Future interceptors would benefit from advanced propulsion capabilities, with higher performance in smaller, volume-constrained systems. Innovative propellant chemistry is needed to enable substantially greater performance in smaller packages. One factor limiting the maximum performance achievable in modern solid propellants is the slow ignition and combustion of the propellant’s metal fuel part ...

Rigid Wall Shelters (RWS) are an integral building block for Marine Corp operations and support a multitude of operational needs from maintenance and repair operations to command posts and medical operations. There are several critical operational deficiencies with metal RWS. The weight of legacy systems and lack of insulation result in a high cost to transport and difficulty heating and cooling i ...

The Re-Designed Lightweight Gearbox

The objective of the efforts being proposed is to develop high energy density and power density batteries with long cycle life by high-speed additive manufacturing technologies.

The objective is to develop and test a functional prototype of a 3D Dome radar with full hemispherical coverage (0-90 degrees vertical and 360 degree horizontal). This prototype shall have an update rate of 1 Hz, a tracking range of 2 km that weighs less than 12 kg and an estimated cost of close to $150,000. SpotterRF shall test the 3D radar to determine its tracking range against a DJI Phantom 4 ...

This SBIR delivers two optical ground stations, based on commercial design, to support experimentation and laser communication with AFRL spacecraft.  These assets facilitate research in flexible space operations, secure low probability of intercept (LPI) communications, and management of shared resources with disparate commercial networks.  The standards based design supports day and night opera ...

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking small businesses capable of manufacturing and supplying an assortment of replacement components for the F107 turbofan engine. The F107 is most commonly used as the propulsion system for cruise missiles. Given the F107’s primary use, maintaining a supply chain capable of keeping the engine in operation is paramount. DLA has stated that the F107 engine ...

Size is less than 8 cu inches and weight is under 6 oz with full AIMS 17-1000 compliance, including 500 watt output with diversity. Unit is also low cost and low maintenance. Unit meets full military temperat ...

We propose to develop an implantable Athena device to enable translation of neuroscience research from the lab to real-world environments. Ripple's Athena will include multichannel stimulation and recording, far-field telemetry, intraoperative connectors, and an implantable battery. We will complete development of Athena is this Phase II SBIR with final pre-clinical qualification testing to suppor ...

Phase I has proven that the current setup achieves better than 8mm spatial resolution for 2.2MeV prompt gammas. However, 1mm spatial resolution presents a significant challenge for the current setup due in part to limited timing resolution and count rate. A new analog ASIC will be developed to replace the current analog ASIC that will have better timing resolution and deliver higher count rates. I ...
