McQ Inc. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: N161-019

Description

The overall objective of this program is to develop a Multi-Frequency Shock Survivable Fuze (MFSSF) system utilizing a firing switch, a delay element, and high voltage capacitors, capable of surviving extreme high shock environments. Based on McQs extensive experience designing low cost, high efficiency, shock hardened electronics, it will develop an inexpensive solution to meet all of the requirements of this system. During Phase I, McQ will develop a suitable concept to approach the challenges of this project and demonstrate the concepts ability to survive the required environments. After finalizing an approach, McQ will perform a series of trade studies and a downselection of components, based on detailed analysis and shock testing results, that will conform to the specified form factor, shock, and environmental specifications. The complete tests results and design will be presented at both a formal preliminary design review (PDR) at the end of Phase I Option, as well as documented in a final report.
