Brighton Cromwell, LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: DLA192-001

Description

In Contract SP4701-19-C-0068, we obtained samples from the USAF and technical data packages that were available, performed due diligence, reverse engineered, created engineering drawings, performed positive material identifications, developed a manufacturing plan for each part, developed testing protocol for qualification of parts, assigned proper quality control documentation, and all pertinent technical activities to complete a technical data package in accordance with the DLA requirements and submit a SAR for evaluation and acceptance. In this process, we develop parts that are with equal to or better performance of the existing USAF supplied parts.To enable us to make parts for final testing and qualification we recognized we have to make tooling, sample parts, and test samples at a cost that is significantly higher than anticipated for this project. In this phase, Brighton Cromwell will develop appropriate technical data, make tooling required,manufacture sample parts, and conduct analysis of our parts to assess comparative performance characteristics. In addition, we will utilize our manufacturing and engineers to critically analyze the components for the potential to reduce costs, extend life-cycle, and improve the quality of the components. The culmination of this effort will provide the basis for a business case for the final report. In this phase, we will pursue Engineering Support Activity (ESA) SAR development. After approval of our SAR’s we will bring the projects to commercialization and become an approved supplier for these obsolescence parts. Please refer to the commercialization plan for additional details.
