The US Army is investing in the development of energetic materials for use in additive manufacturing (AM) for explosive and propellant applications in an ongoing effort to achieve extended range and lethality overmatch.  Currently, all commercially available monomers, polymers or resin systems for AM are non-energetic.  To use these in 3D printing applications for propellants and/or explosives, ...

This program will develop a novel, low environment, safety, and occupational health (ESOH) risk coating system capable of mitigating the long wave infrared (LWIR) signature of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This will be achieved through a first in class biosynthetic approach to graft the biosynthetic pathway of the bio-pigment xanthommatin into a microbial host. The pigment produced through t ...

AE proposes to use this Phase II effort to produce two 300W+ TRL6-7 PCFC Fuel Cell Systems for testing and evaluation by the US Army.  Critical to achieving this delivery is the optimization of PCFC performance and the high production rate of PCFC cells through AE’s unique thermoplastic extrusion manufacturing process.  Given the breadth of knowledge gained in the Phase I work, the AE/CSM team ...

The main objective of this program is to design and fabricate an advanced monolithic 3D blade-type ion trap, which should provide capabilities that go significantly beyond the present state-of-the art.  Our design incorporates features that should radically improve trap operational capabilities over today’s standards. The trapping zone will incorporate spatially distinctive sections that are ea ...

Storagenergy proposes a novel methodology that allows for the 3D printing of different thermally cured thermosets in a fast and precise additive manufacturing process. The proposed approach has several advantages over other technologies for additive manufacturing of thermoset polymers including (1) High feature resolution and structure complexity (2) Fast fabrication speed (3) No post therma ...

Amp Human proposes developing a military-specific adaptation of its Prime Rinse commercial product (itself in mid-stage R&D) that signals the brain ease its regulation of physical performance. As a venture-backed human performance company, Amp Human’s exp

The Air Force seeks a digital tool to integrate infrastructure data for supply and maintenance solutions (such as supply chain risk management). Furthermore, this tool should provide data visualization, analysis, and sharing capabilities across government

Mission Innovation and the University of Michigan have partnered to develop a microprocessor architecture that reduces the high cost of a context switch while also providing hardware-based computer security. With processor memory and bus architecture conf

Webomates is a technology company revolutionizing the way application & software testing and compliance assurance is conducted. Webomates’ advanced humans assisted AI system creates hundreds or thousands of test scenarios as per defined software requireme

We will investigate the radiation effects on microelectronics due to gamma-rays and beta-rays and compare the effects on electrical and material properties between the two radiation types to formulate a quantitative mapping of radiation types (gamma and beta) and effects. The purpose is to: 1) Develop an overall physics-based strategy; 2) Define the experimental design, guided by analytical calcul ...
