The U.S. Army has identified a need for improved soldier and device mobility. To address these needs, ADA Technologies Inc. (ADA) will develop and commercialize our high energy density, long cycle life and safe lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery technology. Our solution is based on proven material design strategies that will improve cell constituent stability via the use of atomic level coatings on the ...

Oceanit proposes to develop a Sparse Information Processing Refinery (SIPR) targeted to the sustainment of aviation platforms, which is a graphical environment for managing and extracting information from aviation data.Unlike most existing platforms, SIPR is designed for the case where data are sparse and/or difficult to obtain.To make the most of a limited data set, SIPR leverages recent advances ...

Silicon Technologies will design and simulate in Verilog-AMS and Cadence Spectre an ADC, two DACs, a serial interface and other circuits to be built on a single chip in a ITAR complaint manufacturing process.The ARMY is interested in this development for use in a SWAP-C ASIC for next generation fuse proximity sensors and other programs.STI proposes to use an existing pipelined ADC that has been bu ...

In order to address the improvised threat to U.S. Forces created by enemy drones, IMSAR proposes to use its Commercial, Off-The-Shelf (COTS) NSP-3 Ku-band radar as the foundation for a system architecture capable of detecting, tracking, and neutralizing enemy drones. With low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) requirements, the NSP-3 can provide high capabilities to even small Unmanned Aircraft System ...

The loadout that a deployed soldier carries is between 97-135 lbs, approximately 5lbs of which are inert brass. This weight not only reduces the soldiers responsiveness during battle but can increase fatigue.Much time and money has been spent on reducing ammunition weight by replacing heavy brass casings with steel or polymers. While these show promise, a combustible cartridge case will not only r ...

The MK3A2 offensive hand grenade has been out of commission since 1975, leaving warfighters with stun (flash) and fragmentation grenades, which do not have the level of lethality for incapacitating enemy combatants. Efforts have been in the forefront to develop an optimized replacement. The objective of the Topic A181-077 SBIR program is to develop a novel and innovative technology that produces d ...

Hand grenades require highly legible, long-lived identification markings that are resistant to wear and field chemicals. Creating such markings on grenades is challenging, especially when their surfaces are rounded and made of chemically resistant plastics. Creare proposes to develop an additive marking process capable of producing robust color markings on curved plastic surfaces with high resolut ...

We propose advancing our proven Wireless Blast Gauge System to extend the BOP range to capture impulse noise. Ultimately, the Blast Gauge System will be integrated with the weapons DFCS to automatically provide data to the crew chief and platoon / battery leadership to support informed decisions during live fire training and combat missions.

Mainstream proposes developing a blast overpressure omnidirectional measurement (BOOM) device that detects, records, and transmits captured data for blast events experienced by individual personnel. The BOOM device is composed of a microcontroller that collects, stores, and transmits data collected from several miniature pressure transducers placed on personnel. The sensors enable capture of the p ...

Gun barrels are subjected to wear and erosion from the hot propellant gases and high loads from the passage of projectiles.Sustained fire duration and rate of fire are largely limited by barrel thermal considerations, since the heat buildup in the barrel can cause rounds to fire prematurely (cook-off) or weaken the barrel and cause catastrophic failure. A cost effective solution of using a wear re ...
