Reducing the violence of Slow Cook-Off (SCO) and Fast Cook-Off (FCO) to acceptable levels is of great interest to the Insensitive Munitions development. For example, the MIL-STD-2105C SCO test for Insensitive Munitions (IM) compliance requires a slow heating rate (3.3°C/hr) until reaction occurs whereby the ensuing reaction is characterized by degree of violence. A Type V (burn) reaction or bette ...

The proposed Phase II.5 ViPER USMC large mission planning mission planning expansion effort seeks to add capabilities to ViPER-CVW that will provide an initial large force air planning capability to USMC aviation planners. Development will focus on providing route and airspace deconfliction tools which link airspace, flight routing, and planned aircraft movements, as well as automated checks to en ...

Triton Systems is working to expand the materials available for additive manufacturing. We will address shipboard FST concerns by incorporating unique flame retardants into the feedstock of standard additive manufacturing tools. We propose to reformulate polymeric materials to meet the FST requirements, while ensuring that the resultant polymers meet the physical/mechanical requirements for applic ...

This project addresses the issue of characterizing current and future Coastal Battlefield Reconnaissance and Analysis passive sensors and their impact on system performance. COBRA currently utilizes a passive, multi-spectral imaging sensor and is investigating other sensors for future Block I and Block II systems. There is a need for evaluating and comparing the performance of these sensors to fac ...

Perhaps the most critical task facing a naval fixed-wing aviator each day is to safely land his or her aircraft on the deck of an aircraft carrier underway that is also responding to sea state. Confounding this already difficult task is a degraded visual environment in which key guidance cues may no longer be present. The Navy continually develops new technologies designed to ease pilot workload a ...

In this Phase II SBIR effort, HJ Science & Technology will develop and build an integrated and fully automated “lab-on-a-chip” (LOC) sensor capable of autonomous and in-situ high sensitivity and precision measurement of oceanographic chemical parameters. Our innovation stems from our patent pending valve-less fluidic switching technology that we have developed for a myriad of microfluidic auto ...

BlueRISC’s proposed solution provides a generic binary-level toolkit for inserting new functionality into embedded system executables/firmware. It performs this without making any assumptions as to the level of information (i.e. symbolic information) contained in the binary image. The solution will take the form of a toolkit with automated support for binary image disambiguation, code reverse en ...

Based on the findings of previous research, the proposed effort aims to develop an open architecture that integrates multiple sources of location information with multiple device management and data protection mechanisms enables precision, real-time access to data. The integrated architecture will combine capabilities resident in the Mobile Device (and operating system), Mobile Device Management ( ...

NAVAIR aircraft and ground support equipment typically require restoration of structure and components damaged by corrosion, wear, and other surface defects. These aircraft structure and components are typically manufactured from aluminum substrates, as well as other alloys like magnesium, titanium, and low alloy, PH and CRES steels. Current repair techniques inspect, clean, and then apply Corrosi ...

This SBIR Phase II.5 program is aimed at reducing the vulnerability and enhancing the survivability of multiple aircraft platforms with specific interest in detecting second layer corrosion/material loss and second layer fatigue cracking in relatively thin structures. Large area scanning of metallic structure for fatigue crack detection in first and second layers is of general interest, including ...
