Advanced Air Force turbine engines with integrated engine exhaust systems require diagnostic flow measurements. Integration of these systems into altitude test cells creates problems with T&E requirements such as impingement problems, exhaust cooling spray blowback, acoustic emission issues and limited space for measurement systems. Propulsion system analysts need better understanding of low aspec ...

Transfer learning AI approaches shall be used to customize EEG BCI models to users for monitoring vigilance decrement and task disengagement in realistic use-cases seen by UAS operators and trainees.

Quantum information technology will become a key enabler of future Air Force superiority. Topological insulator qubits are inherently stable and fault-tolerant because they exploit local topological symmetries and global boundary conditions of chalcogenide materials to yield unique, emergent quantum cooperative states. Wake Forest University and Streamline Automation have been working collaborativ ...

Majority of mission critical systems store and transport heterogeneous information with multiple level of security , which requires assured information segregation. The proposed technology is a software solution to provide highly assured data and process separation and isolation.

TrueNano, Inc. will in collaboration with the University of Colorado and industry partners, produce a novel single wafer, high throughput, cold wall Hot Filament CVD (HF-CVD) reactor prototype for the growth of high-quality silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxial layers, suitable for the next generation of power electronic devices and systems. This includes the design and simulation of the reactor chamber ...

High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) characterization and maintenance accounts for a significant portion of the overall life cycle cost of most military propulsion systems.  A key variable that drives HCF margin is dynamic response which is directly related to the geometry of each part.  This is especially true of integrally bladed rotors (IBRs, or blisks).  It has been well established that HCF is a proba ...

Open-ended waveguide probes have been developed and successfully tested for nondestructive characterization of multi-layered non-conductive composite structures as well as coatings on conductive substrates. These probes have been used to inspect radomes, fiberglass composites, coating thickness, corrosion under paint and composites, specialty coatings such as radar absorbing materials and resistiv ...

In resource limited settings, rapid and accurate diagnosis of infections is critical for managing potential exposures to highly virulent pathogens, whether occurring from an act of bioterrorism or a natural event. This is especially important for hard to detect intracellular bacterial and alphavirus infections, that overlap symptomatically and often treated empirically due to a lack of reliable an ...

 Resilient and self-healing airborne networking provides the essential communication platform for effective information exchange among warfighters to successfully collaborate and execute missions. Moreover, communication over THz band is promising to support high data rate for airborne military applications such as 3D image scanning, augmented reality, and virtual reality. However, airborne commu ...
