The U.S. Army's Joint Air to Ground Missile (JAGM) and the Air Force Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) are two potential candidates for insertion of multi-mode seeker missiles technology. Surmet has recently demonstrated proof-of-principle multilayer missile domes for these seekers. But technical challenges remain in scaling the processes to manufacturing level. The amount of touch labor, reproducibility ...

The Joint Services is seeking a miniaturized, low cost sensor for detection and identification of CWAs and TICs. To meet this requirement Block MEMS has very successfully completed a Phase I effort to develop a widely tunable MEMS enhanced Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) spectrometer called LaserChemTM. LaserChemTM will have sensitivity in the parts per trillion, be under 1800 cm3 in size, have very l ...

The objective of the Phase II Program is the successful development and demonstration of an airborne Sensor that simultaneously generates passive millimeter wave images of the terrain in all four Stokes Parameters. The Imaging Sensor will be the Baseline Configuration designed in Phase I. The performance capabilities of the Imager will be demonstrated in an airborne helicopter test. The flight tes ...

In this Phase II SBIR Army Program, Physical Sciences Inc. will design, build, and test a novel high-gain, quasi-volumetric, directive antenna array comprising advanced single radiating elements that were demonstrated in Phase I. These single quasi-volumetric elements provide more directive pattern, greater bandwidth, and higher gain than conventional dipole antennas in less than half the linear ...

Triton Systems, Inc. proposes to optimize further the insecticide system developed in Phase I. In Phase I, we showed that our insecticide system performed better than a commercial residual spray after heat or UV exposure. Our insecticide system will remain effective for an extended period time after application, even under harsh environmental conditions, to control mosquitoes and sand flies. In ad ...

Triton Systems, Inc. proposes to design, fabricate and test to ISO specification a low-cost, “Smart” Intermodal Module (SIM) container system that will be capable of being tracked, traced, inventory capable, and chemical-biological (Chem-Bio) attack hardened and meet the Department of Defense critical logistical requirement by providing In-Transit Visibility in operational theaters. The unique ...

During Phase II period, Hstar plan to prototype an advanced mobile robotic nurse assistant (RoNA) system for augmenting nurses’ health care capabilities in a hospital environment with physical assistance. This RoNA system will: a) navigate intelligently in hospital environments with a mobile holonomic drive, b) support an intuitive interface guided by human-robot interaction and work safely and ...

A flameless personal water heater will be developed that is capable of heating small individual volumes of water for meal preparation, sanitation, or hygiene. The heater will react air and JP-8 in an enclosed flow path and transfer the heat generated to water. The device will be packaged into an immersion-style heater. The heater will come with a matching cup, but it will fit any generic insulate ...

Developing a multi-fuel capable burner with an electronic controls subsystem for Stirling engines and other technologies represents an opportunity offers useful flexibility for transitional power sources (400W to 2 kW). TIAX has developed and improved during the Phase I program a burner capable of burning gaseous fuels or liquid fuels to power a 500 W Stirling engine. During the Phase I, the bur ...

A world-record 250 Watt multicore fiber laser will be demonstrated with a single, diffraction-limited lobe both in the near field and in the far field. The coherent coupling of the independent cores will be achieved using a monolithic Self-Fourier (SF) cavity which will be directly fusion-spliced onto the output end of the multicore fiber. The phase locking of the multiple cores occurs natural ...
