SBIR Accomplishments/Plans

Abstract

DLA FY 2021 SBIR/STTR Accomplishments: - Grew Small Business capability to combat repair part sourcing challenges associated with weapon system aging, obsolescence, and DMSMS through innovation, reverse engineering, and advanced manufacturing techniques—510 projects awarded; 141 complete - Developed domestic suppliers for critical REEs, and derived materials and parts, such as magnets. Successfully developed recycling technologies for rare earth elements/magnets and qualified products for a drop-in replacement for high performance weapons systems (i.e. – F-35s/F-16s, JDAMs, turbine engines for various fighter jets, etc.) - Sponsored innovative manufacturing technologies to enhance supply chain operation and improve weapon system lifecycle performance (i.e. – Fuel Cells, A/C Canopy Seals, Braking Systems, etc.) - Developed Additive Manufacturing process monitoring and control system for Laser Powder Bed Fusion and Directed Energy Deposition methods – Transition system to OEMs, Army ARL, Air Force, NASA and other research institutions. DMEA SBIR/STTR: Continue to seek innovative technical solutions to DOD microelectronics research and development needs and increase private sector commercialization of these innovations. DMEA FY 2021 SBIR Accomplishments - The SBIR Program contributed to the advancement of microelectronics concepts, technologies, and applications through the following topics initiated in FY21: - 4H-SiC BiCMOS Development on 6” wafers in a High-Volume Production Foundry - Highly-Integrated SiC BiCMOS/Power Device Technology: Design, Modeling, and Reliability Metrics - Manufacturing Platform for High-Temperature CMOS ICs on SiC - Intelligent Automatic Serial Sectioning using Short Pulse Laser Polygon Scanning - Robotic Microelectronic Planar Serial Sectioning System (21-RD-282) DMEA FY 2021 STTR Accomplishments - The STTR Program contributed to the advancement of microelectronics concepts, technologies, and applications through the following topics initiated in FY21: - Micro-Supercapacitor for Integration with MEMS Energy Harvesting and CMOS ICs - High-Performance Zinc-ion Hybrid MEMS Supercapacitors with High Energy Density - Graphenated Carbon Nanotube Based MEMS Supercapacitors - Energy & Power Densed Supercapacitor: On-Chip Integration in MEMs Fabrication - Integrated Micro Super-Capacitors via Laser Induced Graphene from Photoresist
