Precision Heated Tooling for OOA Curing of Thin-Ply Composites
SBC: TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY LTD (INC) Topic: T12Thin-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 ...

Commercial Solutions for Weather Forecasting
SBC: Nextgen Federal Systems LLC Topic: AF182001Soil 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 ...

Situation Awareness Repair System (SARS)
SBC: Nextgen Federal Systems LLC Topic: AF19AT001NextGen 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 ...

Biometric Enhancement of Army Standard Force Protection Sensors
SBC: AZIMUTH INC Topic: A18127This proposal is aiming to cover the capability gap in the following two main areas. These are (1) the sensitive site exploitation (i.e. screening of biometrics and identity intelligence at the point of capture) and (2) the exploitation of existing traditional and non-traditional sensors, namely using close, i.e. up to 30 feet, long, i.e. 30-1000 feet, and extreme range, i.e. 1000 feet plus, day a ...

Silicon Carbide (SiC) Foam for Molten Salt Containment in CSP-Gen3 Systems
SBC: TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY LTD (INC) Topic: 18cCoal is recognized as a primary energy resource used in the production of electricity and heat. Furthermore, coal is a very versatile commodity used in industrial processes such as refining metals and refined into coal tar, phenol, creosote oil, naphthalene and other chemicals. The objective in this research is to develop a silicon carbide foam, produced from domestic coal that has an open pore st ...
