Ebert Composites Corporation (Ebert) of Chula Vista, CA is a small business that has successfully executed and completed numerous SBIR Phase I, II, and IIIs for the US Air Force and Hill AFB. These have centered around new technologies for composite radar domes (radomes) and composite radar support towers. This proposal is a Phase II project, wherein Ebert will design an advanced composite tower f ...

When testing weapon systems, full motion video of the test article is among the data collected. However, in practice, such video is generally degraded due to environmental conditions between the imaging system and the subject. Digital processing techniques have been developed that have demonstrated the ability to reconstruct high-resolution imagery from environmentally degraded videos but to date ...

An innovative, minimally intrusive temperature and composition sensor concept, proven in Phase I, will be developed into a prototype and tested in a high-pressure combustor in Phase II. The sensor, designed to monitor the hot gas stream at the turbine inlet in advanced, high performance turbine engines, uses passive fiber-optical probes and a remote readout device to collect and analyze the spatia ...

The Agile Space Radio (ASR) is a reconfigurable and secure Software Defined Radio (SDR) family originally developed at Space Micro with AFRL Kirtland AFB SBIR funding. Our ASR has evolved to reflect the latest FPGA technology and the demonstrated ability to host a myriad of waveforms (SS-FH, CDMA, QPSK, OQPSK, FSK, PSK). Our ASRs are in modular format with scalable (based on the distance) levels o ...

Engineering and Scientific Innovations’ Smart Fire Protection System (SFPS) has achieved a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 through extensive testing. The system has a 100% success rate in suppressing the initial spray fires . This marks a significant improvement when compared the current state of the art in fire suppression systems which are single discharge systems. The main focus of th ...

No currently available burn product has shown efficacy in substantially decreasing wound healing time and preventing scar formation. The goals of this Phase II proposal are to expand on the results obtained in the Phase I study that showed that (1) halofuginone inhibited collagen-mediated contracture in dermal fibroblasts and (2) the presence of the keratin in the KeraStat burn product results in ...

Today, medical simulators such as medical mannequins play an essential role in training combat medics, doctors, nurses, and other military medical personnel. The more realistic those medical simulators are, the more effectively the trained personnel can act in the real situations. To be fully useful in such critical training, however, medical simulators need to overcome the tradeoff between fideli ...

Thermal injury is common in military conflicts as well as in civilian activities, and burn severity ranges from limited partial thickness to severe full thickness burns that can cover a significant portion of the body. Scar formation from these burns can

Traumatic hemorrhage is the primary mechanism of death in potentially survivable combat injuries, and is the leading cause of death for civilians under the age of 44. A major underlying cause of this high mortality is Acute Traumatic Coagulopathy, a deadl

Confocal microscopy has become the tool of choice for sub-micron imaging, particularly of biological tissues, and is being used as a diagnostic tool in other disciplines as well. Confocal microscope systems require the use of broadband optics in order for the instrument to collect emitted or scattered light throughout the visible and ultraviolet regions, with minimal spectral and temporal dispersi ...
