Creare is working with NASA to develop innovative drones for planetary exploration missions.  Our novel ring-wing design enables simple takeoff and landing in vertical flight mode combined with long range flight in horizontal fixed-wing mode.   Prototypes are under development for use on Venus and Titan.  Recent papers (here and here) described this work in more […]

Creare is developing a new dosimeter to accurately assess hazardous noise exposure for individuals working in environments with both loud ambient and impulsive noise in military and industrial settings.  Read more here.

Creare is working with industry partners and the U.S. Department of Transportation to develop a prototype, autonomous system that can deploy roadside hazard markers around a stopped vehicle.  Our Automated Maker Deployment for Autonomous Trucks (AMDAT) system will support the development and deployment of autonomous vehicles by enabling them to meet regulatory and safety requirements.

Creare’s high-speed, high-efficiency, long-life circuit breakers will protect personnel and equipment from electrical faults in next-generation electric and hybrid electric vehicles.  Our Gallium-Nitride Solid State Circuit Breaker (GaN SSCB) offers much higher performance in high-power, DC electrical power systems than conventional electro-mechanical devices.  These power systems are critical for next-generation military combat vehicles that are […]

Creare has developed and demonstrated a high-efficiency, high-capacity reverse-Brayton cryocooler for zero-boil-off storage and liquefaction of hydrogen at 20 K.  Our cooler provides over ten times more refrigeration at 20K than competing coolers and is a key enabling technology for future space exploration missions.  Our paper at the 2020 International Cryocooler Conference describes this ground-breaking […]

Creare has been awarded a contract from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to develop a Wireless Open Water Logger (WOWL) to improve the productivity of fisheries and aquaculture.  WOWL helps commercial fishermen improve their catch by measuring and logging water temperature with a rugged sensor package that attaches to their fishing gear.  Data are […]

Not many companies can trace their SBIR heritage all the way back to the beginning—and for the history buffs here, we’re talking about 1982, when the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program as we know it today was first signed into law from legislation enacted by New Hampshire Senator Warren Rudman. Creare, also based in […]

Creare-developed Wireless Automated Hearing Test System (WAHTS) saves the hearing of deployed service members exposed to hazardous noise by enabling localized audiometric testing without the need for a sound booth or an audiologist. Read more about this system in this article from The Military Health System.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA, May 25, 2021: — The Creare – West Coast Solutions (WCS) Team has successfully delivered custom, flight-qualified space hardware to the Hawaii Space Flight Laboratory for integration into the HyTI (Hyperspectral Thermal Imager) Satellite.  HyTI, funded by NASA’s Earth Science Technology Office InVEST (In-Space Validation of Earth Science Technologies) program, will demonstrate […]

Creare has developed an innovative device that will enable reliable and efficient transfer of cryogenic rocket propellant in microgravity. Propellant transfer is a key technology needed to support future space exploration missions. Our screened channel liquid acquisition device enables rapid transfer of cryogenic liquids across a wide range of operating conditions while preventing vapor ingestion […]
