The SBIR Phase I proposal is designed to improve the high end temperature performance of Altairnano''''s nano Lithium titanate batteries and will develop an equivalent circuit model capturing the transient dynamics of Altairnano’s 50 Ah cell. Altairnano will study the effects of various materials and the interactions between them to determine the best electrode material combination in order to e ...

Anholt Technologies proposes to develop a low cost replacement aircraft Idoor. Preliminary analysis indicates Anholt Technologies' design, using Cpultruded stiffeners, flat panels and advanced adhesion techniques Jpossesses the required structural strength at a significantly reduced end Iitem cost. Anholt Technologies proposes to design, fabricate and test a Frepresentative stiffened structu ...

Bonn Corporation (BONN) has chosen to concentrate on researching a methodology that computes target movement prediction in real-time based on data fusion, data correlation, and learning algorithms, with the inhernt capability to accomodate user-definable inputs. BONN Will determine the required static (e.g., operational limitations and capabilities) and dynamic (e.g., weather and orders of ba ...

BONN has chosen to concentrate on an innovative concept that will lead to the design and development of a single, integrated flight performance model for various aircraft platforms. This flight performance model, to be known as the Common Flight Performance System CFLIPS), also features an easy-to-use interface that will enable TAMPS Mission Planning Module (MPM) developers to quickly and eas ...

Recent advances in technology have exposed enough computing power in easily available hardware that geometry synthesis algorithms that we were previously prohibitively compute-intensive are now a possibility. There is significant untapped potential in this area that has gone underutilized in existing simulation systems. Increasing the realism and accuracy of synthetic environments has become a pri ...

Recent efforts at improving shipboard operations have focused on desalination systems. One area in which manpower may be significantly reduced is in the monitoring chlorine residuals from hypochlorite enhanced streams that are used for periodic biofouling control flushes of microfiltration membranes. These are used for pretreatment of seawater prior to exposure to reverse osmosis membranes used fo ...

K2 Energy Solutions, Inc. will address the Navy’s energy storage requirements by designing and fabricating a modular battery system similar to those the company has already developed for high performance electric vehicles. K2 develops and manufactures advanced lithium-ion energy storage systems based on intrinsically safe and inexpensive lithium iron phosphate cathode materials.

This SBIR Phase I project will develop and innovative sandwich composite material used to manufacture component parts and/or the hull for an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) to reduce the weight and increase operational effectiveness. The composite structure includes an inner layer of high tenacity polyarylate LCP long fiber reinforced ionomer. The reinforced resin is extrusion molded directly into ...

Gear tooth surface fatigue (pitting) is common precursor failure mode that leads to excessive gear vibration, liberation of debris particles that damage ancillary components (e.g. bearings), and serves as crack initiation sites that lead to eventual catastrophic tooth failure. Current gearbox life estimation techniques commonly underplay the significance of gear tooth surface fatigue due to the co ...
