In light of the potential threat and related environmental durability requirements set forth in SOCOM SBIR solicitation #07-007, Exothermics and their Phase 1 program team propose the development and initial testing of a new family of ballistically-efficient, multi-threat, optically-transparent armor laminates for use in applications such as windscreens and sensor windows on special operations hel ...

UAVS (Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle System) integration with naval vessels is currently realized in limited form. This is largely due to the fact that the operational envelopes of these vehicles are based solely on at-sea flight testing. In addition to the complexities involved with at-sea flight testing, the unsteady nature of ship-airwakes and the use of automated UAV control software necessitates ...

Advanced Technologies Group, (ATG)Inc. proposes to develop a self-acting outer air seal for turbine blade tip clearance control. The Compliant Outer Air Seal (COAS) is based on previous successful non-contacting seal developments at ATG. A single COAS will deliver a 3-5% decrease in SFC and a 30-50°C decrease in exhaust gas temperature.

A high-performance cooling system for gimbal-mounted infrared sensors is a critical need for future space-based target acquisition and tracking systems. A candidate approach uses a high performance cryocooler remotely located on the spacecraft platform combined with a high conductance, cryogenic heat transport system to exchange heat from the sensors to the cryocooler. The heat transport system ...

GSG HAS OBSERVED LIMITED SUPPORT OF MODERN PROGRAMMING PRACTICE BY DOD SOFTWARE CONTRACTORS DUE TO THE RISKS INVOLVED AND THE ABSENCE OF PAY-OFF DATA. CONTRACTORS ALSO HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME ACCRATELY ESTIMATING AND SCHEDULING QUALITY RELATED ACTIVITIES ON SOFTWARE OF QUALITY RELATED ACTIVITIES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE MODELS WHICH CAN BE USED TO (A) DETERMINE THE VALUE OF SUCH ACTIVITIES TO CONTRAC ...

ArchieMD, Inc. proposes to develop a 3-D Multimedia Battlefield Trauma Training Kit. We propose to integrate visual 3-D computer models, video recording of the actual treatments, and an interactive virtual patient to develop a comprehensive, effective training tool for Army, Air Force, and Navy medical personnel. The proposed system should be highly effective given the nature of the visual compo ...

This proposal addresses the need for a modern aircrew personnel lowering device (PLD) to help parachutists extricate themselves from trees or other elevated obstructions. The existing PLD design is over three decades old and is large, cumbersome, difficult to use and has significant thermal control issues. A more compact and streamlined device is desired as a future replacement. Creare proposes ...

This SBIR Phase II project will develop and build a health monitoring sensor and analysis system to support the return of military personnel with prosthetic devices to active duty. DoD is allowing increasing numbers of soldiers with prosthetics to return to active duty if they are performance capable, minimizing the loss of their valuable core expertise to the services. There are significant cha ...

Florida Turbine Technologies, Inc. is working to become a first-tier supplier of small gas turbines for military and commercial use. In this effort FTT will study concepts for a modified “high-g” combustor concept for ultra-low-volume, highly capable engine systems. Key features of this system will include ultra-low volume, high external and internal swirl. Concept development would be focu ...
