This NASA sponsored STTR project will investigate methods for close-out of large, liquid rocket engine, nickel or stainless steel nozzle, coolant channels utilizing robotic laser and pulsed-arc additive manufacturing (AM)methods. Structural jacket to coolant channel land area interface strength will be quantified and metallurgical characterization completed.Process optimizations will be conducted ...

Technical Product Definition Information. In this activity we created a preliminary technical data package (TDP) at a Level 3 Production per MIL-STD-31000 definition. A TDP is a technical description of an item adequate for supporting an acquisition strategy, development, manufacturing development, production, engineering, and logistics throughout the item's lifecycle. The technical description de ...

This proposal introduces an approach from Brighton Cromwell to Improve product availability and increase competition through the development of Small Business eligible manufacturing utilizing the DLA’s Land and Maritime (L&M) Limited Source National Stock Number (NSN) List. The list contains NSNs with an Annual Demand Value (ADV) >$10K currently sourced with only 1-2 manufacturers. We are offeri ...

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 ...

This project will develop a new scientific instrument optimized for the advanced characterization of near-infrared fluorescent nanoparticles that can exist as left- or right-handed structures (enantiomers). Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are the leading current example of such nanomaterials. Applied NanoFluorescence, LLC (ANF) proposes a novel multi-mode chiroptical spectrometer that can ...

Made In Space, Inc. (MIS) proposes an Aulë Filament Inspection System (AFIS) to provide filament quality control capability for additive manufacturing (AM). AFIS enables the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to confidently support AM efforts both internal to DLA and throughout its customer base such as the Marine Corp Advanced Manufacturing Operations Cell. To create the product quality line system, ...

A system is proposed that can track the AE and RF energy dispersion that is created when a vehicle is impacted by a projectile at hyper velocity. This same device can measure the time of arrival of the wave front at transducers placed throughout the vehicle. Using the known velocity of the energy in the skin of the vehicle, the system can calculate the exact point of impact. Furthermore, Phase I t ...

Procedures play a large role in successfully testing and operating complex equipment. They provide step-by-step instructions for system check-out, experimental set-up, test plans, and responding to off-nominal situations. They also provide an electronic record of all test activities. As NASAnbsp; moves away from traditional paper procedures to more flexible electronic procedures, there is an oppor ...

The requirement of detecting nearly ten orders of magnitude smaller signal of a planet compared to the nearby star puts forward extreme challenges for coronagraphs designed for exoplanet imaging. Vector vortex waveplates (VWs) appear to be capable of providing best performance compared to other mask technologies due to their structure as thin film coatings of continuous texture that minimizes ligh ...

VORAGO Technologies has produced an IC definition and architecture for a rad-hard I/O Expansion chip that is capable of interfacing to next generation spaceflight processor devices including the High-Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC) chiplet.nbsp;We have gathered the best available knowledge of HPSC use-cases to conceptualize and articulate the requirements for an I/O Expansion Chip, creati ...
