There is a requirement for a seafloor mapping system that will provide high resolution imagery in very shallow water when rigidly mounted to a 24 foot boat that is advancing at up to 10 knots. In this Phase I effort we propose to determine the feasibility of meeting this requirement with a prototype multiple-ping chirp side-scan sonar to operate at high frequencies and high ping rates, where multi ...

IISI Corporation proposes to develop a Small Team Command, Control Communications and Situational Awareness (C3SA) product to improve situational awareness while maintaining a Low Probability of Detection (LPD) for Special Operations teams in/under the water and on land. Phase I of the SBIR 08-001solicitation is limited to a Feasibility Study of the C3SA technology. IISI Corporation has assembl ...

The Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (Small) (CRRC(S)) is used by Special Operations Forces (SOF). The current craft, underway, produces a highly discernible bow wave that enhances its probability of detection. A primary means of reducing the detect- ability of the CRRC(S) is to decrease the bow wave and wake of the craft that will enhance the survivability of the craft and crew in the combat arena. To ...

SCIENTECH proposes to design, develop, and test an ultra-broadband active biconical antenna, fabricated from thin copper clad fiber glass or teflon (PCB). This active biconical antenna will be designed and be compatible with existing receivers, will be extremely low physical profile, and yet support effective reception in the HF, VHF, and UHF frequency ranges. The ultra-broadband active biconical ...

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 ...

Agiltron Development Corp. will develop the world"s first affordable, reliable and accurate Helicopter Hostile Fire Indicator Sensor capable of detecting small arms through rocket propelled grenade threats using Agiltron"s unique photomechanical, uncooled infrared sensor. In phase one, Agiltron will construct a test sensor system and conduct field tests to determine detection range, accuracy and f ...

SOCOM and other DOD services have urgent need for safe, non-toxic visual obscurants that can be rapidly dispersed in a battlefield or into a vehicle. These obscurants must block or disrupt all visual capability within their area of effect. The dispersion must be rapid and easy to implement by field personnel. Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) will develop a non-toxic obscurant and dispersion system c ...

Sensitive site exploitation activities are focused on collecting forensic evidence left behind by persons involved in terrorist or other illegal activity, and the biological evidence recovered is often referred to as"touch DNA samples". Touch samples include fingerprints, skin cells found on clothing (e.g. a shirt collar), and oral epithelial cells found on the opening of a soda can or the rim of ...

Triton Systems propose to integrate 3-D printing into the capabilities of the DLA medical supply chain. This proposed innovation includes development of our medical 3-D printing technology and the demonstration of its capability to print of a variety of life-saving suplies in the DLA medical supply chain such as medical equipment, human tissue, and medicine. Medical 3D printing will enable the DLA ...
