| Commercialization of High-Rate Polyimide Composites for Military and Commercial Aircraft | Renegade Materials Corporation | Service temperatures of military aircraft and propulsion systems are increasing as a result of greater demand for speed, endurance, and fuel efficiency. State of the art materials, such as lightweight Polyimide composite materials have been sufficient to meet past requirements. But these materials are expensive to procure and difficult to process into structural components. Additionally, they present a significant health risk (toxic). A new high-rate, non-toxic polyimide material has been developed and demonstrated. This project will make it possible to complete the materials testing database which is essential to all aircraft qualifications that the new, high temperature, high-rate polyimide composite materials will have to successfully pass in order to see use on military and commercial aircraft. In addition, this project will result in the scale-up of production capacity for these materials which will be necessary to meet the supply demands of these military and commercial aircraft. Without a database and sufficient production capacity, aircraft prime contractors will not specify the use of these materials. The DOD will be able to realize greater performance, reliability, and safety from the adoption and implementation of these new high rate polyimide materials. The Air Force, Navy, GE Aviation Boeing, Northrop, Lockheed and other major defense contractors are actively participating in commercialization programs to incorporate this technology into integral JSF and other military components. This program typically last for 20+ years and the initial Military applications will quickly lead to extremely high-volume growth opportunities in next-generation commercial aircraft. This project will assure that these materials are fully certified and qualified, and that a domestic production capacity is in place. | $2,000,000 |
| Rapid Automated Processing of Advanced Low Observables | ATK Aerospace Structures | Military combat aircraft and naval vessels rely extensively on Radio Frequency sensor systems to provide situational awareness and threat termination. These systems often incorporate Frequency Selective Surfaces to protect high value systems while providing Low Observable performance. The complexity of FSS structures has greatly increased as size, load-carrying, bandwidth, and RF performance requirements have increased. Moreover, future RF systems will be integrated into platform structures to further optimize the platform's performance. Current methods of manufacturing are extremely labor intensive. Development of an automated FSS process would meet these future system requirements while also maintaining cost saving performance. High value military assets and unmanned aerial vehicles are moving rapidly from prototype and development, to production. At the same time, manufacturing methods for Frequency Selective Surface components such as radomes are marginally scaled to keep pace. Current FSS production methods are labor intensive, limit cost saving opportunities, and inhibit the performance improvements required by next generation platforms. New technology potential in FSS design, materials, and manufacturing techniques would make it possible to incorporate automated production methods earlier in the development process; however, this technology is not yet mature. Additional funds are needed to incorporate advanced processing techniques that would result in reductions in manufacturing costs, while increasing performance, reliability, and repeatability of FSS structures. The Rapid Automated Processing of Advanced Low Observables program seeks to develop, demonstrate and mature advanced, automated production methods for high performance, low-cost FSS structures. | $4,500,000 |

| Automated Sensor-Communication Response Technology II | SelectTech Services Corporation | The ability to automatically send sensor inputs through appropriate military communication channels will greatly enhance a commander's situational awareness, reduce decision making time, enhance the quality of decisions, minimize damage and ultimately save lives. Existing sensors can detect and generate alarms based on a broad range of criteria (eg. heat, chemical, biological, radiological, movement, sound, proximity, etc.), which can all be used to trigger an alarm. However, once the alarm is triggered, the most critical element is getting that information into the hands of the right decision maker. By placing an automated forwarding agent on the back of a sensor the sensor's alert can be targeted to specific decision makers thus alerting them to a changing environment and potentially dangerous situation. Additionally, using an automated forwarding agent enables downstream devices to become automated as well; a proximity trigger can alert a commander, focus additional ISR resources on an area, and change blue force defensive postures. There are multiple pieces required to build the notification system that provides for the automation of the standard operating procedures in a warfighter environment. This phase will include the design/redesign of the prototype effort and demonstrate the technology in a simulated operational environment. From a manufacturing prospective, the capability to produce these units in a small to mid size production environment will be achievable. Significant reduction of time intelligence and reconnaissance data gather from sensor to shooter - hours to minutes. Saves lives and money. | $4,000,000 |
