The Department of Defense, through the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), is seeking innovative solutions under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program for the development of a predictive methodology aimed at optimizing tamped direct laser impulse parameters. The objective is to create a fast-running tool or methodology that can accurately determine the necessary laser and tamper parameters to achieve a specified impulse on various materials or 3D structures, addressing the complexities of modeling uncertainties and experimental variabilities. This initiative is crucial for advancing the capabilities of impulse delivery systems in defense applications, particularly in the context of materials testing since the cessation of underground nuclear testing. Interested parties should note that the solicitation is currently closed, with the application due date having been set for October 23, 2024, and further details can be accessed through the DOD SBIR website.
