Connected automated vehicle (CAV) technology has significant implications in terms of transportation system safety and efficiency. However, building and maintaining a wireless communication infrastructure (e.g. roadside units (RSUs), power, fiber optic lines etc.) across the U.S. is a challenging task. In urban areas, where vehicle population and vehicle-miles-traveled (VMT) are high, building suc ...

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 ...

Additional sources of supply are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency for Land and Maritime hard-to-source items, as well as critical application and safety items (CAI/CSI) for Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE). Mainstream has carefully reviewed the requirements provided in the technical data packages for several NSNs and determined that they fit within our manufacturing capabilitie ...

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, ...

Response Technologies will attempt to build H-60 fuel cell prototypes and qualify to a portion of MIL-DTL-27422F’s Phase II performance testing criteria [Class B – Semi rigid or self-supporting fuel construction, Type I – Self-sealing, and Protection Level C – Full self-sealing against 50 caliber and partial self-sealing against 14.5 mm] . Response Technologies uses an additive manufacturi ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Lack of transportation access affects approximately 30% of people with functional limitations. In fact, people with functional limitations experience transportation access barriers four times more than those without limitations. With the emerging market of low cost augmented and virtual reality technology, perceptual user interfaces (PUI) that interact more naturalistically with end-users are prov ...

ADA Technologies, Inc. (ADA) in partnership with Laser Marks, a laser systems integrator, has designed, developed (Phase I) and will fabricate a low-cost, automated, high-speed/high-throughput Li-ion electrode cutter capable of producing high quality electrodes in an additive manufacturing environment. Utilizing the latest in laser technology and scanning systems coupled with innovative design and ...
