New Way Solutions, LLC and Point Source Inc. offer complementary technical capabilities to provide a uniquely qualified team that can develop a rapid, low cost “proof of concept” design and propotype for an innovative wireless network of fire detectors. The New Way Solutions Team proposes to use an innovative energy harvesting technology that uses the piezoelectric effect to convert mechanical ...

The proposed Skyward/ESI wireless fire detector system is a forward-looking concept that utilizes a collection of some commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies, applies them to this unique problem, and creates an innovative package addressing the many requirements of this SBIR topic. This system uses electro-optical devices in the form of a combination of photodiodes and thin film thermopiles ...

Cosite interference, or self-jamming, occurs whenever operation of transmitting RF equipment interferers with operation of co-located receiving equipment. Ordinarily, such interference is avoided by design, through use of frequency separation, temporal separation or spatial separation. Oftentimes, however, the missions and constraints of military platforms preclude such straightforward solutions ...

We propose to develop an intelligent assistant that enables the rapid creation and use of web services for the warfighter. We will design a web services toolbox, and a web-based assistant built on it, that extends public-domain interoperability technologies with capabilities for dynamic web service creation, tagging services and their history with semantic metadata, and browsing and invoking web s ...

Significant advantages occur in cost reduction, technology maturity, and ease of implementation when using commercial-off-the-shelf components and systems boards in critical military applications. Because COTS components are well documented reverse engineering their contents is very straight forward. The first layer of protection for critical technology is the physical volume that encloses the sys ...

Health monitoring and management of critical machinery is becoming state-of-the-art for military aircraft. Application of advanced health monitoring technology to ground-based plant equipment is an obvious, needed extension. Advanced signal processing algorithms that can analyze vibration signals to identify fault source and severity and track trends of data features is key to efficient maintena ...

This proposal is for the development of a rapid cure resin system to be used as a galvanic barrier or isolation ply application on carbon fiber composite constructions. The galvanic barrier is composed of a UV curable resin used to make a pre-preg system with E-glass, 108-style fiberglass cloth. A UV cure resin is proposed with the use of high temperature and low dielectric cyanate ester monomer ...

Ultraviolet (UV) cure materials have been used extensively in automotive and industrial applications, for decades. Several high-performance UV-curable resins have shown promise for use in military aircraft applications as a composite layer to restore the galvanic barrier, and also as a machining layer to achieve impossible to net-mold composite dimensional tolerances. It is the goal of this progr ...

As demonstrated by recent world events in the Global War on Terror, it is vital to exploit technology to dominate asymmetric conflicts in urban areas. There is an increasing demand for the ability to prosecute strategic targets of interest in urban areas, accurately, in a timely manner, while limiting collateral damage. Teams of Unmanned Systems are key force multipliers in a Vertically Integrate ...
