Space systems’ cyber vulnerabilities represent the “soft underbelly” of the U.S. satellite infrastructure. USSF SpOC Commander, Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting said governments such as China’s and Russia’s can attack satellites in orbit, but that cyberattacks offer a “lower bar to entry” to lesser powers, such as Iran or North Korea. In response to national security threats such as this one ...

The industrialization and urbanization movements have resulted in air pollutants being commonplace in industrial and residential areas; pollutants are produced by automobiles, manufacturing processes, and home improvement, among other activities. Air toxics pose a significant risk to public health and lower quality of life due to both acute and chronic health impacts. Therefore, there is a need fo ...

The Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop new standardization protocols and methodology for preconcentration, preparative-scale separation, and catalytic conversion of CH4 contained in mixtures of atmospheric gases for carbon-14 (14CCH4), carbon-13 (?13CCH4), and hydrogen-2 (?2HCH4) isotopic tracing. The approach addresses challenges with safely performing gas conversion ...

Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, with various anthropogenic factors increasing its prevalence. Methane has 28 times greater heating capacity than carbon dioxide and its atmospheric concentration has increased roughly from 800 parts-per-billion (ppb) in the early 1900s to an alarming 1800 ppb in 2016. With approximately 3.2 million abandoned wells in the US, mit ...

During this Phase II SBIR research project, Ohio Lumex will complete development of a sorbent trap method for continuous emissions monitoring of metal hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. If method sensitivity is sufficient and the method is approved by EPA, it may also be used as an alternative to Method 29 for short-duration testing. Metal HAP emissions from stationary sources are currently ...

Sustainment for Air Force legacy systems is driven by availability of critical spare parts.  Like the legacy systems themselves, these parts have likely been out of production for years, if not decades.  Arguably, it is insufficient technical data that is

Ombra, a Florida-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and Clarkson University propose to customize a unique solution to combatting the global pandemic of COVID-19: Advanced Water Testing Technology (AWTT). AWTT is ultrafiltration

Space Force needs an autonomous self-powered imaging sensor with onboard processing capabilities and wireless communication for satellites that can operate continuously under broad temperature conditions for the life of the space vehicle. The ability to a

A joint effort between Faraday Technology, LumiShield, and ES3 will develop an in-field pretreatment process for enhanced corrosion resistance and paint adhesion on aluminum and steel substrates, to replace chromate conversion coatings and primers current

Manual inspection costs USAF many hours every single day, time that airmen could dedicate to more important tasks such as training, significantly delays the readiness of the transport aircraft to perform their mission. Furthermore, delegating this task to
