The goal of this project is to develop a novel experimental protocol utilizing the fundamentals of cutting-edge materials science, chemistry, and advanced nanoengineering to create a first-of-its-kind multifunctional cementitious coating material that mitigates the detrimental effects of irradiation, heat, and corrosive in nuclear power plants. Capitalizing on our promising preliminary results, th ...

In this proposal, CompRex, LLC (“CompRex”) seeks to realize a transformational and disruptive advancement in heat exchange technology for high temperature and high pressure applications through 1) the use of advanced metal and ceramic composite material, 2) development of a new simplified manufacturing approach, and 3) optimization of heat exchanger design to maximize the performance benefits ...

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, ...

In Phase II, Mainstream will continue development efforts for several lenses used in the stabilized glide slope indicator (SGSI) system and Fresnel lens optical landing system (FLOLS). Mainstream produced prototype clear acrylic lenticular lenses prototypes that passed optical tests performed by the engineering support activity (ESA) at NAWCADLKE in Phase I. Mainstream will develop conformal color ...

The goal of this project is to design and develop Semantic Analysis Technologies for the Identification of Dual Use Research of Concern (STIR). STIR processes scientific documents using semantic technologies and inference algorithms to identify potential for Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC). The focus is on 15 high consequence pathogens and toxins and 7 experimental categories identified as DUR ...

During the Phase I effort, Proportional Technologies, Inc. developed non-saturating components for a military battlefield dosimeter based on ionization chamber technology. Chambers were thimble-shaped, made out of carbon, and incorporated different materials for the conversion of fast neutrons, thermal neutrons, and gamma radiation. Extensive testing showed that the proposed solution is feasible. ...
