TAF proposes to Reverse Engineer the McNab Circuit Card Assembly, NSN identified by DLA, 5998-01-276-2156, using available adjacent and salvaged parts. TAF will create a Technical Data Package (TDP), manufacture and test prototypes, develop a Source Approval Request package, and ultimately deliver 5-10 working sample parts for Source Approval. The NSN is a critical Circuit Card Assembly — more c ...

In recent work funded by the Defense Logistics Agency, NanoSonic has established both scientific and technical merit for the production of Type I and Type III Industrial Rubber Gloves for the Nuclear Enterprise Systems Office (NESO) using traditional manufacturing techniques as outlined in MIL-DTL-32066A.  Important to the proposed effort, NanoSonic has also demonstrated the feasibility of using ...

The Air Force desires to procure parts to Drawing WRG95936, however, obsolesce of materials and the loss of the previous supplier no longer in this business, makes finding an alternative source necessary. Validation of new materials is required. Chase has the pedigree history from the previous source and relative experience to assure form, fit, functionality of the new part.

Geomagnetically induced current (GIC) hazard is a recognized threat to the United States power system. Federal models to support hazard specification and prediction for critical infrastructure are at an advanced state, including models of space weather, the Earth’s conductive structure, and regional geoelectric field. We propose to use existing NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (NOAA-SWPC) mo ...

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) seeks improved product availability through increased competition for certain National Stock Numbers (NSN) with an annual demand of > $10,000 and fewer than two manufacturers. During Phase I, NanoSonic identified two parts whereby warfighters and the DLA would benefit from having an additional source from both economic and technical business cases. During Phase I ...

Leveraging the HyperLedger blockchain platform, the LEDGEr-based Network for Document Distribution (LEDGENDD) solution promotes effective document and data publication and sharing within the Defense Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) community. In addition to high availability and confidentiality, LEDGENDD enables easy document authentication and integrity verification, traceable d ...

We propose an innovative system to create an open method of tracking the “chain of custody” of technical artifacts in a distributed ledger called CustodyChain. Blockchains are a form of distributed ledger. CustodyChain facilitates Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC)’s goals of preserving knowledge, connecting people, and inspiring innovation. CustodyChain is designed for use beyond D ...

NanoSonic, a 30,000 square foot specialty materials production facility, in the Wheatland Eco-Park, has developed an environmentally friendly, advanced manufacturing process to fulfill the Defense Logistics Agencys (DLA) need for affordable discrete-parts with fine features for legacy and future fielded weapon systems.We have developed a technically advanced and innovative manufacturing method to ...

200-word technical abstract TAF proposes to substantially reduce manufacturing and acquisition costs of battery packs by developing clear, open, and vendor-agnostic specifications for the major components within each battery pack. The packs will be partitioned at the component level, i.e. Least Replaceable Units (LRUs), and aligned for maximum commonality across the current National Stock Numbers ...

A variety of daily use products today, such as magnets, cell phones, catalytic convertors etc., use rare earth elements such as Neodymium, which are not available in US, but have to be wholly imported from China.With export restrictions in China, it has become imperative to develop methods to reclaim Nd from discarded products to sustain a viable domestic supply chain.Extracting rare earth element ...
