The submarine communitys critical need for advanced payload and expanded flight-envelop capable small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) is stalled by current tube launched UAS which have low endurance with low performance Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) packages. Additionally, todays market tube-launched UAS are generally deployed from specific tube launching systems to collect ...

This Navy Phase I SBIR Program main objective was to scale up MER"s window technology to make large, strong, monolithic windows from spinel polycrystalline ceramic up to 18"x22"during Phase I and up to 21.5"x37"during Phase II. The window manufacturing concept pursued in this project presents a solution to the Navy"s need for durable, monolithic, infrared-transmitting sensor windows with target ar ...

The objective of this SBIR research project is to develop a treatment for interlaminar reinforcement that maintains the composite"s in-plane properties. Because the interlaminar region is a critical component of the composite and no current technology adequately addresses its weaknesses, this research has the potential for major commercial and technological impacts. The current technology gap to a ...

ESA is pleased to provide the following proposal regarding the Lidar Collision Avoidance Bathymetry System (L-CABS), an above-water, laser-based, forward-looking collision avoidance and bathymetry sensor system. The significance of this innovation is the use of lidar sensors mounted above the water surface. Lidar is a mature technology that has been proven in numerous applications, including but n ...

Oscilla Power, Inc. (OPI) is developing a utility-scale wave energy harvester that is enabled by low cost and readily-available magnetostrictive alloys. T his device, which utilizes no moving parts, has the potential to deliver predictable quantities of electric power to coastal utilities, industrial users, and remote facilities at costs competitive with coal or gas. The Phase I project demonstra ...

The DataSoft Interface Verification Application (DIVA) provides an automated robust solution for accurate and repeatable verification of developer source code compliance to a set of Standard API"s. DIVA generates customized compliance reports for the user that accurately summarize all vendor deviations from the standard API. In addition, DIVA can verify a single API file or all of the API files in ...

Building on the successful research performed in Phase I of this SBIR, Ridgetop will develop cost-saving technologies to assess and improve the state-of-health of IT network components and services. The approach taken involves a four-step process: (1) regularly query network hardware and software via existing measurement points, (2) process the extracted data with advanced diagnostic and prognost ...

In 2004, Breault Research Organization (BRO) was awarded and successfully completed the “Ship Board Lighting System” Phase 1 SBIR. The goal of this project was to develop a new solid-state deck floodlight that met the Navy’s irradiance and uniformity requirements. In addition, the new deck floodlight had to be night vision goggle (NVG) compatible and have a lower life cycle cost than a tra ...

The continued advance of flat panel display technology in the commercial and consumer display industry offers the opportunity to provide wide field of view high resolution displays to the flight simulation community with significantly higher performance and lower cost than previously available. These flat panel displays offer exceptional brightness and contrast and steadily increasing resolution ...

To extend Warfighter range, and improve readiness, the USMC needs a better sleeping bag for extreme cold conditions. The current Modular Sleep System (MSS) has enough insulation for 4 hours of rest at 0 F, weighs 10.3 lbs, and occupies 1780 cu.in when stored. Marines need a better sleep system that is lighter, less bulky and safe for use to –40 F. S. D. Miller and Associates will continue its ...
