Low Altitude Sensing Helmet -(LASH) is to provide for pilot night vision when using small non-military planes to operate using unimproved landing areas around the globe. LASH will use SWIR (Short Wave IR) and LWIR (Long Wave IR) technology sensors to provide improved night vision in specified conditions.

Ibis’ baseline design balances the competing demands of low cost and high performance. The proposed baseline allows for the incorporation of high-rate production technologies which also provide the most functional shapes, minimizing cost and maximizing performance. Ibis’ layout features a streamlined fuselage, high aspect ratio swept wings and non-foldable tail-planes which sum up to ...

AEDC needs a suite of testing approaches that will enable rapid, thorough calibration of large format imaging sensors (at least 4096x4096 pixels) with existing AEDC SSTF test equipment (scene projection and data acquisition). The methodology must extend to testing imaging sensors with field of view varying between one and 30 degrees without changes to optical hardware. The challenge is both to col ...

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 ...

UES has developed a suite of ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) materials, produced using their novel “Top Downâ€Â process, that display an unusually attractive balance of properties, that include high strength/toughness and good oxidation/erosion resistance. These materials are very attractive for use in extreme environments, where high temperature resistance (>3400 °C [>6000Â� ...

Silicone wristband personal dosimeters (PDs) are uniquein being ableto measure both volatile(VOCs) and semi-volatile(SVOCs)compounds,capturing bioa ...

The goal of this SBIR is to provide proof of concept of Vetigenicscanine derived scFv phage display platform for rapidcost effective production of highly versatilecanine derived scFvsscFvs against CDCDand CTLAthree high valueimmunological molecules being targeted by antibody based strategies in human cancer immunotherapywill be isolatedSelected scFvs will be sequenced and binding affinities determ ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is providing a high potent antimicrobial solution for textiles, coatings, polymers, and wound care and bandages. There is considerable proliferation of antibiotic resistant bacteria, and, antimicrobials that do not develop resistance is of significant societal interest. Silver-based antimicrob ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project enables key proof points behind the novel concept of a hand-held medical robot, i.e. use of a medical robot to autonomously perform a task during which neither the robot not the patient is fixed in space. The potential outcome of this project is a comprehensive line of robotic ultrasound transducers that enable a variety of interventional poi ...
