MICROXACT 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 $79,915. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.

Description

Detecting and monitoring corrosion (e.g., galvanic, dissimilar metal contact, salt water induced, fresh water induced, etc.) and its related physical property degradations for 5XXX-series aluminum in harsh environments (high humidity and/or flooding, high temperatures, electromagnetic interference, etc) is calling for the development of a new type of NDE tool. MicroXact Inc. is proposing to develop such a system based on ultrasonic computer tomography approach. The proposed solution will provide two-dimensional mapping of densities and Young"s modulus of the device under test (DUT) with
