Multi-Frequency Shock Survivable Fuze Components Navy SBIR FY2016.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2016.1 Topic No.: N161-019 Topic Title: Multi-Frequency Shock Survivable Fuze Components Proposal No.: N161-019-0357 Firm: Corvid Innovation LLC 145 Overhill Dr Mooresville, North Carolina 28117 Contact: Anthony Nelson Phone: (704) 799-6944 Abstract: Corvid is pleased to offer an innovative load path management solution to ensure the survivability of electronic fuze components in multi-frequency shock environments. Covid's solution is superior to conventional encapsulation, potting, and underfill methods by offering mass efficient mitigation of damaging SRS conditions, increased structural integrity, and being detachable. Risk and development time are reduced by using well characterized materials in intelligent combinations and advantageous geometries. Successful concept development is enabled by Corvid's unique predictive High Fidelity Computational Physics (HFCP) simulation tools, supercomputing facilities, and a fundamental understanding of shock environments. Our Phase I approach will facilitate a successful Phase II transition beginning with the development of a high-quality prototype design and pyroshock test plan. Benefits: The load path management solution laid out in this proposal would see great opportunity for commercialization in sales to the billion dollar military munitions and civilian blast industries. Specifically, the technology identified herein is applicable any scenario which requires electronic components to survive multiple blast events. As the US Military trends in favor of multi-use weapons, many independent fuze systems have been developed for different munition/target combinations. Using the computational design methodology described above and the technologies developed during this SBIR it will be possible to quickly and resourcefully develop load path management solutions for each fuze size and SRS environment.
