NextGen Federal Systems (NextGen), a Small Business Concern (SBC), is excited to propose a powerful software package, coupled database, and a machine-learning (ML) workflow to support streamlined evaluation and research-to-operations (R2O) of space weather ML models and techniques. In response to the NOAA Effect of Space Weather subtopic (NOAA SBIR 9.5), we propose the Machine Intelligence for Spa ...

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 ...

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-16 aircraft platform.  Having competed the effort of designing the magnetic braking and electric taxiing system for a commercial Airbus A320, C-17, U-2 in prev ...

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 ...

This research aims to develop decision support tools for better maintenance and planning of renewable energy generation and storage assets using atmospheric, local weather, and on-ground environmental data blended with site-, regional- and national-generation data. The study will use a combination of these data to understand the relationship between non-cloud cover based atmospheric conditions and ...

We propose to use Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) measurements as an early warning system, to cue on-site validation of the soiling station and any available meteorological (MET) station data to validate if a work order to clean deposited particulate matter is necessary. This would move from reactive maintenance – often weeks delayed, to proactive maintenance – getting ahead of the weather impact ...
