Large-scale military and civilian planning problems are (1) distributed – decision-making is spread across multiple organizations, including organizations that must employ information that they are unable or unwilling to share; (2) heterogeneous – the domains of optimization and local criteria for optimality differ – and (3) hierarchical – higher levels of authority solve abstract versions ...

Your crazy schedule is working on your blinking, heavy eyelids while you yawn again. And again.  That quick carb-heavy bite you grabbed for lunch is no help while you struggle to concentrate on the expensive equipment in front of you. You’re irritable from the caffeine you hoped would help. The only thing you can think about is the last good night’s sleep you had.  When was that anyway? You ...

Granite Mountain Industries, LLC (DBA Rapid Assault Tools (RA Tools)), will research the customer support within the US Air Force to design a robot mounted and controlled hydraulic breaching tool to defeat fortified inward swinging doors and other obstacles.  This will be accomplished by adapting their commercially available battery powered pump, develop a self-engaging breaching tool and a modul ...

Maintaining awareness of the space environment is a critical task for national security, one that currently relies primarily on radar and photometric data to track the thousands of active satellites and debris in Earth orbit. Despite the volumes of data a

Bird and wildlife strikes endanger Airmen and aircraft safety. Current Department of the Air Force (DAF) Bird/wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) detection and mitigation measures are highly manual, cost-prohibitive, and limited in their detection capa

Underground water leaks from damaged or ruptured utilities pipes are a highly dangerous, labor-intensive, and operationally disruptive occurrence for Department of the Air Force (DAF) air bases and installations. Identifying these incidents is extremely d

Currently, defense-wide USG organizations can take weeks to compile critical reports, assembling information and data using the “cut and paste” method. These critical reports synthesize newly available information to assist in decision-making on both a po

bluShift wants to use our core technologies to develop a launch vehicle system that can be used as a responsive method of quickly launching, assisting, or re-deploying small satellites that are critical for national security or other basic functions that keep America running safely and securely. These small, robust, storable, and nimble launch vehicles will form the bluShift RTSLS fleet (Responsiv ...

nGrand Forks Air Force Base (GFAFB) is a sprawling installation on a 5,773 acre installation with 13 miles of perimeter fence-line. Many of these perimeter areas have limited monitoring capabilities due to a lack of grid power for fixed sensors and cameras. Installing sensors is impractical due to cost and time constraints and the remoteness of these areas.  The squadron deploys teams of Defender ...
