Award Data

Thin-ply prepregs offer significant improvements in weight reduction, stiffness and overall mechanical properties over traditional composite laminates. nbsp;Thin plies (lt;0.05 mm/layer) suppress or delay crack initiation in loaded composite structures thereby allowing for manufacturing of lighter, stiffer and more durable composite products. Recent thin-ply prepreg materials, consisting of toughe ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer Project is aimed at developing and testing an ADS-B transponder in a fully integrated single chip using Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) process. Thisnbsp; transponder is capable of operating both in 978 MHz UAT and 1090 ES modes. This chip-based micro ADS-B unit is aimed at the owners and operators of prosumer and industrial unmanned air vehic ...

Linear regulators are widely used for providing stable voltage supplies. When a regulator provides a voltage signal to a capacitive device, the quiescent current can be designed in submicron amperes. This low quiescent current attribute will be employed to build low power high-voltage amplifiers and applied for developing two application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) in this proposal. Each ...

NASA requests a high spatial-resolution, wide-area scan of lunar soil composition, especially within impact craters, that may contain a higher concentration of usable material such as 3He and H2O. Soil with a higher hydrogen content will tend to slow down (i.e., thermalize) neutrons rather than absorb them, thereby depressing the fast and epithermal components of the neutron energy distribution wh ...

Soil moisture is an important parameter for AF weather measurements and forecasting. It impacts Army operations (off-road mobility, land operations) and Intelligence Community’s knowledge (agriculture: social unrest). AF has classified soil moisture measurements and data as a DoD space-based environmental monitoring gap. If unmitigated, the lack of soil moisture data will diminish our asymm ...

Fairmount Technologies (FT) has developed and validated Stretch Roll Forming, a tool-free technology for CNC curving of extrusions to programmed contours. Parts can be formed directly in the –T temper, without heat treatment. SRF is currently being used to form commercial parts and spare parts for DLA. Tooling and heat treatment avoidance position SRF to play a vital role in organic manufac ...

Thermoplastic composites materials have shown potential to surpass the properties of aerospace thermoset composites for many years. However, the rigid material form, high processing temperatures and high cost have rendered them impractical for most warfighter applications. Recent advances in lower-cost automation, improved material processability / cost and precision heating systems have demonstra ...

Pre-packaged, turn-key solution for power using automated solar, wind, battery back-up, small high efficiency generator, internal fuel tank, communications capable with end user space enclosed in hurricane proof container. This solution is perfect for the military, telecom, disaster relief, greenfield construction, resource extraction, health systems, data center and anywhere there is a need for r ...

NextGen Federal Systems is proposing a system that addresses one of key problems for human-machine teams as they operate under conditions where communications links can be periodically lost or jammed. One of the primary challenges is that flight crews have to quickly assimilate all of the changes and events that have occurred to the unmanned platform during the outage in order to re-establish a sh ...
