Accurate, high-performance 3D vision frameworks will play a key role in the development of advanced manufacturing. These systems will employ the use of powerful data feature extractors such as deep neural networks (DNNs). However, in terms of size, latenc

Conventional “subtractive” machining is a huge industry with critical implications for USAF and DOD. The vast majority of safety-critical parts are manufactured using subtractive machining because it produces excellent dimensional tolerance and a high-qua

The commercial development of Thermal Protection Systems (TPS)- the material that protects spacecraft and hypersonic vehicles from extreme heat-has suffered a decade-long innovation drought after the conclusion of the NASA Space Shuttle Orbiter program in

Quantum computer technology is critical and strategic to the Air Force. Quantum processor technology based on topological material (TM) qubits is inherently stable and fault-tolerant because it exploits local topological symmetries. TM are a new class of

Research in Flight, Utah State University, MIT, and Syracuse University are proposing the development of a unified hypersonic aircraft design tool that integrates the hypersonic flow analysis capabilities of the commercial FlightStream® flow solver with t

Military missions often have a deep hierarchical structure due to the need for extensive support for the top-level goal.  A typical strike mission in an Air Tasking Order (ATO) has the top-level goal to degrade specific targets.  To achieve that goal, pla

VESS (a small business developing and commercializing next generation aerospace, geospatial, and biomedical solutions), in collaboration with Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and extended team, is developing a threat detection and identification so

It currently is not possible to produce geospatially accurate 3D models and maps in real-time, on a consistent basis, because of limitations inherent in the frame selection process. Frame selection is costly and time-consuming process that is currently pe

In contested and challenging environments, visual line of sight to intruder or target ground vehicles is restricted for ground based tracker vehicles equipped with EO sensors. Under such conditions, aerial support provides an abundance of information as t

The need for accelerating U.S. Space Force personnel training has been coined by the U.S. Space Command Gen James Dickinson. Setting up training scenarios using the latest and best simulation exhausts lots of valuable resources. In order to maintain Unite
