The goal of Next Century's comprehensive Weather Risk Analysis and Portrayal (WRAP) solution (as presented in our Phase I proposal) was to provide an easy-to-use, highly intuitive decision support tool that enables decision makers (ranging from the battlefield planner to the warfighter) to effectively incorporate weather-based intelligence, forecasts, and uncertainty into strategic and tactical de ...

Wireless local area networks (WLANs) have become standard technology for government, commercial business, and DoD networks. With this widespread proliferation of RF technology has come a myriad of problems such as how to architect the WLAN for optimum performance, how to easily set-up and configure the WLAN and how to secure the WLAN to protect it from hackers. Solutions for such problems are ava ...

Technology Assessment and Transfer Inc. (TA&T) proposes fabricating high power magnetic cores with integrated fluidic cooling channels to meet the requirements of emerging inductors and transformers for power electronics applications. TA&T has developed processes for fabricating monolithic ceramic components with complex geometry, including internal cavities and channels that cannot be fabricated ...

Techno-Sciences, Inc. (TSI), in collaboration with the University of Maryland at College Park (UMD) and The Boeing Company, propose to systematically analyze, develop, and test a primary rotor system based on trailing-edge flaps actuated by Magnetic Shape Memory Alloy (MSMA) materials. In our Phase I laboratory testing and evaluation efforts, we have determined that MSMA, comprising single crystal ...

This Phase II SBIR proposal aims to develop a multidimensional protein separation platform based on polymer microfluidics technology which will be capable of mapping a wide range of post-translational modifications (PTMs) in complex protein samples. The proposed system employs three separation dimensions, namely: IEF, SDS gel electrophoresis, and MALDI-MS. The platform will combine IEF and SDS gel ...

Fiber optic towed arrays offer the Navy the ability to deploy larger channel count arrays that support a much wider frequency bandwidth with higher reliability. Without the need for wet end electronics, these arrays also offer lower unit costs and immunity to many electrical and magnetic noise sources. Multiple fiber optic transmission paths are needed in the tow cable to support fiber optic array ...

Corrosion of Army ground vehicles is a significant problem in cost, reliability, readiness, and safety. In many cases, the design of the vehicle relies solely or extensively on the protectiveness of the paint system for corrosion protection. DACCO SCI and Advanced Fluidics propose to develop a low-cost corrosion sensor system (sensor + electronics) that can directly monitor the coating health at ...

Technology Assessment and Transfer demonstrated the feasibility of a pressureless sintering approach for fabricating transparent, hemispherical dome blanks for the Joint Common Missile (JCM) during the Phase 1 SBIR program. Pressureless sintering is the most attractive method for achieving the low cost goals of the high volume JCM production schedule. The proposed Phase II effort is designed to d ...

Techno-Sciences, Inc. (TSi), in collaboration with ILC Dover, Inc. (ILC) proposes to design and develop deployable control surfaces that can exploit innovative adaptive and morphing structures technology at minimal cost and weight to achieve highly maneuverable munitions that can be retasked to achieve new mission objectives. The deployable control system that will be retro-fit capable to the 155m ...

SimQuest will act as a value-added integrator of the state of the art in technology to create a user-designed prototype of a robust basic open surgical skills simulator (BOSSS) for the training of surgeons and others requiring development for credentialing, and certification in surgical procedures on the human body. SimQuest is working with the leading surgeons and surgical organizations involved ...
