The main objectives of this SBIR Phase II are to further enhance aspects of the previous STTR Phase II technology of the Installation Support Subsystem (ISS) development and to facilitate an accelerated transition to a fully realized Fleet capability.

After 12 years in active conflicts, the U.S. army is facing unprecedented challenges in maintaining the readiness and resilience of its soldiers. To address these challenges, the U.S. Army has created a Readiness and Resilience Campaign and defined the Performance Triad. we propose to augment this approach by creating and providing tools, in the form of mobile apps, for monitoring and providing fe ...

Within the military, the proliferation of batteries required by the dismounted warfighter continues to be troublesome, both from the standpoint of weight and the need for replacement. Energy-harvesting technologies, which collect energy from naturally occurring motions, offer the possibility of reducing this concern. At the same time, the military has long sought the ability to continuously collec ...

ABSTRACT: Oceanit will develop a software platform capable of integrating information collected over repeated experiments and from disparate sensors to facilitate the measurement of the physiological response of ocular-tissue to damaging levels of light. BENEFIT: Beyond the study of changes in physiological function of the retina resulting from light induced damage, this technology will have wi ...

This project addresses the need for a compact, light-weight water treatment system for use on Navy vessels that operate primarily in littoral waters. A modular and intelligent system design will be developed, featuring a novel second-stage disinfection module. The approach eliminates the need to carry expensive and hazardous chemicals on board, making use of low-temperature plasma chemistry to syn ...

Oceanit will develop and demonstrate the feasibility of a system that will allow Marines to dry boots (and potentially other clothing items) overnight without the need for a power supply. Oceanit will demonstrate a prototype system design; manufacture and test the drying system in a combat type environment; provide test system prototypes of a proof of concept; prepare a detailed cost and manufactu ...

ABSTRACT: Oceanit will create a disruptive, fundamentally-new military navigation architecture to provide game-changing advantages for U.S. forces. BENEFIT: A navigation system that that has the flexibility to incorporate military GPS information (PRS, M Code), but should not rely on them, and be capable of operating when they are not available.

ABSTRACT: The proposed research effort is focused on developing a super hydrophobic ice-phobic coating technology that will minimize ice formation on aluminum heat exchangers/condensers. In Phase I, Oceanit will focus on developing the proposed materials, demonstrate ice repellent properties, and identify routes for scale up through a manufacturing partner. BENEFIT: The successful development o ...

The proposed effort will address the problem of deploying and retrieving a tow body in rough wave conditions from a small craft or large ship. The approach makes use of a material newly available to the U.S. Department of Defense. The material is drop stitch fabric, whose use was restricted by the Berry amendment. The concept for this project is to make a structure to deploy and retrieve tow bodie ...

Tissue Genesis (TGI) is proposing to develop a highly portable, easy to use, low-cost, point-of-care, adipose-derived stem cell (ASC) isolation device that fully integrates the process from fat extraction to cell product. This next generation system addresses current technology limitations including: sterility breaks, acquisition and process time, complexity of operation, and cost. The convenient ...
