The Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) of OSD is leading a program to demonstrate a Hyper-Velocity Projectile (HVP) Gun Weapon System (HGWS) within the DoD. Emerging missile threats are highly agile, exhibit unpredictable behavior and are often protected by sophisticated counter-measures. To support the deployment of HVP weapon systems for defense against these threats, a comprehensive multi-targ ...

This program will develop and demonstrate a novel modular, continuous synthesis platform that can be rapidly reconfigured to produce multiple classes of energetic materials. Continuous synthesis of energetic materials has clear safety advantages, but current approaches are slow to realize due to long process development timelines. The proposed program will develop a system integration and control ...

Advancements in sensing/COMM abilities of hypersonic platforms is key in enabling the US forces to stay ahead of potential adversaries by increasing operational scope and performance. FIRST RF has, over the years, developed numerous key antenna technologies capable of sustained operation in the hypersonic regime. Key operational capabilities of hypersonic vehicles are closely tied to the thermal l ...

In gun-launched projectile applications, the launch accelerations are harsh and can be up to 50,000 g. In order to enable capability to operate in both high shock and aerothermal conditions, FIRST RF has developed compatible antenna technology. Prototypes of these sensors have been fabricated and validated to similar shock and thermal conditions. Additionally, as with all small weapons, space is v ...

R-DEX Systems proposes to adapt its commercial discrimination technology used in industrial automation to develop Deep Automatic Target Recognition (DATR) Technology. DATR utilizes revolutionary deep learning processing (deep belief networks or DBNs, restricted Boltzmann machines RBMs, and convolutional neural networks or CNNs) to automatically identify hidden, nonlinear features that are not iden ...

RNIs is proposing a novel approach for the Dismounted Augmented Reality Environment (DARE) as a component of the STE that is intended to fully integrate and interoperate with other STE components including live, virtual, and constructive domains, existing and future dismountedtraining simulations and equipment, and support cloud-based development and content delivery.

The militarys increasingly capable net-centric environment offers clear benefits and undeniable challenges. Due to the development of new sensor platforms and sensor technologies, physics-based information capabilities have increased but limitations on human/system exploitation capabilities have limited sensor tasking such that these capabilities are underutilized. IF there were enough people and ...

The density and storage capacity benefits of lithium-ion batteries and other high-energy density storage systems make them attractive options to enable game-changing and ambitious future missions across all branches of the military. Safe packaging of these systems has somewhat lagged and as a result, a few significant events have taken place, resulting in high-profile and sometimes dramatic incide ...
