Security at transportation checkpoints is a key strategic aspect of the DHS mission of preventing future attacks against the U.S. and its allies. The ability to freely move assets within, into, and out of the nation is paramount to national security. While DHS currently employs highly-effective explosive alarm resolution sensors (AR), these sensors require special training to operate and produce a ...

The national imperative to field hypersonic weapon systems has increased the demand for robust, lightweight, and affordable high temperature materials for thermal protection systems.  Refractory composites such as carbon-carbon (C/C) or carbon/SiC (C/SiC) offer enormous promise, but wider-scale acceptance continues to be hindered by certain technical and affordability limitations.  Key among the ...

Industrial control system (ICS) operational technology (OT) systems enable increased process efficiency and cost savings.  At the same time, they allow for increasingly complex cyber-attacks with devastating physical impacts.  The ATC-NY team will design and build CYRIN-OT, a system for creating virtual “digital twins” of OT networks and performing security assessments on them.  Any diverge ...

GVSC Sustainment Engineering has requested information for a project to replace Lamp, Halogen 12360840-1 due to stock issues. MWV has met with the team and understand the request. Based upon initial concept discussions, MWV has the ability to design and supply a replacement solution. This will include removing existing Lens, Lamp, Reflector and all hardware needed for these items. MWV will then re ...

This Phase II project seeks to develop a method for the recycling of rare earth zirconate thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). Thermal barrier coatings are crucial to the function and performance of military aircraft engines, as they influence the operating temperatures and environments for the aircrafts. There are currently two main types of established thermal barrier coating materials, yttria-stabi ...

Solid-state batteries promise energy densities well beyond that of current Li-ion batteries while providing additional safety through the elimination of the flammable liquid electrolyte. Of the solid-electrolytes currently under development, Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) is attractive due to its inherent stability versus Li metal. One drawback for LLZO and any oxide electrolyte is the high temperatures requ ...

DLA has a desire to expand and increase the number of small manufacturers to address DOD demands and grow the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).  More qualified sources of supply are needed to improve DLA product availability, provide competition to reduce cost and lead time, address lifecycle performance issues, and potentially improve upon the current part design.  Working collaboratively, AMS a W ...

MagWerks Vision Inc. will perform a feasibility study for their vehicular lighting system as it applies to the B-52H bomber aircraft.  Through this phase I effort, MWV aims help the Air Force achieve its goal of “resiliency and redundancy” by designing, testing, and validating its lighting solution for application to Air Force aircrafts, specifically the B-52H (af.mil). The expectation is th ...

ACP Technologies, LLC (ACP) proposes to support DLA efforts by leveraging ACP-patented processes to develop an improved production process for mesophase pitch and carbon-carbon composites that is more efficient, costs less, and produces a superior product. ACP is an innovator of advanced manufacturing technologies that create optimized, lower-cost, lighter-weight, domestically-produced carbon mate ...

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) constitute some of the most important advanced materials utilized in military aircraft applications. The elevated operating temperatures, enhanced abilities to resist adverse environmental conditions, and increased fuel efficiencies of modern aircraft engines are all related to improvements in thermal barrier coatings. These improvements in TBC behavior and performa ...
