LYNNTECH INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: N162-077

Description

Scout/Snipers gain a decisive tactical advantage and provide significant psychological effect by firing from concealed positions. These advantages can be extended well beyond the first shot through the use of suppressors. However, the use of suppressors leads to accumulation of fouling both in the host weapon and the suppressor. No market-available system has been thoroughly evaluated to ensure both adequate cleaning is obtained, and that no damage in incurred by the suppressors as a result of the cleaning process.<br>Lynntech will develop a suppressor cleaning machine which will remove carbonaceous and metallic deposits from the suppressor baffle stack by a combination of mechanical and chemical means. Oils, particulates, and dissolved metals will be isolated from the environmentally friendly solvent enabling its reuse. The systems closed-cycle operation minimizes environmental impact, personnel hazards, and resource requirements. <br>Lynntech and its assembled team is uniquely qualified for this task, uniting institutional knowledge and individual experience in precision cleaning systems, effluent remediation, toxic metals isolation, and closed-loop purification systems. The diverse team includes Mechanical Engineers, Organic and Inorganic Chemists, a former Marine Scout/Sniper, and a retired Marine Precision Weapons Armorer.
