The loom developed by the BRM team is the most advanced and versatile loom ever built by BRM. The servo control of all movements in the weaving operation, combined with BRM’s experience of weaving novel structures is a true game changer, advancing BRM’s ability to supply woven preforms which were unobtainable until now. Now that the loom is built and a proof of concept has been woven on the lo ...

The national imperative to field hypersonic weapon systems has increased the demand for robust, lightweight, and affordable high temperature materials for thermal protection systems.  Refractory composites such as carbon-carbon (C/C) or carbon/SiC (C/SiC) offer enormous promise, but wider-scale acceptance continues to be hindered by certain technical and affordability limitations.  Key among the ...

Diminishing manufacturing source problems continue to cause shortages for critical DoD weapons systems, negatively impacting readiness. Subcomponents become obsolete and manufacturers go out of business, and it becomes difficult for the government to acquire approved parts at a fair or reasonable price — or at any price. The Air Force, Army, and Navy have an urgent need for a range of aging and ...

The US missile defense industry employes extensive usage of silica fabric reinforced composites in nozzle, motor case, leading and control surface insulation. Silica fabric reinforced phenolic insulators have been designed into strategic and tactical propulsion systems since the 1950s.  The original systems using molded silica phenolic nozzles and insulators for metal structure were pathfinders f ...

Estes Energetics is standing up domestic production of potassium nitrate, a critical chemical used several different market segments, including the defense industry. In this Phase II effort Estes Energetics will develop a pilot-scale production line that can be modularly expanded to greater potassium nitrate production rates and to other critical nitrates. The Phase II effort will scale up the pro ...

Compass Systems Inc. has extensive design and manufacturing expertise in the Cable Harness industry.  Our team of engineers and manufacturing technicians are well suited to support the technical review of fragmented/incomplete documentation, system inspection (if required), TDP generation, and the SAR submission for NSN 615013643908.  Compass Systems Inc. also possess extensive past performance ...

Carbon-Carbon has been demonstrated to be a robust and high performing material in the extreme environments that occur in hypersonic flight.  Carbon-Carbon is the key material system of many Thermal Protection System (TPS) designs for hypersonic vehicles.   One of the key areas of interest in TPS design is the leading edges.  Leading edges must maintain thermal and structural integrity through ...

DLA Aviation has specified National Stock Number (NSN) list identifying items where Agency would like to develop competition through the submission of Source Approval Requests (SAR’s). Surmet is a developer, manufacturer and supplier of precision optics products.  Through Phases I and II this SBIR program, Surmet plans to become an Approved Source for an item in this list, enabling participatio ...

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 ...

Kaney Inc. (Kaney) proposes development of a SAR package and development plan for National Stock Number (NSN) 6150-01-629-3728, a Battery Connector Assembly. This battery connector assembly is out of stock at two different suppliers (but available at a third supplier, please see below in Figure 6-1), and the NSN pertains to F-15C and F-15D based platforms including variants currently flown by some ...
