The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is seeking innovative component technologies that support improvements for manufacturing/performance and mass reduction for the Standard Missile 3 (SM3) Third Stage Rocket Motor (TSRM). To address this need, Valley Tech Systems (VTS) has developed a conceptual design of an advanced long duration extinguishment and re-ignition controllable solid propulsion TSRM Atti ...

The radiation environment around Earth hinders space electrical systems. Photons, protons, electrons, and heavy-ions freely traveling in space can cause devices to latch up, data bits to flip, and systems to fail (temporarily or permanently). Innoflight is looking to develop a new radiation tolerant technology while simultaneously creating, testing, and verifying schemes to harden existing commerc ...

Hypervelocity projectiles (HVPs) offer the potential for highly effective and low-cost point defense against missile threats. Classical guidance schemes are ill-suited to the unpowered dynamics of the HVP, as they fail to account for its changing capabilities and limited energy budget over the course of the fly-out. Numerica’s solution consists of an automated real-time fly-out trajectory optimi ...

Future interceptors would benefit from advanced propulsion capabilities, with higher performance in smaller, volume-constrained systems. Innovative propellant chemistry is needed to enable substantially greater performance in smaller packages. One factor limiting the maximum performance achievable in modern solid propellants is the slow ignition and combustion of the propellant’s metal fuel part ...

In this program, Freedom Photonics will develop a novel, 3-axis, low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) gyroscope suitable for missile defense applications. The approach is based on novel, high-performance sensing technology. Approved for Public Release 19-MDA-10203 (4 Sep 19)

ASRC Federal Astronautics, LLC (AFA) is pleased to present this Phase II proposal, which is focused upon the continued development of a selectively laser melted (SLM) high strength, low weight kick motor case that features an integral stage adapter. Our innovation enjoys reduced costs, shorter manufacturing lead times and the potential for incorporating a topologically-optimized, lighter-weight st ...

Care for the wounded Warfighters in austere and remote settings makes medical knowledge, skills and efficiency of the military medical professional paramount. For wounds that extend deep into internal anatomy, proper visualization of internal anatomy can

We propose development of an AR system that allows the medical personnel to visualize the internal anatomy of a patient by projecting relevant anatomical information onto the patient directly into the field of view (FOV) of the medic. With no medical imag

The purpose of the MEDIC (Medic’s Enhanced Diagnostic Imaging Companion) system is to provide combat medics, via Augmented Reality (AR), a digitally-superimposed avatar representing the internal anatomy of their Warfighter patient. Phase I of this SBIR p

The goal of medical simulation-based training such as high-fidelity manikin simulators, part task trainers, and screen-based virtual patients, is to approximate real-life treatment experiences without risk to live patients. While the use of sensors has ma
