Guild Associates, Inc. proposes to develop and evaluate an active electrochemical sensor based residual life indicator (RLI) for adsorptive carbon filters. The sensing system of the RLI will operate by analyzing the electrochemical state of the carbon within the filter and evaluate the remaining adsorptive reactive capacities of the filter. The sensor design will be challenged against an array of ...

As underwater threats continue to evolve, active sonar systems and operators must evolve with them, requiring improvements to sources, receivers, signal processing algorithms, and search mission planning applications in order to maintain and improve detection rates. Any improvements in the latter requires a detailed and accurate understanding of the acoustic underwater environment, and the underly ...

An intelligent information management system architectural concept is proposed for the current SBIR solicitation that is a mix of advanced data modeling, algorithms for situation assessment, intelligent information and user display management offers a practical, extensible, cost-effective, rapidly developed solution. The solution, called AIIMS, or “Adaptive Intelligent Information Management Sys ...

ASRC Federal Astronautics is pleased to present this proposal to demonstrate feasibility of a proportional thruster that is additively manufactured from a high temperature alloy and well-suited for use in a future Trident II D5 post boost control system upgrade. Our proportional valve design is based upon highly successful architectures originally developed by our Orbital ATK commercialization par ...

The materials used in Navy aircraft are prone to the harsh corrosive environment in which the aircraft operate. The corrosion protection of high performance bearing and gear steels without a decrease in mechanical and tribological properties is critical for Navy equipment readiness. Because of the insufficient corrosion resistance of current bearing and gear materials, the Navy developed corrosion ...

The Navy in support of the sailor has identified the need for an advanced ballistic shield for Crew Served Weapons Stations that will allow for a required level of ballistic protection without interfering with other shipboard duties that need to be performed. This proposed system will protect the sailor from the increased asymmetric threats that are faced on the high seas as well as during close s ...

Kinetic Resolve, Inc. (KR; Stillwater, MN), a service disabled veteran-owned small business, and The Protective Group (TPG; Miami Lakes, FL), a developer of lightweight armor solutions for the Department of Defense, have agreed to work together by forming Kinetic Protection (KP), a limited partnership, to rapidly develop and integrate a system of lightweight, reconfigurable and non-reconfigurable ...

The QED team’s design approach comprises a rapidly deployable breakwater, causeway and anchoring system. The study focuses on the systems integration of these elements with emphasis on delivery means and installation to meet the 48 hour readiness objective. This study builds on the QED team’s experience designing, fabricating, deploying and testing similar systems over the past fifteen years. ...

In this proposed Phase I Project, Powdermet will develop a low cost solution to contamination issues currently involved in spherical plain airframe bearings. The proposed solution will utilize an advanced low friction cermet. This material will be capable for application as a powder coating or consolidated and adhered inner cylinder for use as the bearing"s self-lubricating liner. The material wil ...
