Silicon Technologies will design and simulate in Verilog-AMS and Cadence Spectre an ADC, two DACs, a serial interface and other circuits to be built on a single chip in a ITAR complaint manufacturing process.The ARMY is interested in this development for use in a SWAP-C ASIC for next generation fuse proximity sensors and other programs.STI proposes to use an existing pipelined ADC that has been bu ...

The MK3A2 offensive hand grenade has been out of commission since 1975, leaving warfighters with stun (flash) and fragmentation grenades, which do not have the level of lethality for incapacitating enemy combatants. Efforts have been in the forefront to develop an optimized replacement. The objective of the Topic A181-077 SBIR program is to develop a novel and innovative technology that produces d ...

Sequent Logic is proposing a fiber-optic condition-based management platform that addresses the Navys need for an intelligent, adaptable, reconfigurable, scalable, expandable, reliable, compact, and affordable means of passively and actively monitoring temperature, strain, vibration, and acoustic emissions, and that is capable of characterizing material anomalies and fatigue to predict time-to-ins ...

Within the increasingly contested undersea operational arena, the Navy needs a tactical and competitive advantage in undersea sensing and detection through improved situational awareness with respect to environmental parameters, such as sound speed profile (SSP) and bottom properties, that affect overall submarine sonar sensor performance. Current approaches for enhancing environmental situational ...

AN/SSQ-53G Directional Frequency Analysis and Recording (DIFAR) sonobuoys are a critical asset to the Navy and have been in use since the 1970s. With the advancements in technology, it is now possible to miniaturize and more efficiently implement the upper portion of the sonobuoy to create space for additional sonobuoy capabilities without increasing the sonobuoys physical size. To address this is ...

Propel will undertake research efforts to investigate seamless knitting for U.S. Navy knitwear as compared to cut and sew assembly. Propel will develop initial concepts and swatches and evaluate their technical feasibility, comparing promising concept to traditionally sewn seams using a variety of internationally recognised standards and test methods. Propel will also develop a design brief and co ...

CMC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Cleveland, OH) is proposing developing a stable, combination product of two small molecule drug candidates as acounter measure to chemical warfare nerve agents (NA). The combination product is expected to exploit complementary pharmacologicalprofiles for optimal muscarinic receptor blockade and anticholinergic activity within the peripheral and central nervous system. It ...

Vacuum electronic devices (VEDs) have demonstrated their ruggedness and insensitivity to harsh environments, making them the top choice for mitigating high Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) in military operations and missions.However, manual and cumbersome fabrication does not permit VEDs to circuit integration including integrated circuit (IC) formats to ensure best reliability and performance. InnoSys ...

We propose using an integrated, multi-layered sensing approach for rapidly assessing runway damage (i.e., craters, spall, debris, and unexploded ordinance [UXO]). Within this approach, a fixed wing UAV will be tasked to fly the entire area of interest. Through edge computing and real-time processing of images the system will assess any specific locations in need of more detailed inspection. Curren ...

Cognovi Labs Artificial Intelligence technology offers solutions that would result in: 1.) a reduction in Air Force analyst fatigue by aggregating very large unstructured data sets; 2.) analyzing and distilling the data in a variety of ways that will result in a potentially significant decrease in the time from data receipt to actionable intelligence; and 3.) a more streamlined presentation of the ...
