To address the DON’s need for developing methods to produce accurate riblet profiles in outer mold line (OML) surfaces that yield significant drag savings, fuel cost savings and extended range for USN aircraft, DARE Venture Group is partnered with MicroTau to deliver that exact development related to specific US Naval aircraft requirements. This project includes objectives encompassing the resea ...

Dialectic Simulations Consulting, LLC, partnered with SoSA Corp, is prepared to support the Marine Corps Wargaming and Analysis Center (MCWAC) in developing conceptual models of Civil-Military Operations (CMO). These models include both civilian population and civilian patterns of life as specified in the topic, described in JP3-57, and envisioned in Force Design 2030.   In addition to our experi ...

Triverus has developed and transitioned FOD solutions for the Navy shipboard F-35/Harrier programs. The MCRRS technology represents the current state of the art relating to flat surface cleaning with enhanced performance for removing very small to relatively large particles that contribute to Storm Water Pollution (SWPP) and FOD risk. Operationally the MCRRS platform has also been developed to exc ...

A high energy density, high power cylindrical cell suitable for pulsed power operation with a capacity between 15 and 20 Ah will be developed. The cell will utilize a lithium iron phosphate chemistry and will utilize both internal and external thermal management technology to minimize temperature rise even under high power operation.

This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I effort will demonstrate the feasibility of a novel passively adaptive shock and vibration isolating buffer system for the US Navys combatant craft. The proposed approach does not rely on conventional passive, semi-active or active spring-damper systems. The buffer system will provide energy damping via a liquid spring buffer and eddy current d ...

Nevada Composites has developed Green-Aero(sm) toolinglightweight ceramic tooling that is stable under high pressure and long-duration cure cycles and can be washed out with water after cures to 370C (700F). Tools, whether single-sided or washout, have a composite-compatible CTE, provide tight tolerances, are reproducible, are stable to storage under ambient conditions, and are of affordable cost. ...

Recent efforts at improving shipboard operations have focused on desalination systems. One area in which manpower may be significantly reduced is in the monitoring chlorine residuals from hypochlorite enhanced streams that are used for periodic biofouling control flushes of microfiltration membranes. These are used for pretreatment of seawater prior to exposure to reverse osmosis membranes used fo ...

This SBIR Phase II effort will be aimed towards designing and testing a controllable missile lateral support system (LSS) that reacts automatically to shock and vibration inputs. A sub-scale lateral support system (LSS) assembly consisting of six jacking feet and a full-scale LSS jacking feet unit will be fabricated and tested. The electromechanically actuated LSS will offer controllable damping t ...

DSSP proposes to modifying our novel and innovative Electrically-controlled Solid Propellant (ESP) for use as an electric liquid propellant for adaptation to a high performance, high mass fraction, non-toxic, low hazard liquid DACS monopropellant system. Since DSSPs propellants are ignited by applied electrical power, simple inert electrodes and advanced energy management concepts can be substitut ...
