Defense Need: The U.S. Air Force 2030 Science and Technology Strategy’s vision is “An Air Force that dominates time, space, and complexity in future conflict across all operating domains to project power and defend the homeland.” The document specifically calls for advanced technology solutions along the following five strategic capabilities: 1. Global Persistent Awareness, 2. Resilient Info ...

The only companies working on this technology are in China/Taiwan and the Middle East.  In fact, China has stated a national goal to dominate Bluetooth/5G RFID (and especially the crucial semi-conductors required to power it) by the year 2025.  Other than

The broader impact of this SBIR Phase I project is to improve education and experiential learning.The proposed tool will support both synchronous and asynchronous learning while providing students with the opportunity to engage independently and connect their learning to internships, job shadows, service projects, and other real-world learning experiences. This project will enhance teacher capacit ...

Continuous Composites Inc. (CCI) has developed and patented a continuous fiber 3-D printing technology known as CF3Dreg;. CF3D has unique capabilities to reduce cost, accelerate design cycles, scale throughput, and create highly tailorable structures (e.g., in terms of design and material properties). By utilizing continuous fiber reinforcement, snap curing aerospace-grade photopolymers, and robot ...

Project Summary The United States faces significant shortfalls recruiting and producing the healthcare professionals. In addition to staff shortages, the workforce is also burdened by a lack of racial and ethnic diversity. As a potential counter to these widening gaps, Liiingo’s healthcare career exploration game, Upward Knowbility, is a novel tool for secondary students to learn about career op ...

High-temperature nuclear reactors, and irradiation test-capsules, make use of molten metals and their alloys for heat transfer functions from the active zones due to its high degree of thermal conductivity. Pumping of these liquid media by classical mechanical radial or axial pumps is, however, rather difficult and the lifetime of such devices is relatively low. It is known that electromagnetic pu ...

Competitive, national security, and efficiency concerns provide an urgent need for ceramic matrix composite research and development, particularly for use in hypersonic and turbine engine applications. Thermal and mechanically-induced stresses in these structures limit speed, strength, and life-expectancy. Composite performance may be greatly enhanced through the use of novel additives, such as fi ...

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 ...

The Venspirator FR (First Responder) is a transformative ventilation device that provides positive pressure airflow mixing oxygen with entrained N95-filtered ambient air to supply FiO2 to a patient rather than straight oxygen. The device relies on the use

Inergy is a leader in consumer portable solar generator products. Inergy’s Flex Home Base (TRL 6) is a portable and intelligent energy storage and generation technology. This plug and play power system is capable of generating up to 6kW of continuous powe
