The United States Air Force is developing new turbine engines with variable cycles and integrated exhaust systems through the Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology and the Advanced Turbine Technologies for Affordable Mission-Capability initiatives.  These new engines will have integrated serpentine exhausts nozzles for improved overall aircraft performance.  Because the serpentine nozzles introdu ...

Robust and reliable communications is the cornerstone that maintains data transport between sensors, shooters, and command and control systems.  This no-fail control system is maintained by a complex combination of modern and legacy communications systems with wildly varying capabilities and limitations.  To improve the resiliency of this network, MTI Systems will adapt the FlowAgility network i ...

DeVal Lifecycle Support has utilized its success in the existing SBIR program to replicate various items in need of source of supply in the previous phase I effort. Using the company's unique and revolutionary R.O.P.E. (Rapid Obsolescence Planning and Execution) process to create entire technical drawing packages and manufacturing drawing packages, Deval has created a solution to the problem that ...

Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation (SPEC) proposes a flight hardened, miniaturized Inverse Synthetic Aperture LADAR (ISAL) for ultra-high resolution in air and space. The proposed miniature ISAL system is a revolutionary advance in 3D range and cross range accuracy for detection of targets. Four (4) system design parameters (Target LADAR Cross Section, Closing Speeds, Aperture Size to Mat ...

This project targets the development of commercially viable Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) process for the manufacturing of high voltage metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors for gallium nitride (GaN) Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) applications. In particular, the objective of this project is to provide a higher dielectric constant substitution for currently used dielectric layer ...

Project Summary / Abstract Minnesota HealthSolutions (MHS) in conjunction with the Mayo Clinic and Limbix proposes to develop a low- cost, virtual reality system that provides realistic and responsive exposures for childhood anxiety disorders (CAD) and obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD). Anxiety disorders are one of the most common childhood mental health diagnoses, yet as many as 70% of youth r ...

In the Phase I effort, Parts Life, Inc. utilized its proven SAR process to replicate NSNs. Using the company’s unique and revolutionary R.O.P.E.™ (Rapid Obsolescence Planning and Execution) process to create a complete technical and manufacturable drawing package, Parts Life provided a solution to a problem that has become increasingly more critical. All the drawings, specifications, sources, ...

The goal of this program is to develop and qualify a custom-designed alloy for the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV), which experiences severe corrosive and abrasive environments, including seawater and sand. In particular, the spindles on this vehicle are mission critical components for operation on land and sea. The spindles are highly loaded and galvanically ...

PROJECT SUMMARY Perinatal depressionexperienced by at leastof pregnant and postpartum womenis recognized as the most common complication of childbirth and as having extremely serious consequencesincluding significant suffering for pregnant women new mothers and their familiesand adverse impacts on infant developmentUnfortunatelythere are many barriers that make it difficult for women with perinata ...

RDRTec Inc. propose to develop innovative methods to exploit wake signature attributes for the small boat threat classification and feature aided tracking by airborne radar systems. For small maneuvering vessels, the wake can dominate the hard body signature and the sea spikes and breaking waves induced false alarms can overload the fingerprinting and classification algorithms. This effort will se ...
