Aurora Flight Sciences and Protonex Technology Corporation propose a research effort into a Combined Airframe and Power system for Extended Range (or"CAPER") power system for air-launched Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS). The CAPER system is unique in that a fuel cell system and a SUAS will be designed together as a system, allowing design optimization to occur across the entire system. Th ...

The objective of this proposal is to analyze existing patent-pending nonpneumatic tires ("NPTs") to determine which designs and materials are best scalable across the full suite of the Family of Special Operations Vehicles Program. Resilient Technologies has produced functional NPT prototypes for Light Transportable All-Terrain Vehicles, and will apply the knowledge developed during the ATV NPT d ...

The objective of this Phase I SBIR program is to develop and qualify next generation antiballistic airless tires that provide high speed off-road performance for Special Operations vehicles. The proposed tire technology will provide non-pneumatic antiballistic tires with terrain durability and ballistic resilience through the integration of NanoSonic"s HybridSil armor technology. This pioneerin ...

An innovative solution that improves procurement process for rapid software development that is enabled by an innovative software technology consisting of either vendor hosted SaaS solutions, the government hosted COTS or custom solution in the AWS cloud, or a combination of both. The technology supports reverse auction, crowdsourcing and/or other procurement methods. The end product will be deplo ...

RAISERapid Acquisition of Innovative Software Solutions with External Expertsenvisions a combination of software and services that enables SOCOM and the Federal community in general, to rapidly, securely procure global talent with competitive reverse auctions and other FAR compliant approaches. The proposed Phase I feasibility study will analyze the IT Governance processes required within SOCOM to ...

Imagen Energy, LLC, an innovative company which focuses on next generation SiC based power converter system, is teaming up with Wolfspeed, a division of Cree, the leading SiC power module manufacturer in the U.S, and Velicon Inc., a high speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) supplier for special high end applications to resolve a real application issue that exists in the High Speed PMS ...

"The SENSOR FOA clearly identifies a need for people counting in commercial spaces to efficiently allocate HVAC energy, potentially saving 30% in annual energy costs. Scanalytics proposes a materially different, categorically superior floor sensing technology coupled with a device-agnostic platform and real-time processing algorithms to accurately measure occupancy within a space a space such as ...

Through previous grant awards from IES, researchers developed Graspable Math, a tablet-based intervention where middle and high school students create and manipulate complex expressions for basic operations as well as equations and equations systems and inequalities. In this project, the team will develop a prototype of Graspable Math Activities, an app with novel kinds of algebra practice and ass ...

In this project, the team will develop a prototype of GoWrite, a platform designed for students with moderate to severe disabilities to guide instruction in writing. The cross-curricular intervention will have four modes including instruction, writing about academic content, journaling, and social media. At the end of Phase I, in a pilot study with 30 students (10 each in grade school, middle scho ...
