The trend over the last several years is fewer businesses supplying manufactured products. Thus, by supply and demand, the cost of military hardware has increased with less competition. Furthermore, amortized cost of the qualifying a new product becomes cost prohibited resulting in non-competitive bids compared to historical averages. DLAs Replenishment Parts Purchase or Borrow program supports re ...

A technical approach is proposed to survey the industry for state of the art capabilities in terms of the SOCOM mission requirements described in the solicitation for the Group 2 Tactical ISR UAS. The results of the survey will select a configuration of potential candidate UAS that would meet the threshold and ultimately objective goals stated.

New high performance materials, seamed with novel bonding methods, combined with advanced aerodynamic designs, will be employed to develop lighter, more compact parachutes and paragliders, with improved aerodynamic performance and stability.

ColdQuanta is developing a highly-integrated, compact physics package that will reduce the size, weight, and power (SWaP) of the next-generation of space-based optical clocks. The key element of this system is the development of an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) manifold for laser cooling strontium. The extremely narrow linewidth of strontiums optical intercombination transition is ideal for constructing ...

Dielectric materials, which store energy electrostatically, are ubiquitous in advanced electronics and electric power systems. Polymer dielectrics have highbreakdown strengths and excellent reliability, are scalable, lightweight and can be shaped into intricate configurations, and are therefore an ideal choice for many power electronics, power conditioning, and pulsed power applications. A variety ...

The next generation of Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) radio terminals are currently under development and the Navy is in need of improved thermal management to enable the current state of the art signal processing capabilities within the currently deployed fleet environment. Roccor proposed to leverage its FlexCoolTM technology in partnership with ViaSat to design, develop ...

Modeling and simulation play a critical role in the design and evaluation of high power microwave (HPM) devices. However, many of the most recent simulation methods have yet to be adopted by Navy scientists in their design process, in part because these methods need additional improvements and need to be shown to work on problems of interest to the Navy. Improvements to Magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) ...

This SBIR Phase II proposal for a Common Embedded Vehicle Network Diagnostics Interface Hardware (CEVNDIH) for an IEEE-1394 based AS5643 network implementation is focused on IEEE-1394 PHY, Link and Open Host Controller (OHCI) optimizations, diagnostics and enhancements. The resulting implementation is designed; a) to create improvements to help maintenance personnel isolate subsystem, wiring, or c ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project lies in the widespread nature of the problem of airborne Black (BC) and Brown (BrC) carbon particulates. These are formed from combustion processes such as motor vehicles and ships, forest fires and biomass burning, as well as indoor cooking in developing countries. BC and BrC are important components of atmospheric aerosols (small airborne s ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project will be to greatly advance the application of robots and improve robots safety when working together with humans. Integration of embedded proximity sensors into robotic end-effectors with an advanced user-interface control system provides a significant leap from current sensory and control systems available. The advances of this project in se ...
