In this program, Micro-Precision Technologies (MPT) will become an Approved Source for National Stock Number (NSN) 5985-01-054-5861, a directional coupler. This effort results from the request of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to improve product availability and increase competition for those NSN parts for the Nuclear Enterprise Support Office (NESO) where sources of supply are scarce. MPT wil ...

In this program, Micro-Precision Technologies (MPT) will become an Approved Source for National Stock Number (NSN) 5985-01-060-0244, a diode assembly. This effort results from the request of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to improve product availability and increase competition for those NSN parts for the Nuclear Enterprise Support Office (NESO) where sources of supply are scarce. MPT will rev ...

We will employ the very latest methods in nanotechnology to realize vastly improved CO2 scrubbing efficiency in closed cycle underwater breathing apparatuse(UBA). Our system will occupy minimal volume, will be simple in design and will employ benign nano-particles as the CO2 active scrubbing material. Due to the design, CO2 uptake will be maximized and breathing flow resistance will kept at a mi ...

We propose to provide essential protection from lacerations, punctures and abrasion for SOCOM’s free swimming diver force using a multi-layer laminate. The key technology will employs a novel stretch-pleat design with a proven puncture and cut resistant fabric that will allow a lower diving mass ensemble with a focus on mobility. The core puncture and cut layer is based on a lightweight punctur ...

High performance metals, ceramics, and hard coatings are used in military applications to enhance the performance of key systems needed by the warfighter. One of the most prevalent operations to remove material, achieve the desired surface finish, or enhance part quality is bulk and finish grinding. For typical cutting speeds, conventional synthetic or oil-based coolants are sufficient to remove ...

Mentis Sciences Inc. (Mentis) proposes to develop a refurbishment program that is capable of disassembling, inspecting, and re-building complex systems and components, with the initial system of focus being the Minuteman Missile Antenna/Antenna Pedestal Assembly.To become a refurbishment supplier, Mentis will develop and adapt inhouse processes for performing refurbishment services by leveraging c ...

The Department of Defense (DoD) has a demand for out-of-production parts to maintain mission readiness of various weapons platforms. Additive manufacturing (AM) is an exciting and promising manufacturing technique that can make out-of-production parts and holds the potential to solve supply chain issues, such as high costs (i.e. for low-volume parts) and sole sourcing risks. The ability of AM to s ...

High-purity germanium (Ge) is manufactured into infrared (IR) lenses for most DoD night sight IR optics, thermal imaging systems, and IR tracking systems in combat vehicles. A recent report by Umicore (ADA’s partner for this proposed project) identifies several current and future needs for Ge, showing growing needs in the middle of severe shortfall. These applications are essential for tracking ...

A need exists for a new environmental situational awareness sensor with multi-spectrum camouflage that is extremely small (90g) and capable of measuring with aviation-grade accuracy: wind speed/direction, horizontal visibility, sky condition, cloud heights, temperature, dewpoint, barometric pressure, precipitation and CBRN contamination. There exists a strong desire to support a variety of commun ...

ABOM has developed a novel active anti-fog technology platform that has solved the problem of eyewear fogging. These fog-free and ballistics-rated polycarbonate lenses provide the individual soldier with sustained distant visual acuity and improved situational awareness. Under this proposed SBIR Phase I project, ABOM will perform evaluation and feasibility studies for four proposed Military Combat ...
