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 ...

In response to DLA SBIR Topic DLA152-001 for Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, Sentient Corporation (Sentient) proposes to develop a life cycle cost optimization tool based on our commercial DigitalClone modeling technology. This tool will enable users to evaluate the tradeoffs between alternate manufacturing processes, implementation costs, and the performance/durability of the resultant comp ...

CAMX Power is proposing field demonstration of a new, ultra-high sensitivity cell screening technology that would reduce a 14-28 day cell monitoring operation in present lithium-ion manufacturing practice to about ten minutes, with cost savings, safety and logistics benefits. EaglePicher and Inventus Power, key suppliers of batteries to the US Military, have each agreed to serve as our collaborat ...

Triton Systems proposes to design an innovative portable device to safely cool (including freeze), transport and store blood, blood components, pharmaceuticals and related serums or solutions in remote and austere environments with limited reach back logistics support.

Moisture wicking textiles are desirable for their use in performance apparel for both casual and high stress wear. This functionality can be further improved upon from current designs through materials improvements, introduction of wicking directionality, or the combination of the two. These textiles are especially useful in military applications, as soldiers are susceptible to experiencing a broa ...

Conductive films that maintain transparency are a key element in many current products and industries, including electronic devices for touch screens and automobiles as sources for generating heat. Such films are also useful in military applications. By introducing a resistive taper in conductive films or antennas, overall performance can be improved by reducing backscattering and increasing sensi ...

Special Operations Forces (SOF) Operators must be able to shoot with prone accuracy when shooting off-hand and on the move. One way to accomplish this is to use inertial position sensors to control actuators which stabilize the weapon in ways in which the user is unable. Gyro stabilization has been in use for more than seventy years. Early applications included inertial navigation and lead co ...

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) procures significant quantities of Ti-6Al-4V hydraulic fittings in a wide range of types and sizes in maintaining legacy aircraft. These fittings are machined from forged preforms or, in the case of low volume procurement, are machined from wrought plate stock. The proposed technology is a radical

The objective of this proposal is to develop a self calibrating, low cost adaptive precision grinding system which provides real time workpiece taper and Scientific Measurement and Adaptive Response Techniques (SMART) control. This system incorporates the knowledge gained during the previous 20 plus years of research to make grinding a science rather than an art. Our approach utilizes a unique rot ...
