Warehouse injuries and accidents are occurring much too frequently and resulting in devastating consequences and implications for the involved facility. Although the recent emergence of low-cost and unobtrusive sensor technologies have flooded nearly every market to improve health and safety, the warehousing and manufacturing markets have remained largely unpenetrated. Aptima plans to fill this ga ...

Technology Solutions Experts, Inc. (TSE) is proposing to develop the Property Reuse and Disposition Tool, a mobile app that will significantly expedite and facilitate the way in which the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) catalogs excess property for its reuse.The DLA's current process of cataloging excess property is cumbersome and tedious--with the advent and proliferation of mobile technologies, t ...

Team Rose-A-Lee has extensive experience with the RE process, development of TDPs, fabrication, and manufacturing to enable the proposed solution. The overall goal of the Phase I effort is to demonstrate (to DLA Value Engineering (VE) and Engineering Support Activity (ESA)) through Rose-A-Lees proven process that the proposed SAR package is ready for Phase II development. Phase I will deliver a pr ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to utilize a ground-based simulation facility based upon its patented FAST technology to obtain critical data necessary to validate and extend the capabilities of the MDAs high altitude plume code: SOCRATES-P. Far-field plume signatures arise from the hyperthermal interaction of rocket plume effluent with the atmosphere at altitudes greater than 100 km. In P ...

The modeling & simulation (M&S) tools currently used by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to simulate radiofrequency (RF) propagation effects on ballistic missile defense (BMD) radar performance produce medium-to-high fidelity results. However, these tools do not incorporate all relevant RF propagation phenomena, assess propagation effects on radar system performance, or support real-time simulatio ...

Grid Logic proposes to develop a solution for additively manufacturing and qualifying non-critical beryllium-replacement components using a material specified by Raytheon Missile Systems. The solution will be based on new additive manufacturing technology from Grid Logic that permits a wide range of metallic powders to be rapidly deposited and sintered to form near net shape parts. Grid Logics tec ...

Triton Systems proposes to develop and demonstrate the feasibility of a thermophysical characterization system for complex aerospace structures that have been exposed to aerothermal environments. The proposed system is accurate, rapid, non-contact, and minimally destructive. We will assemble and test the components of the system, develop the analysis method and algorithms to process the data, an ...

BlazeTech is pleased to provide a new, innovative approach to determining the decomposition properties of composite materials typically used as thermal protection materials for ascent heating during boost phase and atmospheric heating in re-entry. The rapid and cost-effective methodology is needed for characterizing vehicle signatures and dynamics. The primary concern is for new and evolving mat ...

Currently, optical measurements available on target plumes and re-entry wakes are collected by air or ground assets which view the wake/plume photons after having been filtered through the atmosphere. Atmospheric transmission removes significant information needed to anchor models that simulate these phenomena. MDA needs innovative approaches to mount a spectrometer on the aft closure of the RV. ...
