Award Data

REACT will connect to a mix of proximity links between smartphones (e.g. NFC, QR-code sequences, BLE and WiFi). In particular we will implement a QR-based communications link prototype in Android to test performance of transfer between two smartphones. Li

Parts Life, Inc. is proposing to improve product availability and increase competition through the development of a Source Approval Requests (SAR) for Tool Set, Dome Nut NSN 4920-01-284-0198 with government provided technical data through our Reverse Engineering (RE) Process. Upon contract award, if DLA has adequate technical data available, Parts Life, Inc. will utilize the technical data to deve ...

To meet the demands of the DMEA182-002 SBIR solicitation (“Front End of Line and Back End of Line Layer Fabrication Partitioning for the Purpose of Design Intellectual Property Protection”), the MaXentric and UCLA team proposes the HIGHFIVE (Heterogeneous Integration Guideline Highlighting Fabrication of Information Veiled Electronics), which provides a practical verification flow using the c ...

This research will develop a 128x128 on 30 µm pixel pitch radiation hardened Laser Detection and Ranging (LADAR) system for spaced-based long range imaging. This advanced LADAR system will be integrated with an InGaAsP-based linear-mode Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) optimized for 1.06 µm operation. Studies will be completed to optimize the APD structure for radiation hardness, achieving gains ...

In this SBIR program, Structured Materials Industries, Inc. (SMI) will develop infrared (IR) antireflection (AR) coatings, which can be applied conformally to the interior of ogive shaped missile domes. SMI will develop the coating materials, the coating process, and the commercial coating equipment for implementation in Phase III. The proposed coatings will provide optimum antireflection properti ...

We propose a novel and secure solution for an advanced battlefield communication system. The proposed headset communication system provides improved communication, localization, and auditory preservation for combat and training scenarios. The system leverages advanced digital signal processing technologies developed at our company. During Phase I, we will demonstrate a real headset prototype with ...

High voltage, high efficiency current conducting switches are needed for future high power naval applications. Current commercial Si devices do not meet this need. High quality thick film GaN is a promising alternative with the theoretical capability of providing the needed performance; however, it is presently very difficult to produce such thick films reasonably in existing GaN film growth tools ...

OPT proposes to develop an innovative optical-mooring (OM) system for small communications buoys that uses a variable-buoyancy cable over-sheath that shapes the OM cable to provide compliance.

In this SBIR effort we will develop an ultra-compact, high-speed, low RIN and high-power transmitter for high-performance RF photonic link applications based on our cutting-edge lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) modulator. In phase I, we will design, fabricate and characterize a low Vp, push-and-pull LNOI modulator. We will study the optical couplings at the laser/modulator/fiber interfaces to a ...

Lidar operates as a pair of synchronized photon emitter and receiver, where the receiver detects the emitted photons reflected from the target. The photon emission is temporally modulated into pulses, and the receiver detects the temporal modulation in the reflected photons and derives target range information, similar to the radar. The most common temporal modulation in lidars is by laser pulses ...
