SBIR research for simultaneous pressure and temperature measurement in hypersonic test facilities

The Department of War SBIR opportunity seeks research proposals for a luminescence-based method to measure surface pressure and temperature in hypersonic test facilities. - Government buyer: Department of War (DoW), Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. The topic-specific sponsoring office is not identified in the latest notice provided. - The attached broad SBIR announcement identifies the Department of the Navy, Department of the Air Force, and OSW Direct Report Portfolio Manager for Unmanned Systems as participating organizations; it does not establish which one sponsors this topic. - Requirement: Develop a technique for simultaneous surface pressure and temperature measurements in hypersonic wind tunnels that do not use oxygen-based test gas, addressing limitations of oxygen-dependent pressure-sensitive paint methods. - Requested work: Small-business research and development proposals under the SBIR program. The provided materials do not specify a hardware product, quantity, or part number. - OEMs and vendors: No commercial OEMs, vendors, or manufacturers are named. - Performance: The general announcement describes typical Phase I periods of 6–12 months and Phase II periods of 24 months. Topic-specific performance dates and duration are not provided.
