A breakthrough combines new technology for solid polymer electrolyte and harvesting of kinetic energy (including heat and compression) to achieve unmet military needs for extremely rapid activation, performance across a broad range of temperatures, and an extremely long shelf life of up to 30 - 50 years. The goals include cyclic capabilities, life, safety and thermal performance that are otherwise ...

ABSTRACT:The proposed effort will demonstrate new technologies to fill gaps in the AF space situational awareness capabilities. A payload will be fabricated and integrated into a cubesat bus and tested to verify its suitability for a future space experiment. A test plan will be written for testing the satellite in a space experiment.BENEFIT:This program will fill capability gaps for expanding re ...

In response to the A13-004 Remote Triage of Combat Casualties solicitation, MaXentric proposes the VitalWave system. The VitalWave system uses Doppler radar and radar imaging to assess the vital signs individuals. The use of Doppler radar allows for a system that can measure vital signs with no direct contact required. This allows first responders the ability to assess the vital signs of multiple ...

The SBIR Phase I effort demonstrated that a successful Subsea Long Haul Optical Transponder (SLOT) design for transmitting data from a branched sensor node onto a trunk cable and back to a shore terminus must consider the overall trunk cable system transmission characteristics. The SBIR Phase I study resulted in a viable SLOT concept. The Phase II effort develops the Core Transponder Module (CTM) ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant The overall goal of this SBIR Fast Track application is to develop a web based program to train peer mentors to guide parents of children with asthma on methods to reduce ED visits and hospitalizations There are million children with asthma Asthma is the cause of million missed days of school million outpatient visits ED visits and ...

During Phase II, we will prototype the PCIC imager; characterize its dark count rate, quantum efficiency, gain, crosstalk, bandwidth, jitter, etc., as a function of the bias voltages and temperatures; perform environmental testing including operating temperature, vibration and thermal testing; compare between design specifications, model, simulation, and analysis and measured PCIC performance; del ...

The overall objective of this program is to develop an innovative laser based ignition system to reliably ignite fuel-air mixtures during lean-burn combustion in gasoline engines. In this SBIR the new technology of high power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) pumped solid state lasers developed at Princeton Optronics (PO) is used to develop reliable laser ignition systems for gasoline ...

To advance the Automated Warhead Characterization System (AWCS), an innovative yet practical technology solution for NAVAIR, MSI proposes to perform Phase II of the AWCS SBIR project. By providing expanded and enhanced data acquisition capability, significantly reduced turnaround time, and streamlined operation for the end user, MSIs AWCS technology will improve the current arena testing process s ...

SciTec has developed a system for post engagement evaluation and reporting (SPEER) that combines a multi-phenomenology, multi-source fusion engine with a human-machine interface (HMI) to correlate messages, system tracks and multi-source data, further exploits this data and displays information to provide situational awareness to include post engagement assessments. SPEER incorporates the remote ...

There is a need to further develop the internal combustion engine to increase its efficiency and reduce emissions. The DoE has correctly concluded that presently utilized ignition technology is a limiting factor in further improvements. DoE has specified certain performance targets which it believes will enable the development of the next generation of internal combustion engines. Knite agrees wit ...
