Award Data

Research conducted in Phase I identified a range of data sources providing vehicle related information to consumers shopping around or interested in knowing more about vehicles. Majority of the commercial data sources focused on vehicle features, new/used/CPO pricing, and vehicles listings. Such data sources lacked safety as their central focus, which is a concern for U.S. Department of Transporta ...

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 ...

There are over 123 UH-1Y aircraft in service today, each equipped with five internal fuel cells, with an average cost of $15k per fuel cell. The current supply chain for UH-1Y fuel cells is not able to meet delivery nor quality requirements, which has resulted in a significant force readiness issue. With this SBIR Phase II proposal, Response Technologies (RT) aims to: 1) “Phase I Qualify” a co ...

Absent an atmosphere, the limit for a minimum-orbit altitude (lt; 50 km) at the Moon, or other airless body, is currently bounded by the technological limitations of the guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) subsystem. Breakthrough improvements in this subsystem will enable new scientific investigations, such as (1) low altitude, direct sampling of the lunar particles naturally lofted by the com ...

Quantifying atmospheric aerosol, clouds and precipitation processes are critical needs for understanding climate and environmental change, a NASA objective. The formation of ice in the atmosphere depends on the nature and abundance of ice nucleating particles (INP), and has major implications for precipitation and cloud properties. Observational capabilities are required to advance understanding o ...

In the next decade, quantum technologies will provide revolutionary advances in communications, sensing and metrology, information processing, timekeeping, and navigation. Of particular interest to this NASA solicitation is the transformative potential of quantum technology in the realm of communications. Furthermore, transmission of quantum information over arbitrary distances raises new possibil ...

To meet NASArsquo;s need for compact, low-cost and autonomous deployable solar array systems to support near-term Lunar and future Martian exploration objectives, Roccor proposes to continue developing thenbsp; Articulating Solar Panel Energy (ASPEN) system by replacing the z-folded membrane PV blanket baselined for use in the CTSA architecture with an array of discrete modular thin-substrate sola ...

New classes of aircraft, providing personal, on-demand mobility, are under development and are poised to revolutionize short-duration air travel.nbsp; The impetus for this work comes from advances in electronics and controls, and increases in electric motor power densities.nbsp; As these aircraft are integrated into the transportation system, they will encounter icing conditions that may challenge ...

We propose to implement two new sensing modalities comprising the Multimodal Agile Ranging and Velocimetry INstrument (MARVIN) using a novel acousto-optic Structured Light Imaging Module (SLIM) previously developed under the NASA PIDDP program for planetary rover navigation and geomorphology.nbsp;Based on an acousto-optic illumination engine, SLIM consumes only 10-20W of power, weighs less than a ...
