Description

The solicitation seeks innovative power source solutions for advanced ammunition fuzing applications to increase supplier base and production capacity. Proposed solutions must fit within a 400 mm3 cylindrical volume, maintain extended shelf-life, operate under high g-load and spin rate conditions, and withstand temperature extremes per MIL-STD-810 while supplying 50 to 200 mW during the mission. Phase I involves a feasibility study with a budget up to $250,000 for 6 months, including technology review and prototype evaluation. Subsequent phases focus on prototype development, integration, and testing, with potential applications in IoT devices, remote sensors, medical devices, and MEMS.
