Non-warhead debris from a typical anti-ship or air-to-air missile can comprise as much as 70% of the total striking mass, which makes it a crucial component of any lethality or survivability assessment and increasingly important as stand-off missile programs are rising in demand.  Many current LVS modeling tools in use by the government do not address residual non-warhead missile debris at all, a ...

Hemorrhagic shock is responsible for over 35% of prehospital traumatic deaths and over 40% of all deaths within the first 24 hours following injury. Multiple intervention strategies are necessary for prolonged prehospital management and improved casualty survivability including improved blood products, hemostatics, damage control resuscitation, as well as therapeutic interventions targeting coagul ...

The current X-ray imaging devices ion the market cannot meet the rising requirements for more safe, higher resolution and portable X-ray imaging applications. One new technology, photon-counting X-ray detector, is revolutionizing the X-ray imaging process which afford high spatial resolution, almost zero electronic noise, much better signal-to-noise ratio, at orders of magnitude lower radiation do ...

Metal additive manufacturing can reduce cost and lead time for a variety of Air Force acquisition and sustainment needs as well as larger commercial markets. A key challenge facing this technology is the negative influence of rough surfaces which can redu

During the Phase II effort, Ballydel Technologies will develop scalable and safe processes for the manufacture of MAX phase and MXene powders in 1Kg batch sizes.  Additionally, our team will implement commercial-scale mixing procedures for the production

As is well noted, GEODSS telescopes are unable to perform their primary space surveillance mission during daytime and weather outages. Passive RF provides a needed augmentation to the GEODSS mission with its ability to maintain custody and support routine

Based on the successful completion of the Phase II effort that demonstrated state-of-the-art UVC LEDs with emission around 265 nm and output power of 25 mW (unpackaged device), a continuation of this effort is proposed. The objectives of the sequential Phase II effort will focus on (a) improving the developed UVC LEDs in terms of efficiency and output power, (b) demonstration of novel packaging sc ...

Long Range Precision Fire (LRPF) systems are an important class of advanced weapon systems which can engage targets at long ranges with high degrees of accuracy. The Army seeks novel material solutions such as Phase Change Materials (PCM)s for LRPF Platforms to improve thermal management and structural integrity while exposed to extreme. Corvid proposes utilizing a multi-length scale modeling and ...

Smart Material Solutions, Inc. (SMS), Professor Mark Mirotznik’s group at the University of Delaware (UD), and MicroContinuum, Inc. have combined their unique skillsets to design plasmonic metamaterials with tunable LWIR absorption spectra and develop highly scalable roll-to-roll (R2R) processes to fabricate large-area metamaterials through a Phase II SBIR project that will conclude in May 2023. ...

Gallium oxide is poised to play an important role in next generation power and microwave electronics. Significant efforts by the Air Force to bolster the domestic substrate supply have been largely successful, however the vast majority of the commercially
