Triton Systems, Inc. will collaborate with The University of Massachusetts Lowell to develop a spray-based technology for the rapid, visual identification of opioids, turning contaminated areas from nondescript white powders to a brightly colored spots for easy recognition with the naked eye. The technology leverages molecular recognition units that bind strongly and specifically to a variety of o ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), in collaboration with its STTR partner Sandia National Laboratories, proposes to develop a spectrally-selective microbolometer. The latter is the core technology behind an envisioned Phase III handheld chemical standoff sensor for detection of chemical warfare (CW) agents and toxic industrial chemicals (TICs). The spectrally-selective microbolometer, underpinned by na ...

Cost effective and compact thermal energy storage systems that enable passive, non-powered, repeatable storage and release of heat could offer significant tactical and practical advantages for soldiers’ mission execution and success in a deployed setting of cold climates. Sorbent systems can store heat indefinitely, however, current sorbent-based technologies require storage tanks and complex co ...

SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2) proposes to build a radar detector and locator system integrated with the existing warfighter uniform to increase soldier lethality by enabling undetected maneuvering in the presence of hostile radar surveillance. This system alerts to the presence and direction of Ground Surveillance Radar (GSR) or Battlefield Surveillance Radar (BSR) at distances beyond maximum radar ...

In this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project, SC Solutions, teaming with Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), will demonstrate the feasibility of a scalable Quantum Computing Validation & Verification (QCVV) tool that will allow quantum computing researchers to rapidly and conveniently test and benchmark their quantum computing systems. While several QCVV techniques have been d ...

The military’s needs for soldier portable power are growing rapidly, and the only way to address this power need today is through batteries. Fuel cell power systems offer the potential of greatly reduced weight to support the soldier’s power needs, but fuel cell power systems today are only poorly optimized. To enable optimization of the fuel cell power systems for given user-specified power ...

Durability is the effect of time dependant processes, including fatigue, creep, moisture absorption, thermal-oxidation, abrasion, chemical reactions and physical ageing on mechanical properties. The ability to predict accurately the durability of composite materials and structures is critical to successfully designing for longevity. The existence of models alone is not sufficient; practical soft ...

Qualtech Systems, Inc., in cooperation with the University of Connecticut, proposes to develop a model-based system reliability and availability analysis methodology which considers the impact of different factors, including interactions between the hardware and software components, hardware and software architecture, failure severities, repair parameters, system architecture, and redundancy and f ...

The basic idea of a morphing aircraft wherein the vehicle changes its configuration to optimally perform in multiple flight segments holds the promise of achieving unprecedented levels of efficiency.  Morphing is most promising for small UAVs and taking inspiration from birds, we can exploit large shape changes, rapid inertia changes, articulation etc., to fly in congested urban and indoor spaces ...
