$68,046Benefits:
The commercial shipping industry increasingly relies upon changing computer, communications, and navigational equipment. Any system that decreases the time required and the effort expended to change this equipment has the potential of commercial sales. While commercial ships do not utilize similar Navy shock requirements, the potential for a reduced weight system is well within the capabilities and expertise developed from work performed in this SBIR solicitation. Additionally, several non-shipping uses of this modular equipment include automotive robotic welders and assemblers, which must be reconfigured upon each automotive design change, and microwave relay towers, which must be loaded with new antennas on a periodic basis. Essentially, any industry that would benefit from a modular, quick-disconnect system that holds equipment in place in rugged environments is a potential commercial application.
