Fullmoon has the first chip-level sensors capable of identifying and quantifying molecules in the air. At the core of our technology are printed voltammetric sensors, which are operated using cyclic voltammetry, an electrochemical technique that probes for the redox potential, a unique signature of molecules. We have demonstrated this sensing principle for the detection of carbon monoxide and meth ...

In this Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) effort, Nikira Labs Inc. proposes to develop a compact Raman fiber optic probe with inline spectral filtering that improves fiber-coupled Raman measurements by filtering out Raman scattering from the excitation fiber and elastically scattered laser light from the collection fibers. The technology will enable compact fiber probes for Raman studies i ...

Based on our success in developing several the worlds first commercial high energy femtosecond fiber laser system and OPA systems, PolarOnyx propose, for the first time, a compact fiber laser pumped high energy mid-wave infrared laser to meet with the requirement of the Army solicitation A17-042. The laser is a hybrid fiber/solid state laser based MOPA incorporating our proprietary technology of p ...

To address the Armys need for a simulation and verification framework for future vertical lift (FVL) aircraft systems, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) developed and demonstrated a preliminary prototype of an Avionics Compositional System of Systems (SoS) Simulation and Modeling Tool Chain (ASSIST) in Phase I. ASSIST includes software to parse avionics specifications; automatically generate missi ...

The objectives of the project are to develop and demonstrate a high-fidelity simulation tool to predict and optimize high-pressure heavy fuel injectors. During Phase I research, Cascade Technologies developed a multiscale breakup model that resolves the continuous liquid phase using the geometric Volume-of-Fluid method, and models subgrid interfacial structures (ligaments, sheets and drops) by the ...

The team led by Freedom Photonics will develop in this program a novel free-space optical (FSO) link that will enable high-speed interconnects operating at multi-tens of Gbps, which are required for the newer, cryogenically cooled, large format, high definition (HD), fast frame rate, focal plane array (FPA) readout integrated circuits (ROIC). By using free-space optics to collect data from the ROI ...

Physiological events are a recognized aviation hazard, so military aircrews are trained to recognize and respond to physiological symptoms. Of all causes of physiological events, one of the most treatable is dehydration, which can lead to fatigue, increased susceptibility to physical stressors, emotional alterations, and impaired judgment. Detecting dehydration early can reduce or eliminate this r ...

Airborne maritime and littoral surveillance radar/ESM/ELINT in contested environments is facing an increasingly sophisticated set of threats due to ever evolving adversarial tactics and a global proliferation of enabling radio frequency (RF), high performance embedded computing (HPEC), and other technologies. Unfortunately, traditional airborne surveillance radar modes and waveforms are not suffic ...

Epitracker Inc. is developing a once daily oral supplement to prevent aging-associated diseases in Navy bottlenose dolphins. As dolphins age, some individuals develop chronic conditions, including inflammation, anemia, and metabolic syndrome. While modified fish diets may help stem these conditions, lack of ideal commercial fish stocks has resulted in a need to identify specific health-protective ...

The U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program (MMP) houses and cares for dolphins, which play a key role in protecting harbors and Naval assets. These bottlenose dolphins develop subclinical metabolic syndrome requiring nutritional oral supplements to improve dolphin metabolism. To address this need, InnoSense LLC (ISL) will develop DolphiDose, an oral supplement, with dose-specific beneficial fatty acids ( ...
