During the Phase I SBIR effort, NanoSonic designed, tested, and empirically optimized a two-part epoxy polyamide primer that will meet the performance requirements and distribution goals for NSN: 8010-01-266-6576 Part Name: Epoxy Primer Coating DLA Supply Chain: C&E Weapon System: B-2 Part Description: MILSPEC Part Number M85582-2-C2-0001P. To meet this challenge, NanoSonic implemented a rigorous ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) has rapidly evolved into a valuable technique for making parts which, at times, cannot be fabricated through conventional machining methods, or for fabrication of small quantities of complex parts. One challenge in the area of AM is the lack of real-time feedback on the fabrication process and the quality of the part being made. This is especially critical given the rel ...

The skin is the first line of defense against chemical warfare agents including nerve agents and toxic industrial chemicals, providing a possible barrier or delay to systemic distribution. Some chemicals also can act directly on the skin including the vesicants sulfur mustard and lewisite. Early and rapid skin decontamination is extremely important following exposure to CWAs and TICs because it de ...

Luna Innovations is addressing the need to develop novel fluid repellent textile treatments for military uniforms that will repel and actively decontaminate chemical and biological warfare agents (CBWA). There have been recent significant advances in textile treatments that have demonstrated water, oil and chemical agent resistance that are superior to Quarpel repellent treatments currently used o ...

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) seeks improved product availability through increased competition for certain in particular for National Stock Numbers (NSN) with an annual demand of > $10,000 and fewer than two manufacturers.During Phase I, NanoSonic identified a need to investigate materials technology for improved canopy seal designs per DLA's sourcing goals. Current inflatable seals used in ...

The TAF Mobile Office provides DLA the functionality and comfort of an office without the burden of capital expenditures, training, and maintenance associated with custom fleet vehicles. The TAF Mobile Office is light enough to be lifted by one person and safely installs in the vehicle in under one minute. It allows DLA Disposition Services mobile workers to continue the use of GSA fleet vehicles ...

The goal of the proposed Phase II DLA SBIR program is to demonstrate the reliable production of Nuclear Enterprise Rubber Industrial Gloves to become an approved source for unrestricted purchases from DLA Troop Support. NanoSonic's robotic electrostatic self-assembly (ESA) process is amenable to the repeatable production of high quality, pit and void-free rubber gloves due to the inherent control ...
