The STRATFI Earth 616 project will create a proof of concept secure Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) based environment to provide near real-time visibility and traceability, along with associated securing of digital assets, for parts and data from an i

Conventional shortwave infrared (SWIR), midwave infrared (MWIR), and long-wave (LWIR) III-V (e.g. gallium indium antimonide, or GaInSb) and II-VI (e.g. mercury cadmium telluride, or HgCdTe) epitaxial semiconductor materials show useful performance for various infrared photodetection applications, but their high-cost and substantial cooling requirements seriously limit the wide field deployment of ...

This D2P2 program plans to explore a new refractory coating technology to successfully coat additively manufactured (AM) C103 components that exhibit variability in surface roughness, 3D geometrical complexity and build orientation with precision-engineer

To aid in Air Force design and sustainment activities of additively manufactured components, QuesTek Innovations LLC, in collaboration with the University of Utah, will further develop and mature an accurate, efficient, and comprehensive fatigue life mode

Energy is a critical enabling component of military operations and demand for it will continue to increase over the next few decades. Effective utilization of renewable energy could reduce demand for fuel for forward operating bases (FOBs), remote operating bases (ROBs), and expeditionary forces, and battlefields providing longer term energy solutions that support sustainment of technical superior ...

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

Current production methods of next-generation high critical field strength solid state electronic materials like the emerging UWBG Ga2O3 are too slow, yields are too low, electricity costs are too high, and defects plague the realization of an energy-effi

The objective of this Phase II SBIR proposal is to continue the design and qualification efforts for a single-axis accelerometer (NSN 6610-00-151-6684) and perform detailed design and qualification activities for a Torque Motor (NSN 6105-01-326-8652). During Phase II, Kaney will utilize in-house manufacturing and analysis capabilities to produce drawings and manufacturing/qualification plans for t ...

The objective of this effort is to demonstrate a 600 Vdc to 28 Vdc, isolated bi-directional power converter that utilizes wide bandgap semiconductors and can operate across a range of military ground vehicles.  The proposed converter is based on a modular topology that contains a combination of GaN and SiC devices, provides at least 15 kW bi-directional power flow continuously, and satisfies the ...

The primary objective of this effort will be the development, demonstration, and validation of a new suite of modeling and simulation capability for Navy analysis needs. The tool suite will utilize a new framework for implementing components models that will allow users to more easily access multiple analytical domains, including steady-state on-design and dynamic off-design. A new suite of tools ...
