This proposal develops design details and materials concepts for a Collapsible Rigid Inflatable Boat (C-RIB). The proposal seeks to develop a seaworthy prototype within Phase I budgets and time- frames. A multi-disciplined team approach will develop a lightweight, armored, low observable craft launchable from submarines, aircraft, and surface vessels. Commercial versions are contemplated in collap ...

"High performance suspended seat technology offers significant advantages in reducing acute injuries, long term disability, and fatigue associated with high-speed maritime operations. Our proposed concept will apply a systems design approach to addressingthe needs of SOF personnel over all conditions, particularly rough seas. Our novel concept eliminates the inherent weaknesses of existing suspe ...

Several important emerging applications require efficient, high-speed high-duty-cycle, amplitude modulation of high levels of microwave power, with low cost and small size-and-weight. The modulation frequency and average power required for these applications are far beyond the capabilities of existing technology. MRC proposes to research and develop two alternative methods of achieving square-wa ...

"This Phase I SBIR proposal is for the initial development of a miniaturized real-time visible/UV spectrometer based on micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) technology. Use of MOEMS technology enables orders of magnitude reductions in size, weightand power from the smallest spectrometers commercially available today and virtually assures exceeding stated corresponding SBIR requirements. ...

NOVELX, Inc. proposes to develop and market a compact scanning electron microscope (SEM) with X-ray analysis capabilities for mobile, homeland defense, commercial, and military applications. The Phase I technical objective is to investigate the feasibilityof integrating a miniature modular scanning electron microscope (mmSEM) with a thermoelectrically cooled silicon X-ray detector, in order to pro ...

Optical E. T. C., Inc. (OETC) proposes to perform research into appropriatetechnologies that meet SOCOM needs for an automated IMC send and receivecapability suitable for reduced RF signature during combat operations.OETC will develop a system concept based upon the specified size, weight,and power constraints and the desired SOCOM capabilities. During the Phase Iactivity, OETC will develop a tec ...
