The objective of this Phase II STTP contract is to demonstrate an alternative agile acquisition approach by repurposing excess inventory legacy weapons for future mission applications. Through integration of inventory or new weapon subsystem components within the legacy weapon airframes without modifying the outer mold line (OML), new weapon employment capability may be identified and developed. A ...

The Digital Greenhouse concept is to work with users from operational organizations in off-site commercial locations, positioned near Air Force logistics centers, to quickly develop “user storiesâ€Â for use in rapid development of working prototypes. These prototypes will be tested and validated by these users for use in application modernization projects capable of providing advanced ...

With growing regulatory concern over the release of waterborne industrial pollutants, the US Environmental Protection Agency has identified metal finishing as an industrial operation whose pollutant discharge poses a significant threat to public health and the environment. Currently, the US Department of Defense (DoD) weapon system operations rely on metal hydroxide precipitation to treat metal fi ...

This SBIR Phase I project will develop and test a computer-based expert system that will guide development of beginning literacy curricula in any phonics-based language. The system will produce beginning literacy curricula mobile apps for phones and tablets and will include beginning reading, writing, vocabulary-building, and assessment activities. The expert system will (a) minimize cost, time an ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to engineer resistance to two bacterial diseases in citrus trees, Huanglongbing (HLB) and citrus canker. HLB and canker have cost growers billions of dollars in destroyed trees and are decimating the Florida citrus industry. In Florida, annual citrus production has fallen from 242 million b ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to create a cost-effective, high-performance anticorrosive coating for protecting metal structures, particularly in marine environments. High value assets that are essential parts of the US energy infrastructure, such as offshore oil and gas platforms, marine ships and wind turbines, are ex ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is to improve law enforcement (LE) effectiveness in battling the illegal drug epidemic in the U.S. Death rates related to drug use have been increasing yearly and exceeded 72,000 Americans in 2017. To control this epidemic, the President?s 2019 Budget Request called for $30B in federal funding to combat illegal drug use, presenting a commerci ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will address the challenge of developing students? empathy and emotional self-awareness with a mobile-based platform. Aligning with the NSF's mission to develop innovative education programs to enhance aspects of emotional intelligence, this project will address three major pain points for young learners with far-reaching implications. First, ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is the development of drone-based technology to manage fires more safely, efficiently, and effectively. Wildfires cause hundreds of billions of dollars in annual damages in the United States. As the size and number of wildfires increases, prescribed fires have emerged as one of the most cost-effective tools to reduce catastrophic damage by re ...
