Additive manufacturing has delivered enormous advantages in rapidly producing prototype designs for both the industrial and military sectors. However, the true promise of transitioning from prototype to production of essential 3D printed components using high-performance materials has remained untenable. The High Speed Extrusion (HSE) process developed by Essentium flips this longstanding paradigm ...

The ability to rapidly deploy shelter is critical to a lethal and resilient force. New and innovative technologies are needed to advance the capabilities of Air Force civil engineers and RED HORSE units. ICON is developing a technology that could offer a step advance in the ability of expeditionary teams to rapidly deploy shelter and base defenses using 3D printing of concrete structures. Potentia ...

Development of a small UAS compatible Micro IFF transponder including Modes 1,2,3A,C,S , Dual band ADS-B, UAT, Mode 5 and interrogator. All modes include both receive (in) and transmit (out). Size is less than 8 cu inches and weight is under 6 oz with full AIMS 17-1000 compliance, including 500 watt output with diversity. Unit is also low cost and low maintenance. Unit meets full military temperat ...

The purpose of this effort is to develop a process for creating visualization models and AR/VR software tools for training and work instructions, which include 1) A hardware kit with a 3D scanner/computer with accessories for capturing colors and textures; 2) A Tablet and AR/VR headsets • A software package with tools for creating and decimating models from CAD files, 3D scanners, and photogramm ...

Under the subsequent Phase II program, Analysis, Design & Diagnostics, Inc. will work closely with the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the technical development team from NSWC Panama City to further advance this technology to support mining S&T programs in both shallow and deep water environments. The culmination of this effort will be an end-to-end technology demonstration of the next generati ...

A key element for North America’s defense is air domain dominance. Achieving this requires NORAD Battle Control Centers (BCCs) to have a complete understanding of the friendly and foe actors in the airspace, and then form and execute (in real time) both defensive and offensive air battle plans, which are woven into the overall battle plans for land, sea, air, space, and now cyber space doma ...

Maritime Classification Aid (MCA) performance will be enhanced by maturing both the 3-D ISAR technology developed under the phase SBIR topic N141-081 and the integration of the enhanced capability with SEMS / Minotaur. Tuning and testing will be focused on transition to the MQ-4C Triton and P-8A Poseidon programs. 3D-ISAR work previously performed on topic N141-018 demonstrated that under favorabl ...

During this Phase II.5 SBIR effort, we propose to design, develop and fabricate prototype SiGe MMICs and perform initial array layout that will support the baseline AN/ZPY-9 Hybrid Monopulse Interferometry (HMI) C-Band Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar as well as support a fully populated HMI AESA configuration offering potential performance improvements. Our overall objective is to ...

Due to recent technological advancements there is a need for a family of flexible, optically transparent conducting films. Eclipse Energy Systems (Eclipse) has developed a proprietary visually transparent electrical conductor (88% transmission at 550 nm,

Service members deployed worldwide are at risk of exposures to local environmental and industrial toxicants which can potentially result in long-term adverse health effects. Understanding the impact of these exposures is critical for improved force protection and safeguarding individual soldier health. Capturing and classifying exposure data is essential for implementing risk mitigation strategies ...
