The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking proposals for the topic "Shipboard Proof Testing Apparatus for Field-Expedient Parts" as part of their SBIR 24.1 BAA program. The objective of this solicitation is to develop testing equipment for the shipboard environment that enables proof testing of field-expedient parts fabricated onboard. The Navy is looking to reduce the risk of installing inadequate parts by implementing a capability for proof testing designed parts at the point-of-need. The solution should be modular and able to test non-uniform objects, tools, and parts under different loading conditions and scenarios. It should also be able to withstand ship motion, vibration, shock, ventilation, and electromagnetic interference. The proposed solution should be easy to use, provide clear and easy-to-understand results, and have on-board processing capability. The project will have a Phase I for conceptual design and feasibility analysis, a Phase II for building and delivering a prototype system, and a Phase III for transitioning the production-ready machinery optimized for Navy expeditionary environments. The solution has potential applications beyond the shipboard community, including local maintenance activities, shipyards, and other military forward operating bases, as well as commercial industries such as shipping and oil and gas. The solicitation is closed, and more information can be found on the DOD SBIR website.
