Our service members deployed worldwide are at risk of exposures to local environmental and industrial toxicants which can potentially result in long-term adverse health effects. Understanding the impact of these exposures is critical for improved force protection and safeguarding individual soldier health. Capturing and classifying exposure data is essential for developing and implementing risk mi ...

For dynamic protection of LWIR sensors from laser dazzler threats, Nanohmics, Inc., proposes to develop a thin, light-weight, electronically tunable notch filter based on microfabricated graphene-integrated metasurfaces. The optical filter can reject a specific narrow spectral line (“notch”) or multiple simultaneous notches. The metasurface comprises an engineered array of resonant microstruct ...

The goal of the Phase II program is to demonstrate growth of large-area single-crystal diamond substrates having surface area of 6 cm2 and suitable for electronic device applications. This will represent a major leap in available substrate area, from less than 1 cm2 available today. The technical path will directly follow the work begun in the Phase I program, which is, using our toroidal plasma C ...

Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation (SPEC) is proposing a fast moving Phase II Expendable Active RF Technologies for Helicopters (EARTH) program to deliver a fully functional 1”x2”x8” active expendable RF countermeasures prototype flight unit, which is form/fit compatible with the AN/ALE-47 dispenser. The proposed countermeasures flight unit (microUAV) expendables are configured with ...

Nanohmics Inc. in collaboration with Dr. Andrea Al propose to develop and experimentally demonstrate ultra-compact nonlinear-plasmonic all-optical switches and isolators that exploit sharp asymmetric plasmonic-resonances observed in sub-wavelength metasurfaces. Devices will be comprised of plasmonic gratings that couple light into Long Range Surface Plasmons (LRSPs). The gratings are engineered to ...

This SBIR Phase I proposal to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), requests funding for Form Fit and Function, LLC, a small disadvantaged, HUBZone Certified Business, to perform research in the development of an SAR package for NSN 3020-01-560-8493, Pulley, Groove.F3's proven experience in manufacturing and SAR package development, give F3 an advantage in development and decreases Government risk. ...

Nanohmics proposes to develop a hyperspectral imager for aft-looking sensing of phenomenology associated with target vehicles.The payload is designed to operate with existing components and has no moving parts.The high spectral resolution will provide feedback for signature models and the spatial resolution will allow the spectral signatures to be associated with specific phenomena.Approved for Pu ...

US Navy V-22 Osprey assets are highly susceptible to debris buildup on critical aluminum bodied heat exchangers. Operating in harsh desert or marine environments is the primary causes of debris buildup. A self-cleaning coating technology developed specifically for V-22 heat exchanger units will enable the aircraft to function more efficiently, and extend its operational range. We have identified a ...

Tetramer Technologies, a specialty materials research company, aims to develop a more robust elastomer material for cushioned clamps used by the Navy. Cushioned clamps serve an important role in securing hydraulic, fuel, and electrical lines in Navy aircraft. The existing cushions have shown sporadic and unreliable breakdown in use, despite being rated to a rigorous MIL standard. Tetramer proposes ...

In an effort to extend the service life of the Navy’s aging fleet of F/A-18E-F Super Hornets, the U.S. Navy has launched a comprehensive modification program to enable the fighter jets to fly more than 50-percent longer than originally intended. Under the PMA 265 Acquisition Program, it is expected to push the flight hours of the Hornet’s Service Life Extension Program from 6,000 flight hours ...
