

The accuracy and integrity of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) sources are critical components of modern military operations. These requirements must be met in all operational environments, including situations where GPS signals are degraded or denied. While selective availability anti-spoofing module (SAASM) enhanced GPS receivers provide greatly improved performance over civilian system ...

The purpose of this SBIR is to develop a carbon nanotube metal matrix composite that can used in the manufacturing of small caliber sabots for use with long rod penetrators. In phase one, Additive Manufacturing has been used to make carbon nanotube aluminum metal matrix composites that met threshold requirements and have achieved 95.8% of the objective modulus and 97.5% of the objective strength o ...

Current medical response training for non-medical Soldiers is provided during introductory Combat Lifesaver (CLS) training courses.Due to the inhibitive cost of medical mannequins, in many cases, the practical training provided to CLS trainees is limited to low fidelity mannequins, leading trainees to be ill-prepared to provide care on a high-stress battlefield setting. To meet the need of providi ...

Graph analytics have emerged as a prominent computational workload in the defense community, and are representative of fundamental kernels in national security applications. Processing speed is a fundamental requirement for these applications. Multi/many...

Florida Turbine Technologies (FTT) will design a low pressure spool for a Low Cost High Efficiency Attritable (LCHEA) turbofan engine. Completing the low pressure spool design and testing the engine will provide the Department of Defense (DoD) with engine capability that does not currently exist from a cost, performance and reliability perspective.The low pressure spool is integral to the performa ...

In response to DARPA SBIR Topic SB163-014, “Gun-launched Integrated Guidance Navigation and Control” [GNC], McCormick Stevenson Corporation offers the following proposal; a highly-integrated, gun hardened subsystem, combining guidance computing, iner...

The overall objective of this SBIR effort is to develop and verify an improved mathematical model of human gravito-inertial spatial orientation (SO) that estimates perceptions resulting from the integration of orientation/motion cues provided by visual, auditory, vestibular, and somatosensory senses, especially those cues existing in the aerospace environment. An advanced SO modeling system that i ...

The Hellfire missile has significant drag added from the accommodations for the shotgun connector needed to interface with the M299 launcher. In this program, CMA Technologies, Inc. will further our design of a low profile connector that will significantly reduce this drag. One key to the design is a custom adapter assembly that will allow the modified Hellfire to mate with the M299 with no change ...
