CAMX Power proposes a Sequential Phase II program to follow on the Phase II DLA SBIR program “Logistically Robust, Long Life, High Power Rechargeable Battery”.  In the initial Phase II program, we designed, built, and tested a 6T Li-ion battery prototype based on CAMX Power’s proprietary cathode and zero-volt (0V)-capable high power cell technology.  The prototype and test modules were dem ...

During this project the Reverse Engineering (RE) practices will be applied to develop Technical Data Packages (TDPs) for needed items with limited or no sources of supply, with the ultimate goal of submitting a Source Approval Request (SAR). Using a proven Reverse Engineering and SAR development process, the packages will be developed and submitted to the relevant Engineering Authority. DLA is at ...

Legacy systems represent challenges for the military services and DLA.  During the initial SBIR Phase II, the fuel oil cooler (FOC) for the TF34 and other engines—which have been problem parts for years—were successfully addressed.  This effort applied proven reverse engineering methods to generate a technical data package (TDP) that can enable a qualified production source to make the part ...

The objective of this Phase I project is to develop low cost, rapid-setting-all-weather concrete materials that can be applied to craters, making damaged runways operational in less than 24 hours from the start of repair, requiring minimal logistical support, power, and requirements under extreme conditions. The materials will have the flexibility to repair everything from potholes to full-size cr ...

To meet the Defense Logistics Agency’s need for new and qualified sources of technology that will improve products for electrified systems in military and commercial aircraft, Alluvionic proposes a non-chemical battery, electric storage technology named FlyBall. This research will analyze how a disruptive mechanical kinetic energy storage feature set, such as FlyBall’s, would enable multiple e ...

Maintaining the many types of legacy weapon systems within the Department of Defense (DoD) is an enormous task, made more challenging by the aging of many of these systems. Some of the weapons were designed over 50 years ago and are now facing a shortage of sustainment components due to obsolescence. The situation is further complicated by the lack of sufficient documentation for fabricating or bu ...

Diminishing manufacturing source problems continue to cause shortages for critical DoD weapons systems, negatively impacting readiness. Subcomponents become obsolete and manufacturers stop supporting parts, and it becomes difficult for the government to acquire approved parts at a fair or reasonable price — or at any price.This scenario is the case for NSN 2840-0038-64656, the thermocouple cover ...

The DLA has a need to identify competent and qualified domestic suppliers for mission-critical items that are becoming increasingly scarce. To combat the obsolescence issue, Mentis Sciences Inc. (Mentis) proposes a qualification effort for Bleed Air Ducting for the C-5 Galaxy Air Vehicle (C-5). Mentis understands the importance of supporting the C-5 and maintaining a strong supply chain for compon ...

The goal of this Phase II project is to support the DOD supply chain with the installation of a pilot scale domestic manufacturing source for polycarbosilane (PCS) preceramic polymer for high temperature or hypersonic applications. CermeTech will work closely with a Tier 1 supplier of composite structures and components to test and verify key performance criteria and develop and demonstrate pilot ...

Digital Twins (DT) – computer simulations of electro-mechanical systems – have been employed for many years to monitor and predict the behavior of the physical systems they model. Since the introduction of malware such as Stuxnet, an urgent need has arisen to predict and prevent such operational technology (OT) systems from catastrophic critical infrastructure attacks before malicious cyber ac ...
