Busek Co. Inc. proposes to develop the world’s best 15 kW Hall Effect Thruster (HET).  The thruster will have the lowest mass and highest performance of any HET in its class, including HETs in development in countries perceived as US adversaries. Proposed

The Air Force and Prime contractors have, for several years, supported SI2’s platform agnostic Resistive Film product development for legacy and future bombers, fighters, and drones.  SI2 Technologies will continue our Resistive Film product development b

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 applicant proposes to develop a novel hardware-software computer vision solution for advanced manufacturing. The team is building upon existing research in the field of computer vision by assessing 3D vision algorithms (e.g., object classification, po

Through recent research and development efforts with the Air Force Research Laboratory and Army Mobility Command, Toyon Research Corporation and the University of Dayton Research Institute have been informed of costly maintenance actions that results in c

Metal 3D printing, often referred to as metal additive manufacturing (MAM), is an advanced manufacturing technique witnessing explosive adoption growth rates in the aerospace industry. This proposal outlines the alteration of a commercial in-process quali

QuayChain working with Utah State University, is working together to identify and resolve data black holes in the supply chain and logistics industry.   QuayChain uses localized Machine Learning applications that combine computer vision and environmental

Aerospace components routinely require non-destructive inspection (NDI) to ensure integrity and safe operations. Neutron NDI radiographic imaging is a feasible technology for inspection of high density, high-Z, thick materials used in the latest aircraft
