Current US Air Force small propulsion and power control systems are often unreliable and employ closed architectures that lack scalability, leading to lengthy and costly modifications when changes or upgrades are needed by the warfighter. The problem is caused by application specific design, slow software development practices, and custom hardware. In addition, current UAS/SUAS and cruise missile ...

Although tactics in the air-to-air arena continually evolve, the foundational displays that present the weapon capability via the fire control PVI/HMI have become well established. Hypersonic weapons however, present new capabilities, and the associated fire control PVI/HMI should reflect those capabilities. Furthermore, by their very nature, hypersonic weapons blur the boundary between the tactic ...

SoarTech proposes the Civil Engineer Inspection Toolkit (CE-IT), a real-time assistant for wide area inspection tasks using sUAS. CE-IT will extend RADAS to provide a more general-purpose, rapid inspection capability. In the commercial domain, inspection tasks are often broken up into separate data collection and data analysis tasks. CE-IT will develop an initial set of analytics and help the Air ...

The ATLAS Freedom Software Platform simplifies the traditionally complex approaches to satellite operations and network management with the first cloud-based, software-only space management and control system. ATLAS Space Operations has commercialized the technology to connect disparate ground systems, improving efficiency and providing the security the Air Force requires, while also reducing the ...

BrainGu's Structsure [CTRL] Provisioning engine, and Structsure Complete PaaS allows teams to control the security posture of critical application inside mission-relevant timeframes. Structsure can be used to meet required controls for ATO without spending months of scanning, configuring, and POA&Ms. Better yet, Structsure empowers airmen and operators to do this without writing any code, getting ...

sci_Zone is proposing LinkStar-TRK, a computer and communications system with integrated GPS for satellites, providing global communications, and rapid tracking. LinkStar-TRK is to become the heart of future satellites providing a flexible vehicle management system, global communications, and accurate and rapid tracking of 0.5U and larger cubesats and small satellites, providing exceptional situat ...

Liquid-metal coolants are one of the most promising solutions for the challenges of advanced high temperature nuclear reactor systems.They optimize heat transfer, neutronics, safety, and compactness of the reactor systems.Molten lead and lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) are the primary coolant candidates due to their unique thermo-mechanical and neutronics properties.However, they are highly corrosive ...

vST makes an interactive virtual space of the physical world useful; with accurate and properly geolocated terrain and structure visualizations. It allows the navigation through a prospective area of operations prior to engagement. This allows decision makers the opportunity to identify obstacles and exploitable characteristics during the early stages of the decision-making process. vST provides T ...

Baker Engineering LLC. (BE) has been developing small lightweight turbochargers to help address the fact that small UAS engines currently suffer from low durability, poor efficiency, and non-heavy fuel operations. Specifically, BE’s efforts focus on turbochargers for the class 2 and 3 UAS engines. The advanced turbochargers enhance the durability, efficiency, and overall operations of small ...

The declining cost of solar technology for electricity generation has led to a dramatic increase in its deployment. However, the intermittent nature of solar photovoltaic generation presents a significant challenge for grid operators, and it is widely recognized that co-located, inexpensive and reliable energy storage is required to promote the stability and operational flexibility of the grid. Id ...
