OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Renewable Energy Generation and Storage; Biotechnology TOPIC OBJECTIVE: The goal of this topic is to develop conformable hydrogen storage vessels that can store hydrogen at 700 bar (10,000 psi). TOPIC DESCRIPTION: As the Army moves towards electrifying its vehicle fleet, storing enough energy onboard vehicles to match or exceed their current performance is ...

OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Renewable Energy Generation and Storage; Biotechnology TOPIC OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this topic is to develop an on-demand hydrogen generation system that can be used to quickly refuel a vehicle in situations where its main fuel tank is empty. The end user for this system would be fuel cell system operators. In the event a fuel cell system depletes the mai ...

OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Integrated Sensing and Cyber OBJECTIVE: The innovative approach of this topic is the focus on reduced SWAP (size, weight, and power) in addition to performance. DESCRIPTION: Missions require the use of multiple sensors in order to achieve specific objectives. The sensors used extended range imaging applications relies on antiquated technology resulting ...

OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Advanced Materials OBJECTIVE: The purpose of a Sustainable Building Materials and Technologies focused Open Topic is to bring potentially valuable small business innovations to the Army and create an opportunity to expand the relevance of the Army SBIR program to firms who do not normally compete for SBIR awards. Building materials and technologies are ubi ...
