Kennon Aircraft Covers proposes to develop a new cabin insulation system for the V-22 Osprey. The system will be comprised of easy-to-install, adjustable, non-damaging airframe attachment anchors; lightweight, semi-rigid, radiant barrier insulation panels; and adjustable attachment devices to… More

Phase II involves the refinement and testing of Phase I attachment anchor prototypes, including vibrational and thermal cycling. Phase II Option involves the investigation, design, prototyping and testing of lightweight insulation composites, including anti-ballistic capabiliities. Phase II and… More

One of the greatest threats to American armed forces serving in Iraq and Afghanistan is the damage caused by mines, roadside bombs, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The wide variety of device types, and increasing sophistication of these weapons, presents a growing challenge to protecting… More

This proposal seeks to develop, refine, and combine, several promising composites construction techniques in order to produce lighter, stronger, more agile boats, ultimately at reduced acquisition costs. These techniques rely on sophisticated uses of fibers and fiber layups, advanced methods of… More

Engineered materials can deliver strength to weight ratios that are ten times that of current raft and life preservers, that is, the materials are 1/10 the weight for same or greater strength. These materials hold great promise for creating much lighter and less bulky emergency rafts and life… More
