The Defense Department is working hard on developing both hypersonic offensive and defensive capabilities. But in the immediate future, one of the most important areas to be developed is increasing the capacity at which such systems can be produced, said Gillian Bussey, director of the Joint Hypersonics Transition Office.                Atomic-6 was founded to solve a problem that the ...

This proposal provides a detailed account of our Team’s previous work through the Magnetic Braking and Electric Taxiing Program and provides a pathway for building and testing a brake system that has been designed and developed for the F-35 Lightening II aircraft platform.  Having competed the effort of designing the magnetic braking and electric taxiing system for a commercial Airbus A320, C-1 ...

There are significant Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) issues with electronics used in Department of Defense (DoD) systems. Nearly all DoD electronic systems are uniquely designed and manufactured for their specific applications using commercially available microcircuits at the time that they were designed. Integrated Circuits (ICs), or microcircuits, have an averag ...

LocatorX offers a broad range of capabilities built on the core of its LXConnect™ Application Server, an open Internet of Things (IoT) platform that encompasses many industry 4.0 concepts. From the digitization of complex, industrial, and material-focused processes often found in manufacturing and supply chain industries, a modern, API-driven interface maximizing interoperability with current an ...

Estes Energetics is standing up domestic production of potassium nitrate, a critical chemical used several different market segments, including the defense industry. In this Phase II effort Estes Energetics will develop a pilot-scale production line that can be modularly expanded to greater potassium nitrate production rates and to other critical nitrates. The Phase II effort will scale up the pro ...

Estes Energetics will demonstrate a versatile two-step process for the extraction and separation of magnesium powder from a variety of ordnance. In the first step, a solvent-free mechanical approach is used to separate the magnesium from binders. Such an approach maximizes the applicability of the method because it doesn’t rely on specific chemical compatibilities between the separation method a ...

There is a lack of specific, low-cost, rapid, sensitive, fieldable detection systems for animal/zoonotic disease that can simultaneously test for multiple diseases in a single test. State of the art field-detection kits for animal diseases consist mainly of ELISA test kits and PCR devices. However, both these techniques can only test for a single disease per test, thus screening for multiple disea ...

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) frontline personnel face enormous challenges to identify counterfeit State licenses in an operational setting. With printing technology continuing to advance and become more affordable, it is no surprise that United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Fraud Document Analysis Unit (FDAU) has seized an exponentially increasing number of high-quality count ...
