The objective of this efforts is to introduce new, improved knit technology to provide more comfortable knitwear for the Sailor by improving fit, increasing air permeability, wicking away moisture, reducing seams and chafing, reducing bulk, and providing the potential for increased protection (Flame Resistant (FR) and No Melt/No Drip) while reducing waste and saving time and money for the Governme ...

Response Technologies (RT) intends to build upon its Phase I SBIR success, discussed in section 1.3 Related Work, by developing and demonstrating prototype fuel tank explosion suppression (FTES) materials capable of meeting MIL-PRF-87260B suppression capabilities, tear resistance, fuel and hydrolytic stability, and flammability requirements. When compared to the existing explosion suppression foam ...

The objectives of this Phase II study are to develop a complete end-to-end capability for the operational hazard assessment modeling within limnological systems for all of CONUS and to develop preliminary techniques to determine limnological water quality parameters of OCONUS systems, allowing for the eventual hazard assessment modeling in denied or restricted regions. Achieving these objectives w ...

The primary objective of this contract is to qualify the four H-53K fuel cells using the Response Technologies’ process. The four H-53K fuel cells are 1) Fuel Cell, RH, Aft, 2) Fuel Cell, LH, Aft, Fuel Cell, RH, Fwd, and Fuel Cell, LH, Fwd.

Expanding constellations of earth observation satellites are drastically increasing the availability of satellite imagery to the US government, providing timely, detailed, and readily available intelligence for mission planning and situational awareness on a global scale. Under the DARPA funded SBIR Phase 2 GEOMETRIX program, VSI developed an innovative ecosystem to distill and reconcile commercia ...

ROM Development Corporation (ROM) is proposing a light, corrosion-proof, seaworthy, all-composite 8 meter (26 foot) autonomously controlled catamaran for the next generation Small High-Speed Amphibious Role-Variant Craft (SHARC).  This amphibious vessel an ideal design for meeting the speed, payload, and sea state requirements for Expeditionary Advanced Basing Operations (EABO) and Littoral Opera ...

The US Navy has a need for the repair of structural systems on the aging Ohio class submarines and Nimitz class carriers. Cold spray technology offers the opportunity to perform repairs at low temperature, therefore avoiding sensitization of the base materials and resulting in a more corrosion resistant repair. VRC Metal Systems proposes the development of a powder material and a structural repair ...

Development of new lead-free replacements for lead styphnate and lead azide-based munition formulations made necessary to re-examine possible compatibility problems with current and future materials used for selecting adequate ammunition housings. Moreover, the compatibility/corrosion problems could be inherently associated with processing technology and therefore this aspect should be addressed b ...

Detecting counterfeit electronics is an important area of rising concern for DOD, other federal agencies and the private sector. The advent of cloned chips has called for development of new inspection tools that are capable of inspecting microelectronics down to the nanometer length scale. The state-of-the-art technology in Microscopy currently lacks a one-size-fits-all microelectronics inspection ...

The Navy has identified a need for improvements to autonomous behavior of Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV), specifically in the Focus Area of classification of encountered surface and subsurface vessels. System Engineering Associates Corporation (SEA CORP) proposes a tailored application of the latest developments in Electronic Warfare (EW) system design to me ...
