AN/ALE-47 Dispenser Assembly Retaining System Navy SBIR FY2010.3 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2010.3 Topic No.: N103-209 Topic Title: AN/ALE-47 Dispenser Assembly Retaining System Proposal No.: N103-209-0297 Firm: Honeybee Robotics 460 West 34th Street New York, New York 10001 Contact: Roopnarine Phone: (646) 459-7806 Web Site: http://www.honeybeerobotics.com Abstract: In order to provide the Navy with an efficient, reliable, safe and easy to use means of attaching CMDS magazines to their housings on board aircrafts, Honeybee Robotics Spacecraft Mechanisms Corporation proposes to develop an innovative fastening system. The proposed effort will focus on developing the system to be fully compatible with existing hardware while minimizing any changes to the CMDS design. The feasibility of the proposed design will be demonstrated via component-level hardware testing during Phase 1's base effort with full breadboard testing in the Optional phase. In a potential Phase 2, the design tested in Phase 1 will be optimized, built and field tested for the Navy. Benefits: It is anticipated that development of the fastening system will provide the Navy with an easy to use, efficient, safe and reliable fastening or attachment system. Such a system is expected to have commercial interest for hardware, e.g., computers, that are rack-mounted and in attaching other equipment, such as LRUs, on aircrafts and ships. Return
