Military operations have an ever increasing demand for battery power sources in a wide variety of applications, from sensors, communications and powering soldiers, to high-power weapons and vehicle applications. However, state of the art batteries cannot meet the requirements of next generation military equipment. Lead acid batteries, because of their low cost, safety and high level of recyclabili ...

In summary, increased energy storage to meet the initial Phase I requirements was demonstrated as readily achievable through several approaches. The approach that offers the greatest benefit in terms of providing additional energy and maximum design flexibility was the conformal/structural cells shaped as and replacing the wing elements. The cell becomes the entire wing element, which provides the ...

Current electrical and mechanical components for gun-fired munitions and projectiles are heavy, bulky, and not sufficiently resilient to withstand respected G-Force produced when the projectile is fired. Minimizing the environmental impact and keeping such munitions and projectiles out of enemy hands is another concern to the US Army. In this SBIR program Custom Electronics, Inc. (CEI) proposes to ...

Ballistic systems operate in flow regimes characterized by high speeds, temperatures and pressures, with reacting multiphase, multi-species fluids and fluid-structure interactions. Substantial progress has been made on methods to simulate the component physics. However, there are technical gaps remaining related to tracking the interacting physical components throughout a simulation. This project ...

Warfighters increasingly rely on mobile devices for voice communication, access to information, and execution of apps that aid them in their tasks. However, untrustworthy applications and risky online behaviors can compromise the mobile device. To be secure and useful, a device must be both multi-level secure and able to access secure services. Current mobile device management solutions cannot mee ...

IDI is proposing an electrically assisted e-bike system, designed to increase the usage of bicycles for daily commuting. This design is intended for usage alongside traditional bike share programs in cities across the country. The primary benefit is attract those otherwise unwilling to use bicycles to commute, either due to personal reservation or perceived terrain difficulties. This is accomplish ...

Applied Science Innovations proposes the integrated Automatic Panoramic Thermal Imaging Sensor (APTIS), an Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) for use the Future Combat Systems (FCS) network's core systems. Existing panoramic reflectors suffer from inherent aberrations, resulting in smaller effective apertures and larger optics. Phase I results have successfully demonstrated feasibility of the "Viper ...

Applied Visions, Inc. proposes to implement a flexible, extensible application program interface (API) to commercial game engines that will provide Military Commanders with high-quality, cost-effective, 3D visualization for use in current and emerging C2 applications. In Phase I we demonstrated the feasibility of the concept by developing a prototype API and using it to interface a commercial ga ...

BHTechnology proposes the continuing prototype development of a novel thermobaric blast pressure transducer. The pressure transducer uses a combination of selected materials such as Boron Nitride, Silicon Carbide and Aluminum Nitride, novel electronic detection techniques for both frequency and phase shift measurements, and pressure sensing devices using SAW devices and other pressure sensing tech ...

Black River Systems (with Dr. Tapan Sarkar of OHRN, and Stiefvater Consultants Inc.) proposes a hybrid electromagnetic modeling compute engine. This hybrid engine will model the small features of antenna/vehicle structure simultaneously with the large environmental features, executing on both parallel processor and single CPU computers. Traditional computational electromagnetic analysis is perfo ...
