Sciperio, Inc. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: A14-059
Sciperio, Inc. — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Defense.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $99,006. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.

Description
Initiators are used in Electro-explosive devices (EEDs) and must ensure the energetic device is not activated by accident and it must activate with guaranteed success when triggered. There are a number of initiator designs but the printed ignition bridge that has been demonstrated by the Army has potential to meet the safety and security criteria but also do this at a reduced cost. This proposed effort demonstrates a path utilizing microdispensing to strategically print silver paste using digital control. This is a Direct Printing approach and has the ability to reach the necessary small geometries required but also this approach can do this in a cost effective manner. The main issue will be the speed at which this can be done. A path that demonstrates how to utilize an existing printing platform but modified to adapt to this project will be shown.
