Advanced Transparent Armor Materials and Manufacturing Methods
SBC: SURMET CORP Topic: SOCOM14002"Current glass-based transparent armor has two major deficiencies: 1) It is very heavy, and therefore can compromise performance and helicopter transportability of vehicles; and 2) It is very thick, and therefore can compromise visual signature of vehicles. Advanced technology ceramic transparent armor removes both these deficiencies and provides a twofold improvement in performance, but costs 6-1 ...

Affordable Spinel Transparent Armor
SBC: ATS-MER, LLC Topic: SOCOM14002Transparent armor is very important to the survivability and situational awareness for the crews of modern land, marine or aviation vehicles. Additionally to the common armor requirements (low areal density and high ballistic performance) transparent armor should provide high infrared and visual transmittance. Ceramic ballistic windows meet these requirements, but they often suffer from unaffordab ...

Low Profile Closed Coolant System for High Speed Combatant Craft
SBC: TIAX LLC Topic: SOCOM14005High speed combatant craft utilized by SOCOM, such as the Riverine (SOC-R), use pumped raw water to provide engine cooling for the twin marine diesel engines. While raw water provides an essentially limitless heat sink, it often contains debris which can clog engine strainers, causing the engines to overheat. Thus, engine performance, as well as maintenance, is negatively affected by the use of th ...

Non-Toxic Obscurants and Dispersal System
SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC. Topic: SOCOM06007SOCOM 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 ...

Low Cost and Rapid DNA-Based Biometric Device
SBC: NetBio, Inc. Topic: HSB091001Sensitive 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 ...

Enhanced Visual Obscurant and Rapid Dispersal System
SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC. Topic: SOCOM06007Physical Sciences Inc (PSI) proposes to develop non-toxic obscurants based on the use of particle size engineering to optimize their extinction cross sections in the infrared region and the possible incorporation of wavelength selective absorbers into non-toxic FDA-approved host materials. The obscurant materials will be able to block all wavelengths from the visible to the thermal infrared (0.4 ...
