Currently, defense-wide USG organizations can take weeks to compile critical reports, assembling information and data using the “cut and paste” method. These critical reports synthesize newly available information to assist in decision-making on both a po

Integral bladed rotors (IBR) manufacturing is an essential part of gas turbine fabrication for modern fighter aircraft. Stringent dimensional tolerance and surface finish requirements necessitate precision manufacturing and consequently, resulting in increased cost. Our Phase II proposal will demonstrate innovative high speed machining (HSM) technologies the Air Force needs for affordable fabrica ...

Space Force’s anti-jam modems, like A3M/PTW mitigate the effects of jamming on tactical communications networks. However, there remains a need for technologies to improve SATCOM link resilience and throughput while reduce SWaP, especially for mobile and l

Computational Storage platforms are emerging as a disruptive enhancement in the data processing ecosystem as they have the potential to address the critical bottleneck of limited I/O bandwidth and high latency between storage and compute nodes in the system hierarchy. This “late coming” technology to the Exascale program has the potential to enhance DOE and the broader government’s leadershi ...

Currently, climate change due to huge CO2 emissions is a well-recognized subject of widespread public concern. Global CO2 emissions are expected to double by 2030 if no specific countermeasures are taken. This substantial increase has been largely attributed to growing demands for the energy deriving from the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, residue oil, and natural gases, which accounts f ...

The overall objective of this program is to develop an open platform of strategic radiation hardened IP on the commercially available 16nm FinFET foundry technology from Intel to enable development of ASICs, SoCs, and other custom integrated circuits. Trusted Semiconductor Solutions will develop a strategic radiation hardened latches and flip flops, memory bit cells, voltage controlled oscillator ...

ABSTRACT:In this Phase II effort, nGimat will utilize its newly-developed FAFS technique to sinter ceramic films to metal substrates.The FAFS method was developed and proved feasible through a Phase I SBIR grant and we will expand our understanding of the technique through thorough R&D in Phase II.Sintered samples will undergo thorough surface and mechanical analysis to validate the FAFS process.S ...

ABSTRACT:Emergence and feasibility for flexible body-worn electronics and particularly medical patches requires high performance electronics capability.The problem is that these new technologies must have flexible and conformal physical formats and conventional electronic components are not in any way flexible. In the CLAS Phase I program, a new flexible high-performance manufacturing and material ...

This Phase II SBIR program will design and manufacture an anti-tamper environmental sensor ideal for preventing “black-box” attacks. The sensor can detect changing environmental conditions from inside a protected cavity with and without applied power. The device is microelectronic compatible which allows it to be very small and extremely versatile. The “black box” can be many sizes and ...

Statement of the Problem: Decommissioned solar panels will account for up to 10 million tons of waste in the USA by 2050. PV recycling has seen little development in reclaiming valuable materials present in low concentrations. Copper and silver account for 1% and 0.1%, respectively, of the total waste mass, but represent 7% and 42% of the waste value. To make mass PV recycling economically viable, ...
