Within three months, SHE BASH will conduct the research necessary to confirm the applicability of their Department of the Air Force Enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (DAF ePKI) solution to determine how the capabilities of the technology can address well-defined defense needs and conduct outreach with empowered and committed USAF Customers and End-Users to plan a SBIR Phase II prototype effort. ...

Direct Energy weapons in the form of High Energy Lasers (HEL) and High-Power Microwaves (HPM) for use in air and space-based platforms, continue to be technologically challenged, mostly due to equipment size, which translates into a need for higher energy and power density components.  High voltage pulse capacitors are a key and often a critical component of different pulse power systems.  The P ...

There is a need for a lightweight, high-performance, insulation to protect the internal systems in hypersonic vehicles. A passive thermal protection system (TPS) design would be simple and reliable. As designs evolve, there is a need for TPS insulation materials that can be additively manufactured. Our Phase I approach will additively manufacture pre-ceramic scaffolds that are used to create low d ...

Dragoon Technology proposes to develop a power-dense hybrid powerplant meeting the requirements of small deployable Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), providing greater endurance and range than that provided by battery power. Dragoon’s existing hybrid powertrain meets the needs of small, long endurance UAS, and will be adapted to the higher power and more compact form factor requirements of deployed ...

Granite Mountain Industries, LLC (DBA Rapid Assault Tools (RA Tools)), will research the customer support within the US Air Force to design a robot mounted and controlled hydraulic breaching tool to defeat fortified inward swinging doors and other obstacles.  This will be accomplished by adapting their commercially available battery powered pump, develop a self-engaging breaching tool and a modul ...

The Department of Defense (DOD) is the world’s single largest consumer of fuel, spending more than $20 billion a year to purchase 4.6 billion gallons of fuel and transport it across the world. The Air Force (USAF) uses 52 percent of that total—about 2.4 b

The AF22A-T006 STTR topic “Development of Integrated Infrared Focal Plane Arrays on Si, Requiring No Hybridization” seeks to develop infrared focal plane arrays (FPAs) directly onto silicon readout integrated circuitry without hybridization, operating at
